It is for those who are new to Philadelphia to discover safe cycling routes. It is for those who just want a socially friendly bicycle ride with others, making bicycle friends. So come out this Sunday and ride. All you need is an approved bicycle helmet and a working bicycle. If KYW is reporting rain outside their studio one hour prior to start ride cancels.
