We're celebrating with 5 pop-up Commuter Cafés across the city offering free coffee and breakfast treats to all riders. BikePGH members will ride away with an additional gift and a chance at one of our golden ticket prizes. Excited? Take the pledge to bike to work on May 20th! http://bikepgh.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9ba5e7d5220b27c77dd0224b5&id=29bad3fe92&e=4d5fac39d3

Unsurprisingly, the Commonwealth is also 3rd in the nation for number of deaths linked to speeding.

Ask your state legislator to co-sponsor a bill that would allow local police in PA to use radar to enforce our traffic laws.

The results of the survey show that students are eager for Pittsburgh to become a safer place to bike and walk. They also see the need for a variety of solutions: When asked if safe cycling techniques should be taught to drivers as well as bicyclists, almost all gave a firm yes (95%).
