TD Bank is a very large and wealthy corporation, collaborating with our local Bicycle Coalition to put on an event that seems to resemble Critical Mass in some of its rhetoric. A friend of mine forwarded this message from them.
It seems a lot like Critical Mass except
1) They probably got permission from the government and it looks like they'll be shutting down a bunch of streets for the event
2) you pay $45 or more per adult participant
What do you get for your $45? Water, snacks, access to toilets, and a "free" t-shirt!
Dear Amy,
Due to technical problems with our webpage, you may have had problems registering for TD Bank Bike Philly. To make sure no one misses out on the free t-shirt, we are extending our pre-registration deadline so take four minutes to register now!
Would you like to bike through the heart of Philadelphia surrounded by bicyclists instead of cars? Are you curious about what a bicycle traffic jam of thousands of bikes feels like? Find out by riding the certified car-free TD Bank Bike Philly on September 13.
Check out the four ride options that range from laid-back family-friendly routes on car-free streets to a challenging 50-mile option on shared roads.
Your registration supports the Bicycle Coalition's work to make your ride better better in Southeastern Pennsylvania, South Jersey and Delaware. Thank you for helping to make bicycling better!
Happy (Certified Car-Free) Bicycling!
Maria Dziembowska, Events Director
PS If you already registered for TD Bank Bike Philly, thank you! Would you tell a friend about riding certified car-free?
