The
Bicycle Coalition’s Better Bike Share team is feeling energized by the new year
and ready to get back on the streets of Philly! Here are the top three things
each member of the team is looking forward to. Have any event and partnership ideas? Send them our way! 

Katie:

Our Ambassador program! Stay
tuned for opportunities to get involved to help spread the word about Indego.
I’m excited to continue working with folks on the ground and incorporating
their perspectives into Indego’s success. 

Themed rides! I had so much fun
on our Polar Express Ride to Project HOME in December… I’m excited to see what
other partners we can support and highlight using the Indego bikes to bring
people together. 

Networking with other cities.
Constant dialogue with peer cities who are thinking about equity, diversity,
and inclusion in bike share keeps our gears turning and helps us continually
improve our work. The Indego team visited Bed Stuy Restoration Corporation in
NYC to learn about their partnership with Citibike – inspiring! 

Azephra:

Classes! I’m really looking
forward to our monthly Learn To Ride series and getting more people comfortable
with riding a bike in the city. 

New Friends and Partners:
Building networks in new communities with the expansion of Indego stations.

Rides! Rides are the most fun and
the best way to connect with people. Having a regularly scheduled ride will
make it easier for community members to join us.

Pati:

Education! I’m super excited to lead regular Spanish
Language
Bike Safety/Urban Riding Basics classes with Puentes de Salud as a guest
presenter in their Charlas program! Puentes is a great organization promoting
the health and wellness of South Philly’s Latino immigrant community.

Education, again! I’m also looking forward to the monthly Urban Riding
Basics classes we will be teaching starting in March! They will be free and
open to the public. Stay tuned for further information. 😉

Warmer weather and the many, many group rides that will come with it! 

The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia does outreach and education on behalf of Indego, a City of Philadelphia program. This work is made possible by the Better Bike Share  Partnership, an initiative funded by the JPB Foundation, which seeks to create a socially  equitable and replicable bike share model for Philadelphia and beyond.
