Group Rides, Meet Ups & more!

The WMNBikePGH program has been a huge part of BikePGH’s programming for years – from group rides to camping trips to yoga, gear swaps, workshops, and more, this program has connected with and supported a community that BikePGH wants to see greater representation in the cycling community.

That commitment hasn’t changed. However, our funding situation has. We are so excited to share our WMNB plans for 2026, but don’t want to pretend that this isn’t a reduction in our program; you’ll notice less on the schedule in 2026 than you’ve seen in previous years.

We’ve done our best to fundraise but ultimately we had to make the incredibly difficult decision to scale the program back to its core: inclusive, accessible group rides and our annual camping trip. And, our first-ever Scavenger Hunt was such a huge success in 2025 that we are bringing it back in 2026!

We want to assure everyone that we are still here for you. We want to make space for our women, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming friends to feel joy and safety on their bikes.

Wednesday, 4/15 : More Miles + Hills
Time: Meet at 6 pm
Start & end location: Friendship Park (map)
***Ride Route: Please review the route ahead of time so you feel comfortable and prepared.

Ride Details: This ride is an intermediate-friendly on-street ride. It is a 15-mile loop with 800 feet of climbing. If you are uncomfortable riding on the street or climbing hills, this may not be the ride for you. 

We’ll ride through Bloomfield and the Strip District into Downtown and climb our way through the Hill District before heading into Oakland, Shadyside, and Highland Park. We’ll take a lap around Highland Park on Reserver Drive before returning to Friendship Park. 

Inclusive Group Rides – Spring, Summer & Fall

What to expect at our rides:
Some might call our rides C pace; we ride at a pace of 8-10 miles per hour.
Our rides are no-drop ride, meaning no one will be left behind, and we will frequently regroup. There will be a ride leader, sweep, and marshalls to ensure the group stays together and is safe.

Requirements: Be sure to do a bike safety check before heading out with the ABC Quick Check.

8/20 Gear Swap & Bike Camping Workshop at Velum Fermentation

To get ready for the Annual GAP Trail Bike Camping Trip, we’re partnering with Peony’s Bike Tours to provide an intro bike camping workshop. Registrants will go over how to prepare for a bike camping trip, supplies needed, and how to pack supplies on their bikes.

Bring your gently used bike gear, clothing, or camping supplies. You don’t have to bring gear in to be able to take gear home.

Registration coming soon!
