This trail goes north and south the span of the city -- it is a very long and wonderful biking and walking trail along the Schuykill River we would recommend taking up on a beautiful day. You come across popular sights such as Art Museum & Boat House Row. Map Marker is not important here -- you can go up or down, along the river. We recommend starting north by Art Museum or even further North by Fairmont Park / Zoo and finishing down south by Fitler Square, and then cutting through the city to Rittenhouse Square.

The nearest Indego Bike Rental Station. $10 per bike for 24 hours! Just swipe your credit card for unlimited 30 minute rides. Get the app or go on the website to find an extensive map of bike stations that covers all of Philadelphia.
Drivers are pretty considerate here. However you should always be safe, ride on the same side as vehicle traffic, map your journey ahead on small side streets, and use a helmet (police don't check but it is much safer when you do so) https://www.rideindego.com/how-it-works/
