Steven, you parked at the tennis courts?

When I have driven with my kid, we parked north of Center City and took a ride down the Schuykill River path to the Expo. We parked here and rode down the hill to the riverside path. Nice ride along the river, past the Art Museum and then up Benjamin Franklin to the Expo. Bonus points if you have a kid in tow because you pass the Franklin Institute kids science museum, which you can visit once they get bored with the Expo. That and Reading Terminal for lunch.
This year my plan is to visit the Barnes Museum after several hours at the Expo.
I'm really interested in attending this year and thinking about bringing my Platypus down from NYC. Has anyone brought their long wheelbase Riv on NJ Transit > SEPTA?

Oh, I think that’s right! I was new to the Rivendell scene then and it was a first meeting everybody there. It was a beautiful ride, but I was dying on the hills since there’s basically none here.

Hi Roberta, Thanks for the info! I think i first met you at the 25th anniversary ride at Miniwaska , i look forward to seeing you in Philly My first post disappeared so hopefully you don’t have to see two of these.
I look forward to meeting you after following you on Instagram for years
There is a wonderful and free bike valet service run by a local nonprofit community bike center. We get a ticket that we need to claim our bike and I feel very secure locking my bike there. On the city streets, I do a dual lock up – – heavy duty U lock for frame and back wheel to immovable object, and a U lock between front wheel and frame to protect my Dyno wheel. However, do what makes you comfortable. Philadelphia is flat so a single speed will work just fine.
If you’re coming down on the PA side on I-95, you might consider a stop at Washington’s Crossing State Park to ride the tow path. It’s my favorite ride in the region.

I am attending this year, never been so I am looking forward to it. Not sure if I will bring my Riv…probably a single speed beater so I can lock up without worry…but maybe.
Anyone else thinking about going this year?
