BikePGH believes everyone should have the opportunity to learn how to ride a bike

Jason, 17, from Lincoln-Lemington, didn’t have much experience riding bikes before he signed up for BikePGH’s after-school program at Pittsburgh Public Schools’ Obama Academy.

Donor support made it possible for 489 students to learn how to ride bikes in our after-school program last year. Click here to donate today and your gift will go twice as far thanks to a dollar–for–dollar match. 

A note from Jason:

When I signed up for BikePGH’s after school class, I didn’t expect to learn so much, from basic bike maintenance and repairs to mapping safe routes around the city.

I learned new things that I didn’t know before, became friends with students I’d never met before, and as the program went on, I felt like I joined a family of bicyclists.

Over the summer, I even signed up to be a BikePGH educator, teaching 6th to 8th grade students at University Prep in the Hill District. I loved introducing others to biking and how exciting it is, and passing on what I learned. It’s an experience I’ll never forget.
