Eakins Oval, How Do I Bike Thee? Let Me Count The Ways

November 1, 2019/1 Comment/by Karen Karabell

New Video Just in Time for Philly’s Bike Expo

CyclingSavvy Instructor John Allen has just released an outstanding video describing many ways to bike through Philadelphia’s intimidating Eakins Oval without breaking a sweat.

Savvy Cycling in Philadelphia

John will premiere “Riding the Eakins Oval” to a live audience at this weekend’s Philly Bike Expo. He and CyclingSavvy Instructor Pamela Murray are leading a one-hour seminar, Bicycling In Traffic Is A Dance You Lead, at 10:30 AM Saturday, Nov. 2.

At 3 PM Sunday, Nov. 3, Pam will give a seminar on How to Create a Biking Revolution. If you’re at the Expo, go. Pam is a charismatic dynamo, and walks the talk.

Here’s a link to the weekend’s complete seminar schedule.

Don’t forget to visit the CyclingSavvy/Coalition for Appropriate Transportation booth (number 2009) at the Expo. At the booth, you’ll be able to “drive” an HPV through a busy intersection and see how to avoid the hazards (yes, it’s 100 percent safe).

Street Smarts, Autographed

The recently published Bicycling Street Smarts, CyclingSavvy Edition will be available at the CyclingSavvy/CAT booth. Yes, autographed by the author!  At booth 2009!

One of the Nation’s Best

The Philly Bike Expo is celebrating its 10th year. This remarkable bicycling event brings together under one enormous roof outstanding vendors from throughout the country, including dealers, distributors, advocacy organizations, and specialty frame makers.

If you can go, don’t miss it! I wish I could be there. Sadly I must settle for a cameo appearance in John’s video ;-)

    Nicely done, John, Karen and Harold!

    Here is a Ride with GPS of the 360 tour of Eakins Oval with added voice directions for the desired lanes and lane changes.

    I’d be interested in finding out if anyone finds that useful for this exciting CyclingSavvy circumnavigation.
