BIKE POOL: FIND A COMMUTING PARTNER
You heard of carpooling and vanpooling, right? Bike Pittsburgh and the SPC CommuteInfo program are working together to help regional commuters who want to get to their jobs or school by bike, find bike partners with whom to share the ride – forming BikePools. Be one of the first to sign up to participate in the regionÃs first “BikePooling” initiative! Signing up is quick and easy and does not cost you anything. In return you will get a personalized report listing other people interested in biking to work/school. If you want to be listed as a BikePool Leader just mention that in the “Other Comments” section. Sign up today!
