At the end of a week that saw a cyclist killed in a hit-and-run crash in West Fairmount Park, hundreds of cyclists gathered outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art on Friday evening to push for progress on the project to increase safety along Pine and Spruce streets, then rode to City Hall.

The protest ride was organized by advocacy group Philly Bike Action , and comes after a leaked internal memo from the city recommended adding speed bumps and concrete obstacle-separated bike lanes in limited sections of the Pine-Spruce corridor. The city formed a working group to address bike safety along the corridor after CHOP physician Barbara Friedes was killed by a drunken driver last summer.

Calling for “CONCRETE NOW, EVERY BLOCK,” group leaders said they were concerned and frustrated.
