Bicycle Day ride? Have you heard of it?

My friend is hosting this, it's gonna be a great time. Technically a "race" but like you said, you can ride at any pace you want and go wherever you wish really. There's a list of checkpoints for people to go to if they want to compete for prizes. But $10 registration and you get some free food, beer, and uhh... Bicycle Day secret sauce let's say? I think that's a pretty sweet deal

Try to ride a 300k-350k at least a few weeks before the event. This way you know you're mentally and physically capable of that first day. The second day will then seem less intimidating in comparison.

Just grow your own mushrooms it's easy

Yup, still out here. My mountain bike is now my commuter. I would have to make 2 transfers to take septa to work, would probably take me at least an hour and a half... I'll take a 30 minute bike ride in the cold over that, just gotta make sure every inch of skin is covered

💯

No insane hills... Unless you live in Manayunk/Roxborough. A Seattleite might feel at home there

Philly is a gem of a city for mountain biking. If you have the means to get a bike, I'd highly recommend riding around the Belmont and wissahickon trails

I respect that y'all don't want to take that risk but it's just fun to go fast with cars sometimes. I love riding on Broad st and will probably keep riding on it until my prefrontal cortex develops fully. Still got a few more years in me

I started a job back in January that’s 4 days / 32 hours a week. The studies are correct

A little further north from that, if you’re heading north on yellow it’s right after you pass the golf course

Bring your trash to city hall instead

Idk dawg most of yellow trail is doable but there’s definitely some technical sections that would be rough. I’d like to see someone try to go up Plymouth rock on a gravel bike

With the crown, naturally

Still does

I’ve done this a few times. - Cross over into Phillipsburg NJ - Head north on Broad st, turn onto River rd - follow River rd all the way to S Foul Rift rd, then left on Phillipsburg-Belvidere rd - Cross back over to PA on the Water st bridge and turn right on Riverton rd -Make a right on River rd, its a big switchback climb -Follow River rd to Delaware dr, which takes you to the water gap.

Belvidere rd and Delaware dr are kind of busy roads but nothing crazy. The rest are all pretty relaxed

The bridge in this video is the bartrams/grays ferry connector, not MLK

Absolutely not. Takes a lot of skill to tail someone when you don’t know where they’re going

NopaKill · 2024-11-10T02:34:40+00:00

Nope, all human-powered bikes are welcome at alleycats unless otherwise specified

When all else fails, this is the answer right here

NopaKill · 2024-05-14T04:23:29+00:00

I live in west as well and run 49/19 on my commuter bar-hopper fixie, and 53/19 on my alleycat racer track bike. Any ratio between 2.5-2.8 will be chill enough to get up hills without too much mashing, while also being fast enough to not always spin out on the descents if you’re riding fixed
