Icycle Bicycle 2022 – We meet in the Southside each year. This year we stopped at the point for a photo. And stopped afterwards at Hofbräuhaus afterwards. This year was warm but rainy.

Icycle Bicycle is the longest lived tradition/ride of the Western Pennsylvania Wheelmen, and now the Western PA Bicycle Club. For decades, club members have met on New Years day regardless of the weather to bicycle. The routes have varied over the years, but for the last decade or so we have met on the South Side an navigated along the rivers around downtown Pittsburgh. In recent years we meet for a meal afterwards. The Hofbräuhaus makes a great venue, with large tables and live German music for New Years.

This Strava report from 2021 shows the nominally smallest Icycle Bicycle ride, as we went socially distance (on your own) due to the Covid pandemic.

These Icycle Bicycle photos from 2015 and 2019 show Icycle Bicycle in 2015 and 2019, pre-pandemic.

Thanks to Gary Margeson for being event photographer for Icycle Bicycle for some years, including taking the great start group shots in 2015 and 2019.

The Western Pennsylvania Bicycle Club is a regional club with a large footprint. In events like Icycle Bicycle and Team Decaf we are a Pittsburgh bike club. We are also a Washington County bike club with our rides out of Cecil. And we ride often north into Butler County, so that makes us a Butler County bike club. Westnoreland County, Greene County, Mercer County, we ride a lot of places.
