This is a fundraiser to help keep progress going

We’re closing out National Bike Month with a bike gathering and picnic to celebrate the progress we’ve made together.

For over 20 years, BikePGH and supporters have been advocating for a safe and connected bike network. As the gaps fill in, it’s time to see how it all connects and celebrate the community that keeps pushing Pittsburgh toward safer, more joyful streets.

As for the bike ride, this marshaled loop will roll through key infrastructure wins such as:

Forbes + Braddock upgraded intersection to get in & out of the Forbes Ave Protected Bike Lanes
