H H H H H H ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ Whether you are biking for transportation or recreation or both, the benefits are the same. Here are some of the health related reasons you should consider bicycling: Bicycling burns more calories (even at a low intensity) than walking. A 150 lb. person can burn anywhere from 100-500 calories in 30 minutes of bicycling (depending on how fast you go). Bicycling is low impact and easy on the joints like swimming, but much more convenient. Bicycling helps maintain leg mobility, muscular strength, and endurance. Bicycling builds heart and lung strength and endurance as well. Bicycling at a leisurely pace while taking in scenery can relieve stress and be good for your mental health. High intensity bicycling (think: up hills, rough terrain, or at a fast pace) also helps to reduce stress and counts as vigorous exercise- so the benefits are greater. Bicycling improves your chances of getting your daily dose of Vitamin D. Bicycling improves your coordination. Bicycling improves your immune function. If you consider how you spend a part of your financial health, you’ll save money commuting by bicycle over most other forms of transportation.

Here’s what we’ve got so far, and how to use it: Buffered Bike Lanes Buffered lanes feature a three-foot painted strip between a separated bicycle lane and a car lane. All users are expected to stay out of the buffer strip and remain in their own lane. Bike Lanes A conventional bike lane is distinguished from motor vehicular traffic by a single white line. Direction of travel is indicated by arrows marking the lane. Pedestrians and motor vehicles are not permitted to travel in the bike lane. Sharrows “Sharrows” (shared-use arrows) are a bicycle symbol paired with a double chevron. They indicate that motorists must share the road. Sharrows are placed in the middle of the roadway to minimize conflicts with parked car doors and other obstacles. Cyclists should ride directly over the sharrow and take the entire lane. Trail / Sidepath Trails and sidepaths are off-road facilities intended exclusively for bicyclists and pedestrians. The majority of trails and sidepaths accommodate both user groups, so cyclists should exercise caution and be alert for slower moving persons. Conflict Zones Conflict zones are marked with dashed green paint. They are intended to alert cyclists and motorists that they need to share the same space. Bike Box Bike boxes are spaces where cyclists are encouraged to pull out in front of cars so that they are more visible when lights change and vehicles turn. Bike boxes are sometimes painted with a green background. Other times, a standard bike symbol is placed on black pavement in front of a stop bar for cars. 2 Stage Left turns A two stage turn box offers cyclists a way to make a left turn at a multi-lane signalized intersection. To use the two stage turn box, proceed straight through the intersection with the green signal and wait in the box on the cross street. Proceed through the intersection when the cross street gets a green signal. Designated Bike Routes The East Coast Greenway is a 2,500 mile route linking cities from Maine to Florida. The goal is to develop an entirely off-road alignment for the ECG. Other designated bike routes include the Cobbs Creek Greenway and Bicyclists Baltimore Pike.

Safety Tips

Stay off Sidewalks

If you are over the age of 12, sidewalk riding is illegal and unsafe.

Yield to Pedestrians

Bicyclists and car drivers are required to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians at all intersections and marked crosswalks.

Ride with Traffic, Not Against It

When you ride the wrong way on the road you are three times as likely to get into a crash. Wrong way riding is illegal and unsafe.

Obey Traffic Signs and Signals

The same traffic rules that apply to automobiles hold true for cyclists. Bicycles and cars must come to a stop at stop signs and stoplights.

Ride Smart, Ride Predictably

Other road users need to know how you will move. Sudden changes of direction can cause a collision between a bicyclist and a car – the cyclist is always at most risk for injury.

Use Your Head, Wear a Helmet

Helmets can save your life and prevent serious brain trauma. Children under 12 must wear a helmet when riding, and adults are encouraged to do the same.

Be Seen, Be Safe

Visibility is the key to safety when riding at night. In Pennsylvania bikes are required to have working front and rear lights when riding at night..

Bikes on TransitSEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) is proud to be a bicycle friendly transit system and encourages bicyclists to use its services. Some limitations apply.

