Biking to the Farm
Tuesday, June 15, 2010
What do you get when you combine the riders of the bicycle coalition
With energy of urban farming in Philadelphia
You help a few really great farmer’s buy one of these
The trailer was purchased from the proceeds of a ride sponsored by the Bicycle Coalition and Philadelphia Green’s City Harvest Program. The farms in the picture represent Our Front Yard Garden on Front and Fairmount and Emerald St. Garden in Kensington. The trailers will help them get their locally grown produce into the neighborhoods they serve in a more environmentally conscious and sustainable way.
If you’re looking for a great ride this weekend, check out the Bicycle Coalition’s Freedom Valley Ride on June 20th. Registrations starts at 6:30 AM at the beginning of Boathouse Row. The ride can be as easy as a loop on Kelly Drive to a trek to Valley Forge. The ride starts at 7:45 AM. Have fun.
