20 Years of PedalPGH

Believe it or not, two decades of Pedal PGH are now behind us. This year’s 20th anniversary ride on August 25th was a huge success with more riders, more miles, and more funds raised than ever before. Thanks to everyone who participated in this years ride be it as a rider, volunteer, sponsor, or cheering supporter. We here at BikePGH are truly grateful. PedalPGH would not happen without you.  We have received a lot of positive feedback from this years ride, 95.3% of riders polled (who’s counting), but  we are always looking to where we can improve.  We look forward to seeing everyone and beating this year’s milestone accomplishments in 2014.

• Nearly 3,000 Participants
• $50,000 raised to help BikePGH make Pittsburgh’s streets and communities safer for biking and walking
• 95,200 miles biked
