The easiest solution is to hop on your bike and pedal your way to work. Biking to work is faster than driving, walking, or using public transit. We don't even need to mention the obvious health benefits of getting that half hour or so of exercise daily. According to the Bicycle Coalition, around 11,000 Philadelphians commute to work via bicycle each day, a number that makes us the city with the highest number of folks biking to work each day. And to help out those who decide to commute by bike during the SEPTA strike, the Bicycle Coalition will be setting up a "Bike the Strike" stand at Dilworth Plaza starting this afternoon and every day until the strike is over. The stand will have bike racks, free bike maps, and free coffee. For those new to biking in the city, or for those with questions about route planning and safety, the Coalition's Bike Ambassadors will be available to give out advice.
