I was in Philly a couple of month's ago for my wife's former boss' 50th birthday bash. We stayed in Center City, and I was totally blown away by what a bike-friendly town it was.  Happily, we brought bikes with us, and had a ball exploring the place on them.  I considered a visit to VIA a must, and Curtis and Joel were gracious hosts, despite being very busy with their clientele.  I was also luckily advised of the Moore exhibit by Gabriel Romeu. 

Not only is Philly a great bike city, but also a great art city.  I hope to go back there in the not-to-distant future...never made it to the art museum, and many other places of interest.

Pics of trip can be seen on my Flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/oldbike531/sets/ check out Magic Garden (lots of wheels from Via used in it's creation), and the Mural tour.

A lot to Love, Brothers(and Sisters)
