    • 34th and Chestnut Streets (in the outdoor parking lot on the northeast corner of the intersection)
    • 34th Street between Walnut and Spruce Streets (by the Chemistry Building’s bike racks)

  • Bike Sharing Stations - The Penn Community can take advantage of the City of Philadelphia's integrated bike share system, Indego.  This program features over 600 self-service bicycles and 70 bike share stations throughout Philadelphia.  Three stations are located on campus: at 40th and Spruce, near the University City Station Regional Rail Station, and 36th and Sansom. For more information about Indego, station locations throughout the City, membership registration, or a map of the city-wide docking stations, visit Philadelphia's bike share program website at www.RideIndego.com.
  • Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia - The Bicycle Coalition provides important information and resources for Philadelphia bicyclists which includes lists of bike shop locations and bike clubs and teams; maps of bike lanes, paths, and trails; and tips on commuting with your bike on SEPTA, bike laws and symbols, locking and theft, and what to do if you are involved in a crash.
