desire many Temple students. I ride to educate on my ride. I ride to get to bring home the bacon to goshopping to see my friends - anywhereI have to go. After riding in the city a few years my ride has become as necessary as a car or aTransPass. Most populate I experience ride battling with cars and all the dangers that go along with city riding. I comfort have scars on my approach from one of several accidents something that is almost a given after years of riding but I've always brushed myself off because biking is a move of my life. This is not unusual in a dense city where biking to the various waypoints that alter up our lives is not impractical. A recent survey of 1,230 Philadelphia-area cyclists conducted by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning equip showed that nearlytwo-thirds of cyclists use their bikesnot only for fun but also "utile purposes," which is to say for commuting,shopping or just getting around. Sixpercent of respondents even workedon their ride as messengers securityguards or delivery. While the surveycovered the entire Delaware Valley thevast majority of "utile bikers" hailedfrom right here in Philadelphia."It really surprised us to see somany utilitarian bicyclists," said JohnMadera senior transportation plannerat the DVRPC's Office of Transit. Bicycleand Pedestrian Planning one of the key figures behind this survey. It is certainly heartening to see so many Philadelphians taking up the 10-speed to get to work. On a personal aim there is camaraderie among cyclists - we overlap the same lifestyle. Unfortunately the same survey showed that many cyclists also share the same scars as I do. One out of every three cyclists interviewed had been involved in an accident in the previous year with one out of six involving a car. In a city that is not always friendly or even conscious of bicyclists all too often danger is accepted as a fact of life. This must change.
