OUR HISTORY, AND THE REASON WE RIDE

Chariots of Philly is Philadelphia's first and most trusted human-powered transportation service. We started in the neighborhood of Manayunk and have been serving the city since October 2003.

We have consistently sought to serve our customers by giving them not just a ride on the back of a bicycle, but a few moments of pure joy that will become a life-long memory. This memory may be of a romantic ride down the street, a thrilling yet laughter-filled ride with a group of friends, or cheering on a charioteer as he or she conquers a hill thanks to the support of his or her passengers.

More than providing a few moments of pure joy, we seek to truly serve each community in which we ride.
Underlying everything we do, we hope to share the love of Jesus by following Paul’s example as he puts it in I Corinthians 9:22: “I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some” because according to Jesus in John 4:13-14, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst”. We simply hope to be servants to those we encounter and to share this love that has transformed our lives.

We are thankful to have had many opportunities to help those who have been lost safely find their way late at night, give those who have been drinking an alternative to driving, take those who have run out of gas to the gas station, or simply provide directions to those looking for a particular restaurant, address, or other destination. We have a heart for Philadelphia, those who live here and those who are visiting, and hope to serve this city for decades to come.
