The RBR extended family will be traveling to Philadelphia for the September 13th Bike Philly ride. Bike Philly is in its third year now and is a fantastic opportunity to ride through the heart of the city unencumbered.

I've ridden the first two years and can attest to the highly organized nature of this event. It's a beautiful ride and sorely needs more recumbent riders. My first year there, I thought there was a whole section for bent folks, but it was just for people who wanted to ride at a slower pace. What a shame.

If you attend, be on the lookout for the RBR logo jerseys. Come on over and say "Hi!"

Bike Philly features 10, 20, 35, and 50 mile routes through a combination of closed and shared streets. The 10 and 20 routes are completely closed to traffic and are perfect for family rides. My son Gareth and I will be rocking (well, rolling) the 10 on his Hase Pino.

Registration is still open, so if you live in the region, you could do worse than join us for a great ride. See you there!
