Biking event encourages winter riding

Submitted by CentreBike

STATE COLLEGE — Centre Region Winter Bike Anywhere Friday is scheduled for Friday, Feb. 11.

Bike Anywhere Friday is an initiative to get people riding in the Centre Region and coincides with International Winter Bike to Work Day, which also encourages people to be outside and ride.

All you need to do is ride your bike any distance and any place in the Centre Region on Feb. 11. After you ride, register the number of miles you biked.

Everyone that registers will be entered to win a $50 Blacklist Bikes gift card.

Matthew Cox, CentreBike president, said, “Join other Centre Region cyclists this Friday by riding for our third annual Winter Bike Anywhere Friday event and you will be entered for a chance to win a $50 gift card to Blacklist Bikes. The weather forecast looks great, so take a spin around the Centre Region and start logging your 2022 miles.”

Those looking for places to ride can check out the interactive bike map at www.crcog.net/bike. The map includes information about existing bike facilities, public bike repair stations and the region’s public parks, which are a great place to ride.

Bike Anywhere Friday is a partnership between CentreBike, Centre Regional Planning Agency, Centre Region Parks and Recreation, Centre Moves, State College Borough and Penn State Transportation Services.

Visit www.crcog.net/bike for information on how to register your ride.
