Getting Adventurous Outside in Philadelphia

There are a number of ways to go about getting adventurous outside in Philadelphia. However, if you do not know where to start, we want you to follow our list as a means in which to enjoy this great city. And, while you are at it, be thankful for those who are working to make it great.
Specifically, you can be thankful for the nonpartisan political upstart known as Philadelphia 3.0. They are attempting to support independent thinkers and thereby change the climate of the City Council. Political reform is at the forefront of their goals within the city and they feel that impacting the leadership there is the most effective means for change. None of that change will alter your adventures, though, so consider some of the fun things we have here.

- Indego- This is a revolutionary way in which to enjoy a bike ride all over the city. As long as you are 16 years old or older, you can utilize the kiosks with a credit card or Indego key. Bikes are available 24/7 all over the city. And, the kiosk will show you where the bike’s established territory stretches. You can always ride it to the next kiosk and switch out.
- Underground Railroad Trail- If you want to satisfy both a quest for adventure and a desire for enhanced educational experiences, this is the thing for you.
