TONIGHT / Christmas Tree Quest
It's peak holiday & we somehow forgot something important! Join our quest to find a last-minute tree, fingers crossed they're not all gone! Jo N. + Gabriel R. lead our ride thru lots S Philly to Fishtown via Northern Liberties (featuring a very special surprise).

Wednesdays forever! A decade ago I did an essay series called "A Year of Wednesdays" and I've been stuck on Wednesdays ever since.
Also I do like bikes, and if I lived in Philly (I was born there & sometimes wish I'd moved back), I would 100% come on a ride

"There are a lot of Wednesdays! They come around much more quickly than you'd imagine! Sometimes it feels like there are more Wednesdays than any other days!"

I’d probably estimate 200-300! It was so cool marshaling an intersection and the stream of people on bikes just going on for what seemed like forever. 🥰
Rain and cold can’t stop Philly from celebrating the holidays on bike! 🎄🎄🎄🚴🚴♀️🚴♂️

I'm an optimist, but I was still astonished how many people turned up for the Holiday Lights Ride last night. It rained for the four hours before the ride! Yet I'd guess around 200 people, maybe more, came out to roll through the illuminated streets of South Philly. Just wild.

It really was magical to see so many festive folks out on a dreary, wet night.
The looks of joy from kids in their doorways was well worth the braving the weather.

Personal aside: on the way to the ride, I dropped off the last two sets of party lights from this year's bulk order. 54 sets (108 wheels' worth!) of party lights have been delivered!

Tonight! The ride's on, despite the slightly sketchy forecast. Bedeck yourself and come roll through illuminated South Philly
More details TK, but next week's ride will be our *5th* year partnering with @bcgp.bsky.social on their long-running Holiday Lights Ride. Still a joy to be part of such a fab ride! (and cool to see regular Mary featured in the photo this year). Register: give.bicyclecoalition.org/event/holida...

It was a bit drizzly for 26 November’s @wednightrides.org, and the night before a travel holiday, but a pretty good turnout despite that.
