What is a good 1-2hour philly ride? I was down yesterday and I spent most of my time in CC and South Philly. I really want to get out and see other areas.

Depends on what you're looking for. I like the ride out to west philly via the southstreet bridge for the tiny hills and the cool neighborhood (once you pass UCity) but also, you could ride out the the art museum and follow the kelly drive loop which is flat and scenic.

idk just some ideas. There are also some really cool spots up north in Fishtown and stuff (graveyards, etc.)

This is from an email I was forwarded. Watch out for these dudes:

"Hello everyone:
I had two bikes stolen tonight from the Keswick Cycle Glenside, Pa store. I am offering a $1000 reward per bike. I want the bikes back but I also want the individuals responsible for it to be arrested. The first bike was a Specialized Tarmac S-works 56cm with Dura ace. It had a white saddle and white handle bar tape. The second was a Pinarello f4:13 in a 55cm. It was carbon with red and white decals. Both bike would really stand out with whom ever was riding them.I am very upset and want to get the word out. The two guys who stole the bikes have the following descriptions. First guy around 5,10" to 6 foot. Caucasian with blond hair and was thin but athletic. He was definitely either a rower, runner or cyclist. He was wearing pearl izumi bike shorts a black sweatshirt and a baseball cap. He was in his late teens or early twenties. He claimed to be a Penn student who was graduating and was check out bikes for a graduation present. He was also seen in Bicycle Therapy on south street recently trying to test ride bikes late last week. He also claimed to be a penn student there as well.
Second guy was a bit shorter, caucasian but had a very similar build. They both look like rowers, runners or cyclist. They were both very fit and knew bikes. They second one had brown hair and kind of looked like he had dreadlocks a little bit. His hair was definitely long than the taller kid. He wore glasses. He was wearing pearl izumi shorts, a navy sweat shirt and a blue Nike hat.
The taller one used the name Michael Singelton or Michael Singeltary.
I definitely think they were local, probably in college and athletes of some sort. Please keep your eyes out in the up coming weeks for these bike. They will definitely stand out!
Please pass this out anyone you know.
Remember a $1000 reward per bike as long as it leads to an arrest of the individuals who stole the bikes.
thanks for your help

who needs ULock justice when we can just chop them in half with our bikes, as per my friend LuLu's dream (she actually emailed me this today)

"I had a dream last night that I was meeting you at that boy Luke's
house which in my dream was on way North 2nd street. As I arrived at
the corner where his house supposedly was I got jumped by two guys and
you saved me by hitting them with your bike. Not like you rode into
them-hitting them. Like holding your bike in your hands and hitting
them with it like you were chopping them in half with a sword. It was
amazing."


we were going to Luke's no less! must have been to recover the stolen bikes. how prophetc.
