Who are we?

The Bicycle Ambassadors are a team of adult safety educators working to make bicycling better in the City of Philadelphia.  The Bicycle Ambassadors are an education and outreach program of The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia sponsored by The City of Philadelphia, University City District and Fairmount Park.  Ambassadors work in teams and travel to each event by bicycle (many times with trailers full of information in tow).  Our full time Bicycle Ambassadors work from May through September.

What do we do?

Bicycle Ambassadors encourage adult bicyclists to ride more often and ride more safely as well as educate motorists on the rules of the road and provide tips for sharing the road. Ambassadors attend community events as well as create our own events to teach bike safety, sharing the road, bike lane and bike path etiquette and how to bike to work and school. Our message is conveyed through face-to-face interaction allowing for an organic conversation targeting the specific interests, questions and needs of each individual.  We work in the neighborhoods of Center City, University City and Fairmount Park.
