BikeFest 09!
When is it? August 14th through August 23rd
So, What is BikeFest Exactly?
BikeFest is Pittsburgh’s biggest cycling event for cyclists by cyclists. It’s Bike Pittsburgh’s annual celebration of all things bicycling, showcasing Pittsburgh in all of its uniqueness and beauty. It is not an organized event, but a framework for volunteers and organizations to organize bicycle-themed events. Whether you ride everyday, the weekends, or just always wanted to try, BikeFest has an event for you
Why a BikeFest?
Pittsburgh is filled with interesting things to see and do, and what better way to experience the city than on a bicycle? So we decided to celebrate the two to both raise awareness of the bike as a fun, healthy, and environmentally friendly way to get around, and to highlight some of the interesting things Pittsburgh has to offer. There are a wide variety of bikers and organizations in this city and if we can all get to know one another, we’ll be able to make Pittsburgh a more bike friendly and livable city.
Plus, biking is fun, and that’s reason enough.
Who organizes BikeFest?
The calendar of events is open to anyone who wants to organize an event, and relate it to the bicycle. Bike Pittsburgh and Free Ride! are providing the framework, merely acting as the “hub” to catalyze the events.
Help promote your idea or organization by helping us promote bicycling. Be creative!

BikeFest is anywhere and everywhere around the Pittsburgh region. Each event will start in a different location. The calendar will have location details.
