Since 2005, our annual Bike Counts have been critical in demonstrating the growth of our cycling community and supporting the Bicycle Coalition’s ongoing efforts to advocate for safer streets. These annual Bike Counts are a huge effort for us to complete, and we simply could not do it without your help. 🙌🏽

The Wiz Wit offers solid milage with local terrain, rolling hills, and shaded roads without demanding a hefty commitment. 🚵🏽‍♂️ Plus, you'll have multiple aid stations to help you meet the challenge:
* Kismet Bagels & Main Line Cycles (Lower Merion)
* La Colombe (Bryn Mawr)
* Morning Talk Cafe (Consho)

💪🏽 Best of all, when you ride Roll Wit It, you’re paying it forward – your entry fee and team fundraising goes to support the BCYC collegiate scholarship program. 🎓

Every crash represents a person, a family, and a community affected by preventable traffic violence. Earlier this month, we joined the family and community of Glenn Colville Jr. to install a ghost bike at the site of his crash on Aramingo Ave, a street that's been on the City's high-injury network since 2017.

The flex post delineated bike lane did not protect Glenn. Every death and serious injury is a reason to act and yet our elected leaders stall in building evidence-based interventions to improve the safety of their constituents.

Among the actions needed to make our streets safe is the legalization of parking protected bike lanes in Pennsylvania. Communities across the Commonwealth have spoken up. Thousands of residents have signed petitions. Municipal planners, engineers, mayors, and local officials have all said the same thing: they need these types of bike lanes to be legalized to build safer streets.

Love a casual cruise and wanting to try something just a little longer than your usual? The Wiz is the ride for you! ✨

Join us at the start line on September 19th and ride this short, casual loop featuring a favorite local hill on your way to the rest stop. The return trip takes you through scenic back roads and Manayunk toward MLK. 🌳🚲 Whether you're cruising solo or rolling with friends, your registration for Roll Wit It goes directly to the collegiate scholarship fund. 🎓

➡️ Sign our petition (https://bit.ly/4xaPb1k) to Governor Shapiro to End Traffic Violence in Pennsylvania. Every crash represents a person, a family, and a community affected by preventable traffic violence. Traffic deaths and serious injuries are preventable. Our roads can be safer.

We urge Governor Shapiro to make traffic safety a public health priority and take meaningful actions to end preventable traffic violence in Pennsylvania.

Sign the petition and demand safer streets for every Pennsylvanian.

We spent this Saturday in Hunting Park for Hunting Park United Family Fun Fitness Day! 🚲 🐐 Bicycle Coalition Youth Cycling did a litter clean up of the area before enjoying the festivities while our bike educators activated the Lil' Philly Safety Village with free bike and helmet rentals and riding instruction. PLUS! We raffled off two youth bikes to Fun Day attendees. 🤗 🚲

The next bike and play sessions at the Safety Village is on September 26th! Register your youth at the link: https://give.bicyclecoalition.org/event/lil-philly-safety-village-bike-and-play-september/e783134
