More ammo for the bike lanes: Use has escalated up 127% on Spruce Street, and 130% on Pine Street since 2006. Instances of sidewalk riding have plummeted to 7% from 24% in 2006. Bike rates have also decreased 25% on Broad St (probably using the fancy striped 13th street lanes) in the last year.
Philly bikers, keep on biking. Don’t think those SUV’s have more of a right to be on the road than you do.
