Commit to Trying It: Bike to Work!

August 30, 2015
Will you commit to ride?

CentreBike is encouraging local residents to commit to bike to work on Friday, September 18. Together with PSU Sustainability and PSU Transportation, we’ll have a table at Allen Street Gates to answer questions, provide maps, register bikes and talk with the community.

How you can participate:
- Commit to bike work on Fri, Sept 18
- Encourage friends to commit
- Stop by Allen Street Gates (7:30am-4pm)
- Share your commute photos all month with #CentreFallBike, or on the CentreBike Facebook page
Why bike to work? It keeps you moving, saves you money & time, helps the planet, and reduces vehicle congestion in town and on campus.

The goal of these “Bike to Work” days is two fold: To inspire new people to try cycling as daily transportation, and to grow awareness for the large number of locals using cycling as daily transportation.
