• The folks over at the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia have created an interesting map that highlights bike-lane deserts, areas of the city that offer no viable transportation infrastructure — i.e. not even any standard bike lanes — for people who’d like to get around on two wheels. Spoiler alert: Center City fares alright, but large portions of North Philly and South Philly, along with swaths of cyclist-heavy areas like Fishtown are considered bike-lane deserts per the map.
