Get on your bike and ride! 

Want to learn the trails in the Centre Region, meet more bikers, and get comfortable on your bike? Some of the bicycle advocacy groups in the community offer no-drop group rides and social events in efforts to promote biking.

Group rides typically occur from the late spring through the early fall. The Borough of State College hosts bike-related events throughout the year.

  • Cycling in the Centre Region
  • Reporting issues with the biking facilities
  • Addressing cyclist concerns
  • Planning upcoming community projects and events
  • Promoting region wide efforts for improvements for cyclists

This group meets the second Monday of every month. Community wide events are listed on the Centre Bike interactive calendar.
