Biking the Suburbs Workshops
Do you want your community to be bicycle friendly? This workshop will address understanding what to ask for, building local support, securing funds, and getting the attention of your elected officials in order to make it happen. Learn all about The Circuit, our region's burgeoning regional trail network, and how you can use this powerful tool to ensure your favorite trail gets built and is well maintained.
Staff Rides
Every 3rd Wednesday of the month, a BCGP staffer will lead a 5-mile ride through Philadelphia. Each route will highlight various infrastructure and programmatic pieces that we are working to improve. Join us to see how bikeable our city has become and what is coming next. Helmets and bikes are required. All riders will need to sign a waiver upon arrival (if you are under 18 you will need a guardian present and participating). We will be following the rules of the road so come ready to ride in Courteous Mass style.
