Join us tomorrow night for Circuit Trails’ “Toast the Trails”, at 5:30pm Eastern, and the annual @wednightrides.org’s “Light Up Ride” (meet up 7pm, roll at 7:10pm)! www.eventbrite.com/e/toast-to-t...

I think this is our first brush with TikTok? www.tiktok.com/t/ZTM4eLWes/ featuring @chuembucket.bsky.social & (briefly) @zajic.com "after I had a few drinks, came upon a shit load of bikers what the hell"

Love to see our friends at Philly Bike Train featured in @momentummag.bsky.social! Bikes, friends, coffee - what could be better?

Last night on the ride, a guy in a tomato pie costume asked me which were the most successful and unsuccessful WNRs. I said something like, "I have no idea how to answer that question, every time we get a bunch of people together to ride bikes, it's a success"

It was a total joy to lead this ride in my D6 costume, which I made last year but didn't get to debut until last night. If there's anything I love more than people on bikes, it's people on bikes in costumes - it's such a fun mix of the practical, social, and absurd

Last night's Sixth Sense ride (2nd ed) was fab. The rain held off, and around 100 people came out, many in costume, for our tour of eight filming locations from the movie. Thanks to all who joined, and to the volunteer marshals who helped make the ride happen and kept us safe and on course!

A couple more, one pano!

Last night was the first night of October, and it felt like the first night of fall. We had, I'm not sure, maybe 70-80 people for this ride through the Riverwards? I didn't take any good pictures, but here's a nice one from @0x6772.bsky.social of us taking over Campbell Square (our midpoint)

Tonight! Join us at Borski Park for a Riverwards roll Beautifully cool autumn weather

This week: start @ new Borski Park (Bridesburg), ride Port Richmond Trail, regroup in Campbell Sq, wiggle along the DRT under I-95, then take (fresh repaved!) Huntingdon St to American St bikeway. End @ Wissahickon Brewing's new American & Oxford outpost

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

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!
