Cyclists will travel a beautiful 22-mile route from Main Campus to Temple Ambler, touring the Greenway through Fairmount Park, Wissahickon Valley Park's Forbidden Drive and Fort Washington State Park. They will also enjoy a celebration at Ambler Campus at the end of the ride.
Funds raised by the Bike Tour will support Temple University Ambler.
This year, bike rentals are available for the reduced rate of $30 — and just $15 for current Temple students — through Wednesday, April 15, thanks to Fairmount Bicycles.
At the starting line, Neighborhood Bike Works will provide basic pre-ride safety checks such as checking tire pressure, ensuring brakes are working and minor bike adjustments.
Temple Kinesiology students will also lead cyclists in stretching and warm-ups. Temple Police will additionally be on hand to help guide Bike Tour cyclists during the first stretch of the ride.
Campus Celebration
Family members and friends of the cyclists, as well as the general public, are welcome to meet riders at Ambler Campus as the tour concludes and enjoy activities and light refreshments. If you are only planning to attend the Ambler Campus Celebration from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the event is free, but we do ask you to register at ambler.temple.edu/biketour!
The Ambler Campus Celebration will include a beer garden by Well Crafted Beer Company. Each cyclist riding in the tour who is 21 years of age or older will be given a ticket for one free beer after the ride. Beer will also be available for purchase.
The celebration will additionally include guided tours of the campus gardens provided by the Ambler Arboretum, inflatable games and family-friendly activities, delicious food truck and ice cream cart options and opportunities to meet and interact with our sponsors.
Fox Chase Cancer Center will have their Temple Health Mobile Screening Unit available for all participants. Among its services, the Mobile Screening Unit brings breast cancer screenings right into the community. This service will be available to cyclists and the surrounding community on the day of the Bike Tour — the entire process takes about 15 minutes. Please note: You will need a prescription from your doctor if you want a mammogram on the Mobile Screening Unit. Learn more about the Mobile Health Screening Unit.
Neighborhood Bike Works will also be taking part in the finish line celebration with kid-friendly activities.
