Pittsburgh’s First Annual Women & Biking Forum 
Presented by BikePGH and Chatham University
Saturday, March 29th 2014 at Chatham University

A day of facilitated workshops, discussion groups, and keynote speakers aimed to provide a space where women can talk about their experiences and gain knowledge and resources. Women of all ages and skill levels found workshops directed towards basic bike adjustments, upkeep, the fundamentals of riding, and how to choose appropriate layers for all-weather riding. Discussion groups focused on riding with children and families, navigating bike shops, safety, incorporating bicycling into your life, and experiences (the good, the bad, the silly). Full recap of the event here!

Thanks to Marty’s Market  and Highmark for contributing lunch for all forum attendees!
