DORIS WAGNER, Professor of Biology
Route: RITTENHOUSE SQUARE to LYNCH LABORATORY, VIA SOUTH STREET BRIDGE
Wagner and biking go way back. “I grew up in a very small town in rural Germany close to the French border,” she says. “My family’s weekend outings consisted of bike rides together in the German and French countryside. I loved those rides.” She’s always seen biking as a combination of pleasurable and practical. “When I was little, not that many people had cars. Many did their shopping on bikes very similar to the Dutch cargo bike I now use for my short commute to Penn. This is where my love for these heavy but versatile bikes came from.” These days, Wagner commutes from Rittenhouse Square and enjoys when academic conferences take her to bike-friendly cities—favorites have been Gyeongju and Jeju Island, South Korea, and Valencia, Spain.
