Even though particular routes are highlighted on the map, bicyclists may use most roads in Philadelphia that are open to cars. Bicyclists have the same responsibility as motor vehicle operators to obey traffic laws. Bikes on Transit Bringing a bike on the train or bus can be a great time- saver or welcome relief from the rain. Cyclists commuting downhill during daylight hours into Center City from the west and northwest can take advantage of SEPTA’s climate-controlled, off-peak service on their return commute after dark.

This event is sponsored by the City of Philadelphia, Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia, Center City District, Central Philadelphia Transportation Management Association, Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission, and local businesses. S A F E T Y T Sustained Yield I P S Built for Two Roads are built for vehicles, including bicycles. Bicycles are not restricted to bikeways; they share the road with motorists and also share responsibility for obeying the rules of the road. Sidewalks are for pedestrians, not bicyclists. When making a left turn, move to the left of the center lane, indicate your intention by signaling and using eye contact. Make the turn when there is an opening. PATCO (215) 922-4600 Bicycles are welcome on board all Speedline trains. The Ride-of-Way Never ride against traffic. Usually you should ride in a straight line to the right of traffic or in a designated bike lane. But you have the right (and responsibility) to use any part of the road you need to ensure your safety. In conflicts between cars and bicycles, the bicyclist always loses. Ride defensively and always be prepared to yield. A Crash Course in Cycling Common causes of bicycling accidents in Philadelphia are: • Bicyclists riding against traffic, even on bike lanes • Bicyclists riding on sidewalks • Inadequate lights and reflectors on bikes • Conflicts at intersections, usually between a cyclist going straight and an adjacent or oncoming car turning. New Jersey Transit (973) 491-9400 All New Jersey Transit buses serving Philadelphia and southern New Jersey carry bicycles. Bicycle storage on trains: Up to two standard frame bicycles can be accommodated in accessible areas. Accessible cars are designated with an international symbol of accessibility.

For your safety, make eye contact before assuming the driver sees you. Conditions on streets and trails may vary. Be prepared to make your own evaluation of traffic and road/path conditions. Plan routes appropriate to your riding skills. Squeeze handle and pull down rack Place bike in slot Grasp support arm And pull over tire Be Real Bicycles are, in fact, vehicles. They are not toys. Drivers and police expect all vehicles to: • stop at stop signs and signals • ride in the proper direction on one-way streets • signal before turning • yield to pedestrians PENNDOT Greyhound & Peter Pan (800) 231-2222 Greyhound carries boxed bicycles between Philadelphia, New York, Washington D.C. and Massachusetts on a space available basis. On Peter Pan, the front wheel should be removed. Bicycles may need to be boxed if there is limited space. Open Door Policy Ride far enough away from parked cars to avoid an opening door and stay alert. Regional Rail Bicycles are welcome onboard trains during off-peak hours, weekends, and the following holidays: Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day. Bicycle Repair and Safety Classes www.neighborhoodbikeworks.org Neighborhood Bike Works provides bicycle maintenance and safety training to both youth and adults. In afterschool, weekend, and summer classes, youth rebuild donated bicycles which they get to keep by completing the class requirements. Passing Fancy Philadelphia’s popular off-road trails can be very crowded. When pedestrians or slow-moving bicyclists are present, slow down and give a bell or voice warning before passing. Reflect Action Equip your bike with lights and reflectors and wear reflective clothing for riding at night or in the rain. Be aware that bicyclists are least visible as it begins to get dark.
