Calling Bike Rental Operators: Fairmount Park Seeks You!

Philadelphia's Park and Recreation Department has issued a bid package for a bicycle rental program in the Park.  They are seeking letters of interest from experienced bicycle operators by November 1st.  The package includes a letter from Fairmount Park System Executive Director Mark Focht describing what the Department is looking for, a map of possible bike rental locations and bicycle/pedestrian traffic data at three Park locations.

Bike Rentals in and near Philadelphia

Are you thinking about participating in Bike Philly (September 12th), but worried your old junker might not make it? Do you want to upgrade to a new ride but you insist on a test ride? Are friends in town and you’d like them to travel in style? Want to tour Philadelphia or the Schuylkill River Trail by bicycle?

Rent a bike! We’ve scoured the region and found these dealers who would be more than happy to set you up for as low as $20 a day. Be sure to book your wheels pronto – they are sure to sell out in advance of the big tours (MS150, Bike Philly and PNBR).
