The City of Philadelphia is developing a city-wide network of ``bike friendly" streets to serve bicyclists as part of a
comprehensive programwhich gives full recognition to the bicycle as a viable mode of transportation. One mechanism for achieving this is through our $3.7 million, federally funded, Bicycle Network Plan.
Philadelphia is committed to the promotion of bicycle use in the city. Beginning with the establishment of the Mayor's Task Force on
Bicycle Safety in 1993, through the annual city employees' Bike-to-Work Day, improvements to the Schuylkill River bike paths, and links to the Valley Forge Bikeway, the establishment of the Bicycle
Network Plan will add a new dimension to Philadelphia's transportation system.
