Explore several different kinds of bicycle facilities in Center City Philadelphia and hear the stories of how they came to be, including collaboration with community groups, businesses, elected officials and other agencies. The approximately 8-mile route includes bike lanes, protected bike lanes, curb protected bike lanes, the Delaware River Trail, a road diet and the dramatic Schuylkill Banks Boardwalk – a 2,000 foot long, 15 feet wide multi-use structure running parallel to the eastern shore of the river. Ride back into the street grid to separated bike lanes on Market Street. Then circle the famous Philadelphia Art Museum steps – pump your fists – and ride in glory down the Ben Franklin Parkway. See how the city is making safety improvements as it expands and connects the cycling network.
