There are some stats in this article on bicycle commuting in the outlying Philadelphia suburbs including Camden County where our property at 45 South Centre Street is located in Merchantville two short blocks from the bike path. When this bike path is extended through Camden to the Ben Franklin Bridge you will be able to ride your bike from here to City Hall, Philadelphia in less than 6 miles.
The bike trail network that comes right through Merchantvilles downtown is gaining steam. Put your business here, bike to work!

Commercial investment in Merchantville
The former Philadelphia Fruit Market, Merchantville’s great little grocery store + butcher, is under new ownership, and the property is receiving a complete rehab. Fantastic, and we love seeing the investment and confidence in this great business district.
On a smaller scale the Sal’s Pizza shop on Centre Street next to our property at 45 is also undergoing a complete renovation. Look for an all new Pizza cafe opening in a few weeks.
