The Cherry Tree Music Co-op is closing its doors after 28 years of

years, the Co-op has hosted
Hassling? They were handing out citations (for $25 I think) if you were
caught riding on the sidewalk.
This is happening on the 36-37th block of walnut, by all the protected
stores that Penn values so much.
They need paths to go east on walnut for bikes.

I agree. As a biker I find it very dangerous when the bike lanes are used
as loading zones. Its not easy to have swerve around cars parked especially
where there are trolley tracks. One wrong turn and your wheel is stuck in
the trolley track and you're down. Also I don't understand why at the

I agree with John. And we both agree with what the law says.

business district unless permitted by official traffic-control devices, nor when a

Simple answer -- PennDot ran out of drugs.

This is a moderately interesting discussion. As someone who does not own a
car and rides a bike for transportation, here are my thoughts:
A. If Penn is threatening to break locks and confiscate bikes (i.e. steal
them), this practice should be stopped. So long as bikes are not blocking

I bike everyday. I agree with John that Bikes should stick to the street.
SideWALKS are for walking and not for biking. Bike lanes are for biking and
not for parking or driving in!!! That's the problem. Why have the bike
lanes if they're just going to be used as parking lanes. I don't

Ridiculous is making generalizations about drivers and any other 'group'

But John, let's keep the kids out of the streets; I work at Children's Hospital and see enough of the results of kids riding in the streets before they have the skills to do so.
David, who in their right mind would suggest that children bike in the streets?

I need to buy 1-2 dozen bagels tomorrow (Thursday) a.m. before 7:30 a.m. Any
suggestions on where? (I don't know if Koch's sells them, but they're not

Chestnut doesn't have a bike lane until you get down by Penn.In the morning rush hour it can get pretty hairy when folks park on the south side of the street between 38th and 46th, even if they aren't supposed to before 9:30. It seems like a perfectly reasonable solution to jump on a wide sidewalk
