Philly Bike Ride 2025
Philly Bike Ride is thrilled to announce the return of its annual event on Saturday, October 18, 2025, starting at 7:30 a.m.
Philly Bike Ride offers the ultimate “Cruise At Your Own Pace” experience, a 20-mile, car-free ride that invites participants of all ages and abilities to pedal through the heart of the city. Whether you’re a first-time rider, casual cruiser, or avid cyclist, this ride offers a fun, welcoming, and scenic way to explore the city’s most iconic landmarks including Independence Hall, City Hall, LOVE Park, Chinatown, Penn’s Landing, and Boathouse Row, in a completely car-free environment.
Participants can choose between the full 20-mile route or a shorter 7.6-mile course, both culminating near the iconic Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Rocky Steps, where a Finish Festival awaits. This Finish Festival includes live music, a beverage garden, food trucks, wellness activities in the Independence Blue Cross (IBX) “Well-Being Zone,” and family-friendly fun for all.
