I'm going to #philadelphia for work next week, as long as the city survives Sunday.

Last time I was there, I brought my #bike, searched for great #sandwiches, and wrote a piece about it.

Might try #bikeshare this time. Where should I eat?

How Philly Became the Best Sandwich City in America: A Pandemic Bike Tourism Exploration

Why do a Philly sandwich tour by bike? Philly doesnโ€™t tolerate mediocrity, fosters hoagie experimentation, and is mostly bike-friendly!

@rbellinger I'm visiting #philadelphia for the first time next week (vacation from Europe) and these food ideas are really helpful ๐Ÿ˜€ I assume it's possible to get around via public transport rather than bike? Not sure bikes and jetlag would be a good combination ๐Ÿ˜‰
@Buxton_Vienna @rbellinger You can easily get around downtown #philly using SEPTA https://www5.septa.org/ You can bike, but remember, it's the middle of February and the weather can be very erratic. It looks to be in the 50-60 F range, but it changes very quickly. If you are going to be traveling outside of downtown, then both SEPTA and biking are much less useful.

Do you mean that bikeshare is less useful outside of center city? I only have the 3-day trip described above as evidence, but I found that having my own bike was incredibly fast for getting to places farther afield.

@rbellinger @Buxton_Vienna I'm not that familiar with the bikeshare program. I'm not sure if they will let you ride out into the suburbs and then return the bike 1-2 days later. I'm sure the actual riding can be done, but I wouldn't describe Philly as a very bike friendly area. The practicality of this idea is going to depend very heavily on exactly where you want to go.
