Bicycling advocates push for better conditions on Philadelphia streets

Across the United States, cities are starting to pay more attention to alternative transportation and the needs of a growing number of people who use bicycles. In Chicago, Mayor Rahm Emanuel pledged to add 25 miles of protected bike lanes every year. New York city has installed 200 bike lane miles over the last three years and plans to add another 1,600 miles by 2030. And a growing number of cities, including New York, Chicago, Boston and Minneapolis have launched bike share programs. But added traffic, a lack of bike parking and other concerns remain a roadblock in some American cities. From Philadelphia, FSRN’s Matthew Petrillo reports.
