Thank you to everyone who participated in Bike to Breakfast! You braved the rainy weather to commit to sustainable travel, and we couldn't be more pleased with the number of bikers who came out.

Thanks to all who came out to Bike Temple's tent during Campus Sustainability Day. Many of you decorated a bike (given to Neighborhood Bike Works), participated in the raffle for a new helmet, and enjoyed the bike tube ring toss around our Bike Messenger Jonathan. Fun had by all! Stay tuned for some pictures coming soon.

Experiencing my first bike wipeout (no worries, it was very minor) and just being plum out of luck with no bandages in my bag, I decided it might be a good idea to post on the Bike Temple website some suggestions about what to carry in your biking bag, in case of emergency. The article below, written by Jane at Cycling Sisters gives a great list of items you may want to think about carrying with you on a ride.

That is equivalent to 7,314,800 calories burned and a reduction of 146,296 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

When interviewing Temple medical residency candidates, one of the first questions that Deputy Program Director Sue Gersh asks is, "Are you a cyclist?"

The way they answer doesn’t sway her decision, but the question does offer future internal medicine doctors insight into the culture of the Temple department. More than half the doctors in the General Internal Medicine division are cyclists; those who don't bike are avid exercisers.

Learn how to properly fit equipment, the laws cyclist need to abide by, and much more. Each attendee will receive a biodegrable Bike Temple water bottle to help you stay hydrated on those long commutes.

600 cyclists pulled over since start of crackdown

Cyclists Justin Murphy and Greg Johnson, both 24, openly admit that they regularly break traffic laws while biking in the city.

"I never obey a single law," Murphy said flippantly, balancing his black Schwinn fixed-gear near 16th and Walnut streets. "I'm not worried."

Maybe he should be.

As bike lanes spread around Center City, the Give Respect, Get Respect campaign aimed at promoting and enforcing the peaceful coexistence of motorists, cyclists and pedestrians has started cracking down on rogue bikers.
