INSPIRED BY VENICE--found in Philadelphia,
at the BRIDGE + TUNNEL BIKE RIDE
Join us on Sunday, 14 October, for this easy-paced 12-mile look at the structures and excavations that take us over and under rivers, expressways, trolley lines and more.
A DesignPhiladelphia Event.
We will dive into the city's longest underground street, portage up and down steps, and ring our bells in dark, echoing, sometimes creepy tunnels.
MEETS at noon, 30th Street Station, 30th and Market Sts., south side. Starts promptly at 12:15. We'll stop for a snack, and have beers after at Bridgewater's Pub back at the station.
BRING: Your bike with sturdy tires, spare tube (even if you don't know how to change a flat--we will have a mechanic along), lights, helmet, camera, and bike bell. Come early to buy a bell and we'll put it on for you.
This ride is suitable for BROMPTON folder bikes.
Ride fee $5 ; RSVPs and questions -- please email info@trophybikes.com
with BRIDGE + TUNNEL in the subject line.
GOOD NEWS: You can make it harder for bike thieves, as a graduate of Trophy Bikes' new THEFTPROOF YOUR BIKE class.

GETTING SPONSORSHIP FROM TROPHY BIKES...
Some tips -- ask early. We like to get on board in time to get ye olde Trophy logo on programs, posters and t-shirts,--so as to selfishly swing as much PR out of our sponsorship as possible!
Come up with some numbers--tell us how many people are coming to your event, how long it lasts, when it started etc.
We generally DO NOT sponsor cross-country charity rides, as there are too many of them and we feel they are not that cost-effective.
We dig sponsoring bike events, especially if they can use non-cash help (see above about our non-trillionaire status). We can provide skilled staff, portable sound systems, writing and PR, and various other things. Writing checks is a bit... suburban-- we prefer helping out in a more personal matter whenever possible.
