ANNOUNCEMENT: Double Your Membership Donation with Dollar-for-Dollar Matching Program
Your donation will be matched dollar for dollar for six months!
We are extremely excited to announce our summer-long matching gift program. There is no better time to join and become a member or renew your membership. The Benter Foundation has offered to match each and every membership donation (up to $100) that we receive from TODAY through October 30th.
Membership is our most important source of income. The more members we have, the stronger our voice! When you visit other bike-friendly cities in America and wonder why Pittsburgh isn’t the same…remember, those cities weren’t always that way. They became bike-friendly due to a strong grassroots movement that was at the table, representing the needs of cyclists. Pittsburgh is no exception.
Even if you’re not a cyclist, we fight for more livable streets to transform Pittsburgh into a more vibrant place to live, work, and play…for everyone. We need your support to make change!
Never been a member? Check out the benefits our card-carrying members enjoy. In addition to helping to directly fund bicycle improvements, you’ll receive discounts at participating bike shops and businesses, as well as priority invitations and discounts to our events.
Don’t remember if you’re a member? Call or email us and we’d be happy to tell you: membership@bike-pgh.org
The Pittsburgh Bike Map, bike lanes, racks…None of this would be possible without your support. This summer is shaping up to be another stellar year of cycling improvements. Our campaign for the City to hire a Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator (a first in the State of Pennsylvania) is beginning to pay off, even garnering some national attention from Prevention Magazine. You’ll be seeing hundreds of new bike racks installed throughout business districts, as well as a new crop of bike lanes and sharrows. It’s an exciting time to be part of this movement, so don’t miss out!
Membership is critical to making sure this momentum continues!
Membership starts at just $30 ($20 for student/low income/retired)
Here are all of the ways to become a member:
- Online with your credit card through Google Checkout or PayPal
- Send a check or money order (with Name, address, phone and email) to Bike Pittsburgh, ATTN: Membership, 33 Terminal Way, 15219

Imagine Pittsburgh as a city where the choice to ride a bike is an easy one. A vibrant city where the roads are less congested, the air is cleaner, and folks are healthier. Bike Pittsburgh works every day on behalf of our members to make this vision a reality. Invest in your community – become a member today!
Also, don’t forget about our referral program. If you get a friend to become a member, we’ll send you a gift to say thanks!
