Bike to Work on Friday, May 15th! Join a Bike Train meetup and stop by a Commuter Café

Bike to Work Day is a day to celebrate being one of thousands of people in Pittsburgh who rides to work! It’s also a day to give bicycle commuting a try, so join in the fun and bike to work.

Ride to the nearest of 5 Commuter Cafés to grab some free breakfast and coffee! Commuter Cafés will be located in Oakland, Downtown, Friendship, Northside, and South Side from 7am – 9:30am. See the map below for specific locations. BikePGH members new and old will get a free bag made by the local cyclewear company Aero Tech Designs filled with great swag for you and your bike. Fifteen lucky people will receive a Golden Ticket in their swag bag for a specialty Bike to Work Day prize, so be sure to dig!

Want to ride into work with others? Sign up to lead a Bike Train from your neighborhood to your workplace, and keep an eye on this map for registered Bike Trains so you can hop on. Think of Bike Trains as carpools for people on bikes, but more fun.
