Video: Share the Ride 2014 - Welcome to Philadelphia

The City of Brotherly Love is America's 5th most populous and one where much of its youth have an enormous amount of obstacles to deal with on a daily basis. One thing that always helps to make the world, and certainly Philadelphia a better place is the bicycle. Through Pinkbike's Share the Ride program, we were able to facilitate an event in which 15 children were able to get properly set up with some great bikes from Fuji and SE, helmets from Kali Protectives and locks from ABUS! All of this was done via the generosity of the Pinkbike community and your shared desire to show kids how great the world can be when experienced on two wheels. The already vibrant cycling community of Philadelphia just welcomed a group of 7-12 year old kids and their families into the fold. With the Philly Pumptrack nearby, the Schuykill River Trail and a growing number of singletrack trails within the city limits, these kids are not only getting the opportunity to develop a healthy lifestyle, but also the chance to see the many ways in which bikes can be enjoyed.





















Pinkbike would like to thank the following companies and volunteers for devoting so much of their time and resources to making this event such a success: Advanced Sports International (Fuji and SE Bikes), Kali Protectives, Abus Locks, Community Bikes and Boards, The Philadelphia Pumptrack, Philadelphia Parks and Recreation, Kind Snacks, The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia, QJ Media, Jason Beckley, Rob and Lauren Everitt (Mr. & Mrs. Claus), Heidi Grunwald, Lorna Jackson, Juliet Jacobs, Quinton Johnson, Dana Mensah, Carolyn Mulally, Kaitlyn Phillips and Kenn Rymdeko. An enormous thank-you goes out to Rachelle Frazer for coordinating Share the Ride globally!
