Last night's ride was extremely cool. The rain stopped! We had, I don't know, I didn't count, maybe 70? excellent humans who rode a very cool vinyl-adjacent route before ending at a record lounge in Old City. A++, would ride again

Did you know this exists in Philly? We used this new light sculpture as a regrouping spot on tonight’s @wednightrides.org.

Come out and ride tonight on this fun route that I developed that highlights Philly record shops and bars that spin vinyl! Looks like the rain is going to hold off too. Bring a Bluetooth speaker and play your favorite music!

TONIGHT! Record Store Ride: a celebration of vinyl! Philly's a great city for vinyl w/ shops & bars spinning records. Our route passes 14 of them (marked on the route) was developed by WNR organizer Peter K, & will be led by WNR organizer Jo N. wednightrides.org/posts/2025/0...

Always love to spot a WNR bike in the wild. (The spoke cards were limited edition but another batch is in the works; Stefan & Peter usually have stickers) At Berks & Front

WNR is now listed on Join Philly! It’s a new guide to Philly’s clubs and communities. Find your people at joinphilly.com #JoinPhilly #SocialInfrastructure #CivicGlue

First ever ride with a DJ

Last night at @wednightrides.org, Denis told me about Join Philly, a new project to create "a platform for the people, clubs, and culture creating the civic glue of Philadelphia". It's really cool. If you're looking to try something new or find your people, check it out: www.joinphilly.com/clubs

Dan handed out all 130 spoke cards! We'll have more at future rides

Here's a much better photo of the big group at the midpoint by Alec

Better photos by Daniel and Karen showing the density of the crowd at the start And yes that's @ruephilacouncil.bsky.social speaking - hope you had a great first WNR, CM!

Tonight. The weather couldn't be more perfect

On the occasion of our 100th ride, here's a playlist of "songs that are about Wednesday Night Rides, whether they know it or not" 🧵 open.spotify.com/playlist/2Xc...

To-morrow the bicycle races Through the suburbs on summer evenings. But to-day the struggle. - WH Auden, "Spain", 1937

Before you head off to do whatever you're doing for Labor Day weekend, mark your calendar for the 100th! Wednesday Night Rides next Wed Sep 3 💯🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚲

A weird anniversary: 4 years ago today, I started the WNR Twitter account, after which the rides grew dramatically (I think because an official account gave the impression of a larger organization, when really it was and still is just a relatively small group of people)

Before you head off to do whatever you're doing for Labor Day weekend, mark your calendar for the 100th! Wednesday Night Rides next Wed Sep 3 💯🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚲

As best as I can tell, there isn't yet a "Philly Cycling" feed or starter pack on Bluesky. I don't have the coding skillz to make a feed, but I made a starter pack: go.bsky.app/Jq4fb6v LMK what accounts should be added!

Concrete NOW Every Block Fri Sep 5, 6p, Art Museum Everyone in Philly who rides a bike, please join if you can

Test rode this dreamy route with Dan last night. A quirky corner of the city I'd never fully seen before. Afterwards had a couple of beers with Dan and Steph at a table outside along a cobblestone street. Perfect late summer evening

Sneak preview of the next ride on Sep 3. Village Arts, led by Dan. @hiddencityphila.bsky.social vibes, and the weather's looking very favorable - mark your calendar

Next ride? Number 100

The WNR Strava club keeps growing, over 200 now. We've talked about deleting it in the past, but people keep joining and it's a good alternative to Insta for ride photos/videos, plus you can see what other kinds of adventures folks get up to www.strava.com/clubs/wednig...

Someone posted on Strava that "the r in wnr stands for rain" and ugh, yah, we sure have been rained on this summer But still, shout out to the 50 or so cool people who still want to ride even when the sky's dropping water

Stateside was super cool and let us bring our bikes in the back

Ride bikes with your friends in the drizzle

We're down at Pier 68

The ride is on. The forecast for tonight has improved somewhat, there's a chance of a little drizzle

Let's get more folks talking about Philly bikes on bsky

8/20: Cruise the Delaware WNR regular Han leading his 2nd ride: from Penn Treaty Park down DRT to Pier 68, then back again, ending at Stateside Vodka. This is an easier ride, good for anyone especially beginners or new group riders. It's almost all on separated trail; only the last leg on streets.

Philly Naked Bike Ride is Saturday August 23 and i'm going to be out of town :( head out "bare-as-you-dare". location and time announced Friday afternoon sometime. philadelphianakedbikeride.wordpress.com
