Cycling in Philadelphia (PA)

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

We recently moved from Philadelphia to the NJ suburbs. I absolutely hate it here, moving here was my husbands idea. Argh!

Anyway, due to a leg injury I had not ridden my bike all week. I took the bus back into Philadelphia for the day, and was so happy to see so MANY people riding bikes in center city Phila! I had not been to CC Philly in years even before our move, and I only recently returned to cycling myself. Years ago in the early 1980s when I used my bike to go to work in CC Philly, almost no one rode bikes for transport. Now, it seems like everyone does. I saw old ladies on bikes, housewives, kids, stockbrokers, everyone. And mostly all buildings had bike racks outside...I even saw some signs the city put up with a cyclist and a car on it, saying, "Share the road with a cyclist".

Now I REALLY want to move back home but I can't! :(
