New Indego bike-share station near 40th and Woodland.

Indego, Philadelphia’s bike share program, recently turned two years old and has just announced more docking stations around the city, including several in West Philly/University City.

Here are the new Indego station locations in the area:

• 40th and Woodland
• 38th and Spruce
• 38th and Market
• 30th Street Station East

One of the main criticisms of the Philadelphia bike-share program when it launched in 2015 was its availability in more socially and racially diverse neighborhoods and accessibility to lower-income riders. Last year, the program introduced a new equitable pricing plan and more ways for low-income residents to pay for the service, such as Pennsylvania ACCESS cards.

Over the past year, the program added new docking stations in such neighborhoods as Spruce Hill – at 43rd and Chester, Walnut Hill – at 48th and Spruce and 46th and Market – and West Parkside – at 1575 N. 52nd Street (see Indego station map here).

We’ll be spending two hours on Saturday, June 3 from 2-4pm to organize NBW‘s heavily used shop space at 3939 Lancaster Ave. Will you help us? Volunteers will strip donated bikes and sort used parts, learn to patch flats, restock Bike Church and Earn-A-Bike parts bins, process bike donations, and more.

With youth and community bicycle education programs running five days a week, it’s a herculean task to keep our space tidy, safe, and usable. Volunteer support is crucial to keeping everything running smoothly!

Can’t make it this time? Shape Up the Shop usually occurs the first Saturday of every month.

Find a great deal on a quality used bicycle and support Neighborhood Bike Works’ youth and community bicycling and bike repair programs.

At our Spring Bike Sale, we’ll have one-day-only discounts on a huge stock of as-is used bikes, refurbished (ready-to-ride) bikes, and on a large selection of used bike parts, accessories, and apparel. For the sale, we’ll empty our large warehouse of used bikes — so the selection will be huge. And we’ll have staff and volunteers on hand to help you find what you’re looking for.

Best of all, all proceeds from this sale directly support our bike programs for youth and adults in Philadelphia.

Penn students will be moving out of their dorms on Tuesday, May 9 and Wednesday, May 10, so Spruce Street between 34th and 40th Streets will be closed on these days to all traffic, with a few exceptions, from 6:30 a.m. and 8 p.m.

Here are some important reminders in relation to the street closure:

• Emergency vehicles and hospital patient transport vehicles will be permitted access.
• Access will be provided to the Ryan Vet Hospital.
• Bikes will need to be walked on Spruce Street while the streets are closed to traffic.
• SEPTA buses will be re-routed (check septa.org for more information).
