The Lower Merion Township Board of Commissioners officially adopted the eastern part of the Main Line Greenway (MLG) as a Township bicycle network. The eastern part of the MLG extends from Manayunk Bridge to Haverford College through Bala Cynwyd, Merion, Narberth, Wynnewood North Ardmore and South Ardmore. The Commissioners allocated funds for 2024 to design and install wayfinding signage. Planning staff is working with local civic associations, institutions and Haverford Township to extend the MLG to Penn Wynne and from Haverford College to Villanova.

The “Bagel to Bagel” ride will begin at Spread Bagelry in the Wynnewood Shopping center and end at Kismet Bagels at the corner of Woodbine and Montgomery Avenues. The ride is approximately 1.5 miles.
