Bike Lane Controversies, From City Hall to Pine & Spruce

00:00:00
View all City Cast Philly episodes

Bike lanes continue to be a point of controversy on our city streets. More bike lanes are popping up in our neighborhoods, but activists want a bigger citywide network for cyclists – and they want the bike lanes protected to help prevent more injuries and deaths. In the latest installment of our occasional series, “Whose Streets,” host Trenae Nuri gets the latest on biking in the city — from City Hall to Fairmount Park to the Pine/Spruce Street corridor — with Dave Talone, organizer with Philly Bike Action.

Have any experiences biking in the city or sharing the road with cyclists? Call or text us: 215-259-8170
