Buffered Bike Lanes (11.3 mi.) Buffered lanes feature a 3 foot painted strip between a separated bicycle lane and a car lane. All users are expected to stay out of the buffer strip and remain in their own lane. Bike Lanes (221.6 miles) The standard bike lane is 5 ft wide and distinguished from traffic by a single white line. Direction of travel is indicated by arrows marked in the lane. Pedestrians and motorists are not permitted to travel in the bike lane. Sharrows (6.1 miles) “Sharrows”, or shared-use arrows, are a bicycle symbol paired with a double chevron. They indicate that motorists must share the road. Sharrows are placed in the roadway to minimize conflicts with parked car doors and other obstacles. Cyclists should ride directly over the sharrow.

Trail / Sidepath Trails and sidepaths are off-road facilities intended exclusively for bicycles and pedestrians. The vast majority of trails and sidepaths accommodate both sets of users, so cyclists should exercise caution and be alert for slower moving persons. Connector Streets These are streets where none of the above facilities exist, but the street is an important connecting route for cyclists and/or is considered bicycle-friendly. These become necessary in places where gaps still exist between different parts of the bicycle network. Conflict Zones Conflict zones are marked with dashed green paint. They are intended to alert cyclists and motorists that they need to share the same space.

Bike Box Bike boxes are spaces where cyclists are encouraged to pull out in front of cars so that they are more visible when lights change and vehicles turn. Bike boxes are sometimes painted with a green background. Other times, a standard bike symbol is placed on black pavement in front of a stop bar for cars. Designated Bike Routes The East Coast Greenway is a 2500 mile route linking cities from Maine to Florida. The goal is to develop an entirely off-road alignment for the ECG. Other designated bike routes include the Cobbs Creek Greenway and Frankford Creek Greenway.

Bicycle Signage Philadelphia has a comprehensive wayfinding system that cyclists can use to determine direction and distance to key trails, parks, and other destinations. Signs show between 1 and 3 destinations and can differ in size. A white bicycle symbol clearly designates each sign. Other sign types include sidewalk decals, which remind cyclists to “walk your wheels” on sidewalks, and traffic signs that identify bike lanes and areas where users should expect to share the road. Bicycle Parking In the past 5 years the City has installed thousands of new bike parking spaces throughout Philadelphia. In addition to the Philly-standard “U-rack”, look for the secure green bicycle logos on posts in Center City and University City. New in 2012, there are bike corrals where bike parking is allowed in the street at locations in Center City, West Philly and Fishtown. Look for more to come in 2013.
Bike rack locations are mapped at opendataphilly.org

In Case of Theft or Accident
When you first get a bike: Write down the serial number of the bike and keep it in an easily accessible place. Take a few photos of the bike and anything unique about it. (stickers, fenders, etc.) Photos are important if you ever want to make an insurance claim. For bicycles valued over $500 check with your insurance company to see if you need an additional insurance rider. If your bike is stolen: Call 911 and report the theft (provide your serial number). It is very important to report theft to the police - bike thefts are severely under-reported and calling them in raises the profile of bike thefts with the Police Department. Log the theft on SeeClickFix Post a note on Craigslist with photos of your bike. Email local bike shops with photos and the serial number. What to do after a bicycle crash: Call the police and file a report. There are a few things you need to know to protect your legal rights when involved in a bike crash. If you are in a crash with a car, do not leave the scene without recording: a tag number of the car a names and phone numbers of any witnesses a driver’s name and contact information a police officer’s name and badge number If it is a hit and run, file a police report as soon as you are able.

When Philadelphians bike, the city benefits in many ways: we ease congestion, improve the quality of our air, and reduce greenhouse gases. When you bike, you improve your health through an active lifestyle, save money, and often get where you want to go faster. And getting around by bike is a fun way to take in the sights and sounds of our beautiful city. But it’s also important to reach the end of your ride safely and conveniently. That’s why the City of Philadelphia is proud of the Get Healthy Philly Initiative, which is helping create new bike lanes and routes for riders. We are tremendously proud of our achievements in promoting healthy and safe bicycling in Philly, and we look forward to further improvements as more and more Philadelphians choose to get around by bike.

Never leave your bike unlocked, even for a minute. Always use a high quality U-lock or chain. For more security use both. Choose solid metal bike racks or poles. The lock should always secure the bike frame to the secure object; wheels should be secured as well for maximum protection. Never lock to trees or wooden objects - they’re easily damaged and not secure. Avoid locking your bike outside over night. Find an indoor location for long term storage.

If you are over the age of 12, sidewalk riding is illegal and unsafe.

