Pagan and mystical, honestly. Rode our bikes in a spiral to the top of a hill in Camden while the storm whipped Philly. Got caught in the big rain just before arriving at DOOM

Great episode, especially because of all the love for Philly. @wednightrides.org also gets a shout out. Thanks for coming to our amazing city! The Philly part starts at the 53:30 mark.

New episode up! Final dispatches from our North American book tour...we get into what we saw in cities from Chicago to Columbus to Montréal to Portland, Maine! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

Reminiscing about that ride. Every @wednightrides.org is a beautiful gathering of humans on bikes but it's special when we can host guests from other places to experience how wonderful our city is. bsky.app/profile/pete...

Last night's ride was a thing of beauty. A crowd of least 100 cyclists cruising the city checking out sweet new bike lanes. And we had our second tall bike join the ride!

Jun 24 // 5th Anniversary Redux Wednesday Night Rides just turned 5 years old. Whether you're a regular or it's your first time riding with us, come out and take part in one of the many group rides that keep Philly rolling.

RidewithGPS recently added the ability to create Events, so as an experiment I made one for this week's ride. Useful? ridewithgps.com/events/48836...

Jun 10 // 5th Anniversary Wednesday Night Rides turns 5: what started as a small group ride has grown into an incredible community of riders & friends from across the city. We'll celebrate (as we have the last 2 yrs) w/ a nice ride thru FDR Park & Navy Yard before ending at Second District Brewing.

Loved this @vox.com story about the next wave of social clubs featuring the Philadelphia Activities Fair, which we tabled at back in June! www.vox.com/the-highligh...

To make friends, join a club. To join a club, find an activity fair.

These citywide events are a low-stakes way to meet people and combat loneliness.

Always a bummer when @wednightrides.org is rained out, but it was a good call on weather. I watched The Wild Robot with my family instead. Then after the storm, I went out and retraced the first WNR. Photos: start at Loco Pez, finish at Love City

TONIGHT'S RIDE IS CANCELED Sadly, due to today's forecast for thunderstorms and heavy rain between 6-8p, this ride is CANCELED. Our next ride will be on June 24. See you soon!

Today's the *actual* 5th birthday of WNR. Hard to believe! Join us tomorrow to kick off the next five!

Wednesday Night Rides@wednightrides.org · last yr.

Four years ago today, Denis & Tim & Mike & Stefan & Janneken went on a bike ride, the first WNR. A lot's changed but WNR is still mainly about the same thing: going for a bike ride with friends. And trying to stay dry! We meant to go to Parks on Tap that night, ended up at Love City bc of T-storms

Flashback to perhaps the first time we rode FDR Park, in April 2022! Come join us tomorrow to celebrate 5 years of rolling collective conviviality

Wednesday Night Rides@wednightrides.org · 4y ago

Perfect vibes as we rolled into FDR Park, from the gate to the Boathouse. Check out @Gene_PHL's pretty lights and @chuembucket's no-hands skillz

The archivists and nostalgists among you may be pleased to learn I've recently used the Chrome extension "Porto" to migrate all* of the WNR tweets from the website fka Twitter, where the ride started, to Bluesky For example, here's the very first tweet from the @wednightrides handle! 🧵

Wednesday Night Rides@wednightrides.org · 5y ago

New handle alert! Wednesday Night Rides are social bike rides in Philly, every two weeks. Follow for details!

Three years ago, @peterskim.org led a WNR called "Streets Wide Enough for a Bike Lane" that included this precise stretch of 3rd Street... and now it's a bike lane! Huzzah, huzzah! Thanks to everyone who made this improvement reality.

Stefan Zajic@zajic.com · 2mo ago

I deeply enjoyed riding the 3rd St bike lane this morning. Freshly striped from South to Market, with flexposts for the first half. Paint ain't protection, but it's a big step forward. Thanks to all those who advocated for this including @bikeaction.org @5thsqadvocacy.org @bcgp.bsky.social

Here's the route for that ride. Now let's get a bike lane in the rest of them! Thanks @bikeaction.org @5thsqadvocacy.org @bcgp.bsky.social for the amazing advocacy effort! ridewithgps.com/routes/41869...
