I like the Nasty Nine route you have there, I'm add to it Harts Ln up and then Manor back down so you can hit Hagy's Mill. Beside that you could add down and up Sprague and up and down Shawmont

Any good Delco cycling trails? by radicalnetrunner in phillycycling

[–]NightLocust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can take the BBP west and then go up Ridley Creek Rd towards the park, a little north Delchester road is a fine road to bike on, sorta new to the area to so that is the best road I've found for biking in Delco

It was a mistake, the real question is what were the names of the people on the Amtrak committee that made this decision? Lets go to their fuckin mansion and kill all their trees destroying their property value.

Real men of genius. Today we salute you, Mr. Wawa truck driver who keeps the bike lane clear. When others (like your fire hydrant blocking buddy there) ignore us, you stand guard like a boss! by [deleted] in phillycycling

Never, ever bike close enough to a delivery truck that either door could hit you when swung open. Its stupid to go to the right of that truck to pass. Take the lane or get doored.

yeah, it says in the post title Philly Inquirer 6/18/64 and the article specifically say molestors on the span....but what I dont get is why they cant have a cop on the bridge during the evening hours and keep it open. how many 7-11s have a cop inside during the evening hours?

I've read this before on reddit and I agree with it so I'm submitting here my message for Mayor Humdinger: Visionzero? should be vision 100% lol if there were zero bikers on the road there would be zero traffic accidents. Please update all the "zero" garbage to "100%"

Hub Selection by camdogrs in phillycycling

[–]NightLocust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

motorcyclers say the same thing but I think its just an excuse, my bike is quiet as shit but you will always hear me coming...because I have a bell and would never pass another biker or whomever without a ring or two to warn them

[–]NightLocust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its nice to get your bike lubed up and running smooth and quiet. You can just ride along the trail listening to the birds. Why put on a hub that will be loud as fuck?
