The Association for Public Art’s (aPA) “Museum Without Walls Public Art Bike Tours” are back! Register for a free public art bike tour that explores Philadelphia’s outdoor sculpture in Fairmount Park.
Working with the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia and Women Bike PHL, the aPA is offering two tours this spring: An open-to-all bike tour on Sunday, May 22nd (rescheduled to Sunday, June 26th, see below), and a special Women Bike PHL tour on Saturday, June 4th. Both rides begin at Iroquois Park at 24th and Pennsylvania Avenue near the Iroquois and Symbiosis sculptures, continue through Fairmount Park, and end at the front steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. These bike tours are free, but registration is required and space is limited.
Please bring a water bottle and helmet. If you do not bring your helmet, you will not be able to participate. These tours are recommended for urban cyclists with some experience riding on busy streets or in traffic. We will be traveling at a leisurely pace.