The full policy and all rules and regulations are available at:www.septa.org/policy/pdf/septa-bike-n-ride.pdf

System-wide

Folding bikes which are completely collapsed are allowed on any vehicle in the system at anytime.

Bus & Trackless Trolley

The front of every SEPTA bus and trackless trolley is equipped with a bicycle rack that can hold two bicycles. Bicycles are permitted at all times without restrictions.

Subway (Broad Street & Market-Frankford Lines)

Bicycles are allowed on all trains during off-peak hours, as well as weekends and holidays.

Trolley

Folding bicycles only. Bicycles must be completely collapsed.

Regional Rail

Two bicycles are allowed on each car of each train. Bicycles are prohibited on peak trains traveling into Center City in the mornings and leaving Center City in the evenings.

PATCO (Port Authority Transit Corporation)

Bicycles are allowed on board PATCO trains at all times.Information available at: www.ridepatco.org/travel/bicycles.html

Regular physical activity is an important part of a healthy lifestyle that can benefit mood, sleep, and lower stress. Adults should get at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity activity on 5 or more days per week, or a total of 150 minutes per week. Bicycling is an excellent way to fit those valuable minutes of activity into a busy schedule and improve health. Not only is it good for your health, but it’s really fun! Bicyclng gives you an opportunity to explore your neighborhood and Philadelphia’s many parks and trails- all while reducing your risk for high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity.

It doesn’t matter your age or physical condition, you can be active. You can walk, dance, skate, garden, bike or swim your way to a more active lifestyle. Find what else moves you at:

Rules of the Road

Bicycles are legal vehicles with the same rights and duties as a motor vehicle.

Pennsylvania state law bans bicycles from roads such as freeways and toll roads.

Vehicle operators must make sure it is safe to exit. They bear the legal responsibility in dooring incidents.

State law prohibits the use of headphones while riding a bicycle or driving a car.

Everyone has a responsibility to share the road. Areas marked with a ‘No Parking’ sign still allow temporary unloading for up to 15 minutes. Take care when passing parked vehicles.

In areas marked with ‘No Stopping’, vehicles may not stop for any length of time.

In Case of Theft or Crash

When you first get a bike:Write down the serial number of the bike and keep it in an easily accessible place.Take a few photos of the bike and anything unique about it. (stickers, fenders, etc.) Photos are important if you ever want to make an insurance claim.For bicycles valued over $500 check with your insurance company to see if you need an additional insurance rider.Register your bike with the Philadelphia Police Bicycle Registry.

If your bike is stolen:Call 911 and report the theft (provide your serial number). It is very important to report theft to the police - bike thefts are severely under-reported and calling them in raises the profile of bike thefts with the Police Department.Post a note on Craigslist with photos of your bike.Email local bike shops with photos and the serial number.

What to do after a bicycle crash:Call the police and file a report.There are a few things you need to know to protect your legal rights when involved in a bike crash. If you are in a crash with a car, do not leave the scene without recording:

tag number of the carnames and phone numbers of any witnessesdriver’s name and contact informationpolice officer’s name and badge number

If it is a hit and run, file a police report as soon as you are able.

Left Turn Stop Right Turn

Know The SignalsUse hand signals so that motorists and other bicyclists know where you are going. Signal all turns and stops ahead of time. Also before turning, look over your shoulder to check for any traffic.

Philadelphia's walkability and bikeability are incredible assets that contribute to a high quality of life, and make our city a highly desirable place to live and work. That’s why we are improving and expanding the infrastructure to support these activities in every neighborhood of our city. We are adding more Indego bikeshare stations and boosting the number of miles of safe bike lanes, so more people can comfortably choose biking as a way to explore.

Checking out the sights of the city, its places, people, and parks, while on bike, is truly a unique experience. You can often get to where you want to go faster, and when you get to your destination, hop off and walk around. I hope that this map helps you enjoy all that Philadelphia has to offer as you navigate through our ever-growing bicycle and trail networks.

Very truly yours,

James F. KenneyMayor
