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

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.

Last night three dozen hardy riders showed up for a cold but joyful ride from West to South Philly. I really liked the after-party at Second District, where it felt like we had our own clubhouse in the back room.

Feast your eyes upon the native plant seed bombs. Imagine yourself tossing these on to cold, damp earth where they will sleep, and then grow

Among many things, Alex Pretti was a cyclist. His bike shop Angry Catfish in Minneapolis organized a memorial ride for him, and it's gone nationwide. This Saturday, the Damp Roads folks + a few local shops are organizing the Philly version. Let's show up for Alex. www.instagram.com/p/DUDaFwUjpfQ/

I'm an optimist, but I was still astonished how many people turned up for the Holiday Lights Ride last night. It rained for the four hours before the ride! Yet I'd guess around 200 people, maybe more, came out to roll through the illuminated streets of South Philly. Just wild.
