2007 Riders Speak 

People who rode the first Commerce Bank Bike Philly had a great time. Ninety-seven percent ranked their ride as excellent or very good!

"I just wanted to say congratulations for such an amazing event yesterday. My friend and I took our children (ages 7-11) and everyone had a wonderful time. The route was great and truly a family friendly event. I was extremely impressed with how well run everything was. We are already looking forward to riding it next year and I have already shared it with several friends. Thanks for all the work that went into the day!"

-Cindy Limerick, PA

"In all the times I have traveled to Philadelphia, I have never imagined the possibility of riding along the city’s main thoroughfares upon a bicycle surrounded only by other cyclists… [I]t is difficult to picture a metropolis without the congestion, noise, and odor of masses of motor vehicles… Even though I live four hours from the city center,…there was simply no way I could pass up the opportunity to bicycle through such an historic city in such an unencumbered manner….

It truly felt as though the entire the entire city of Philadelphia was working to speed us safely along our route. You couldn’t ask for better support during an event of this size and nature. …I look forward to attending again next year!"

-Travis Pleasant Gap, PA

"I enjoyed biking through the city without traffic. It was a lot of fun and MUCH different than what I am used to. I also enjoyed Fairmount Park, it was a good 'intro' for me and I will definitely explore it on my own now."

-Amanda Philadelphia, PA
