Spoke-tacular Time at Bike to Work Day 2017

Friday, May 19 was National Bike to Work Day. Clean Air Council celebrated new and experienced bike commuters in the Navy Yard with PIDC, GoPhillyGo, and South Philly Bikes. The turnout was amazing. From South Philly, West Philly, Fishtown and even as far as Manayunk, bike commuters rode down to the Navy Yard, where they work, from all over the City. At our Bike to Work Day Station, cyclists enjoyed free 10-minute tune ups from South Philly Bike Works and refreshments from Philly Foodworks. Some even gave our SEPTA bus-bike rack a try. At 2.2%, Philadelphia has the highest bike commute rate among the 10 largest U.S. cities. Hear why a few Philadelphians bike to work and check out the photos from Bike to Work Day 2017 below.
