Philly drivers are so aggressive it's understandable most don't feel safe enough to bike, sadly! I think @wednightrides.org or any group ride is a great option for getting familiar with some bike routes and main bike lanes!

We were feelin' pretty free last night. It was tons of fun to be part of a pack of 100 cyclists rolling around South Philly. Thanks to @peterskim.org for planning and leading. South Bowl was a great spot to end, too, with the outdoor Yard

Sep 16 // South Philly Sport South Philly is well known as home to our beloved Eagles, Phillies, 76ers, and Flyers, but it's also home to a variety of spaces where people of all ages and backgrounds in the community come together to play sports.

We need to do more dark trail rides for @wednightrides.org! My first time in Tacony Creek Park--so nice, even in the dark. Thanks @zajic.com for leading and coming up with the route!

Whoa, that was wild. Last night about 100 of us rolled from Fishtown to and through a quite dark Tacony Creek Park. But we made it out the other side for Korean BBQ at MUTA! That was an adventure.

I'm also looking forward to what I think is our first time ending at a Korean place. 🇰🇷 Korean BBQ might be too heavy after a bike ride but I recommend 해물파전 (seafood pancake), 떡볶이 (spicy rice cake), or Korean fried chicken for good shareable dishes. Or 팥빙수 (shaved ice) if you want something sweet.

Sometimes we do rides that go out a lot further from Center City. It’s a great opportunity to bring your bike on the train for a multi-modal commute. 🚲🚊

8/2: Tacony Creek/K-pop Thrilled for a 1st time ride thru Tacony Creek Park. Starting @ Fishtown's Palmer Park, we'll take Tulip, Venango & K Streets to the lush, green creek-surrounding park. Twilight ride in a park w/ dark spots make lights essential - bright enough to see w/, not just to be seen

Aug 5 // Water Ice The dog days of summer are here - what better way to stay cool than with water ice? For this edition of Wednesday Night Rides, Dan will lead us as we roll past (or near) at least 9 water ice locations in South Philly before ending at Parks on Tap at Wharton Square. We’ll pass:

Reminiscing about that ride. Every @wednightrides.org is a beautiful gathering of humans on bikes but it's special when we can host guests from other places to experience how wonderful our city is. bsky.app/profile/pete...

To make friends, join a club. To join a club, find an activity fair.
