Wednesday Night Rides // Oct 28 // Sixth Sense Ride
This week, we'll reprise our tour of Philadelphia filming locations for M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense. While it's always a good idea to look at the route before the ride, this week's RideWithGPS and Kmoot route maps are extra informative - they include details for all of the filming locations. We'll end at Craft Hall Philly on the Delaware River Trail. Halloween costumes, whether silly or spooky, are very welcome and encouraged, but not required.

Ride notes:
*We'll be riding on the sidewalk along St. Albans Place so we can visit the unique block where Cole's house is located in the film. Please use caution and be respectful of the neighbors.
*It'll be dark, so you'll need both a headlight and rear light. We also highly encourage all riders to wear a helmet.
*It's not lost on us that the film includes the death of a cyclist. Please ride safely, stop at red lights, and avoid conflict with drivers.
*New and returning riders alike, please take the time to review our How We Ride guide (see our story highlights). Please follow these ride norms so everyone's on the same page, and we keep the ride safe and fun.
See you on Wednesday on a bike!
