Ready to try biking to work?
We are encouraging all Centre Region residents to commit to bicycling to work on Thursday, September 8th to celebrate our designation at a Bicycle Friendly Community and Penn State’s status as a Bicycle Friendly University.
Together with PSU Sustainability and PSU Transportation Services, CentreBike will have a table from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Allen Street Gates (at the intersection of College Ave & Allen St. in downtown State College) where you can register bikes, ask questions, hear updates on bike route expansions and improvement, and learn about group ride events.
If you have never tried biking to work, we can match you with a mentor who can answer questions, identify a comfortable route, and/or bike with you. Commuting by bike offers several advantages in addition to exercise and financial savings; it can also save time for those with shorter driving distances or satellite parking spots.
How to participate:
- Commit to bike to work on Thursday, September 8 and/or stop by Allen Street Gates that day (8 a.m.-4 p.m.)
- Encourage friends to commit by sharing an image above in emails or social media
- Contact us if you would be interested in help from a bike comm

Share your commute photos this fall with #CentreFallBike or @sustainPSU on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. You can also directly share on the CentreBike or Sustainability at Penn State Facebook pages.
