Join our PedalPGH volunteer team!

Help us bring this year’s UPMC Health Plan PedalPGH to the streets of Pittsburgh

Join us in bringing Pennsylvania’s largest bike ride to life! Sign up to help out with BikePGH’s annual fundraiser ride, PedalPGH. It’s a casual, fun ride that exposes people of all ages and fitness levels to the neighborhoods, parks, bridges, and geography that make Pittsburgh so unique.

We have opportunities for setup, prep, and route testing before the event – or join us on the main event day and help support riders at rest stops across the city. Our events wouldn’t be possible without the help of our amazing volunteers!