Buffered Bike Lanes (11.3 mi.) Buffered lanes feature a 3 foot painted strip between a separated bicycle lane and a car lane. All users are expected to stay out of the buffer strip and remain in their own lane. Bike Lanes (221.6 miles) The standard bike lane is 5 ft wide and distinguished from traffic by a single white line. Direction of travel is indicated by arrows marked in the lane. Pedestrians and motorists are not permitted to travel in the bike lane. Sharrows (6.1 miles) “Sharrows”, or shared-use arrows, are a bicycle symbol paired with a double chevron. They indicate that motorists must share the road. Sharrows are placed in the roadway to minimize conflicts with parked car doors and other obstacles. Cyclists should ride directly over the sharrow.

Trail / Sidepath Trails and sidepaths are off-road facilities intended exclusively for bicycles and pedestrians. The vast majority of trails and sidepaths accommodate both sets of users, so cyclists should exercise caution and be alert for slower moving persons. Connector Streets These are streets where none of the above facilities exist, but the street is an important connecting route for cyclists and/or is considered bicycle-friendly. These become necessary in places where gaps still exist between different parts of the bicycle network. Conflict Zones Conflict zones are marked with dashed green paint. They are intended to alert cyclists and motorists that they need to share the same space.

Bike Box Bike boxes are spaces where cyclists are encouraged to pull out in front of cars so that they are more visible when lights change and vehicles turn. Bike boxes are sometimes painted with a green background. Other times, a standard bike symbol is placed on black pavement in front of a stop bar for cars. Designated Bike Routes The East Coast Greenway is a 2500 mile route linking cities from Maine to Florida. The goal is to develop an entirely off-road alignment for the ECG. Other designated bike routes include the Cobbs Creek Greenway and Frankford Creek Greenway.

Bicycle Signage Philadelphia has a comprehensive wayfinding system that cyclists can use to determine direction and distance to key trails, parks, and other destinations. Signs show between 1 and 3 destinations and can differ in size. A white bicycle symbol clearly designates each sign. Other sign types include sidewalk decals, which remind cyclists to “walk your wheels” on sidewalks, and traffic signs that identify bike lanes and areas where users should expect to share the road. Bicycle Parking In the past 5 years the City has installed thousands of new bike parking spaces throughout Philadelphia. In addition to the Philly-standard “U-rack”, look for the secure green bicycle logos on posts in Center City and University City. New in 2012, there are bike corrals where bike parking is allowed in the street at locations in Center City, West Philly and Fishtown. Look for more to come in 2013.
Bike rack locations are mapped at opendataphilly.org

Other road users need to know how you will move. Sudden changes of direction can cause a collision between a bicyclist and a car – the cyclist is always the biggest loser.

In Case of Theft or Accident
When you first get a bike: Write down the serial number of the bike and keep it in an easily accessible place. Take a few photos of the bike and anything unique about it. (stickers, fenders, etc.) Photos are important if you ever want to make an insurance claim. For bicycles valued over $500 check with your insurance company to see if you need an additional insurance rider. If your bike is stolen: Call 911 and report the theft (provide your serial number). It is very important to report theft to the police - bike thefts are severely under-reported and calling them in raises the profile of bike thefts with the Police Department. Log the theft on SeeClickFix Post a note on Craigslist with photos of your bike. Email local bike shops with photos and the serial number. What to do after a bicycle crash: Call the police and file a report. There are a few things you need to know to protect your legal rights when involved in a bike crash. If you are in a crash with a car, do not leave the scene without recording: a tag number of the car a names and phone numbers of any witnesses a driver’s name and contact information a police officer’s name and badge number If it is a hit and run, file a police report as soon as you are able.

When Philadelphians bike, the city benefits in many ways: we ease congestion, improve the quality of our air, and reduce greenhouse gases. When you bike, you improve your health through an active lifestyle, save money, and often get where you want to go faster. And getting around by bike is a fun way to take in the sights and sounds of our beautiful city. But it’s also important to reach the end of your ride safely and conveniently. That’s why the City of Philadelphia is proud of the Get Healthy Philly Initiative, which is helping create new bike lanes and routes for riders. We are tremendously proud of our achievements in promoting healthy and safe bicycling in Philly, and we look forward to further improvements as more and more Philadelphians choose to get around by bike.

Never leave your bike unlocked, even for a minute. Always use a high quality U-lock or chain. For more security use both. Choose solid metal bike racks or poles. The lock should always secure the bike frame to the secure object; wheels should be secured as well for maximum protection. Never lock to trees or wooden objects - they’re easily damaged and not secure. Avoid locking your bike outside over night. Find an indoor location for long term storage.

If you are over the age of 12, sidewalk riding is illegal and unsafe.

Use hand signals so that motorists and other bicyclists know where you are going. Signal all turns and stops ahead of time. Also before turning, look over your shoulder to check for any traffic.
