The time for our fall bike counts has arrived! For the past 10 years, we have conducted yearly counts at a variety of intersections and bridges around Philadelphia. The data collected at those spots around the city allows us to better understand where and how Philadelphia rides bicycles.
This year’s counts are unique as they will be the first year that we’ll be tallying Indego bikes.
We need your help. We cannot fill the 72 time slots needed by ourselves. We are looking for volunteers interested in helping us with this process between September 21 and October 30. This is one of our most popular volunteer activities, as it’s easy and directly contributes to our advocacy work and a better understanding of our city!
- On weekday mornings and evenings

To sign up, first fill out this form and then follow the instructions for obtaining the bike count directions and tally sheet.
Questions? Send them to bikecounts@bicyclecoalition.org or 215-242-9253 x302.
I can help a time or 2 the last half of Oct. on the evening shift.
I assume there’s a choice of locations, so there’s one I can get to easily.
