• Successful Mayor Ride

    On Saturday, May 16, 2015, a large group of local cyclists enjoyed a family-friendly bike ride to celebrate May Bike Month. 30+ riders, including CentreBike members, mayor Elizabeth Goreham, and local families, biked a 7-mile loop around State College.

    The ride was a great way to kick off a summer of cycling, and to raise awareness of the importance of bike safety and active transportation in our region.

    CentreBike hopes to make the event an annual celebration to welcome spring, and to encourage families to get out and ride together.


  • Ride Your Bike to Work Tomorrow!

    It’s almost here: Friday, May 15 is National Bike-to-Work Day. Jump on your bike, and join your fellow two-wheeled commuters in the Centre Region!

    From 8am – 8:45am on May 15, stop by The Bicycle Shop in State College for free coffee and espresso, as part of our Commuter Coffee Fridays. 

    Every Friday in May, cycling commuters can stop in at a different location around town to pick up a free coffee, get cycling questions answered, and celebrate the joy of two-wheeled cycling to work. Make sure to explore all our May Bike Month activities.
