As a bicycle advocate we are dedicated to providing support for bicyclists as they navigate through the streets in our area. We focus on teaching the law, being prepared, and riding defensively.
We can’t transform Harrisburg and surrounding areas alone. In order to change culture, we need to work together to increase bicycle advocacy vision into the laws and policies of our decision makers. The collective voice of readers like YOU can help make the streets of our city and neighborhoods safer. Please be involved. You can also contact your county government and local boroughs and townships.
