Icycle Bicycle 2025

January 1 @ 10:45 am 12:00 pm

The Western PA Bicycle Club’s annual New Year’s Day ride. We start in Southside Works near REI. All are welcome.
Meet at South Side Works near REI nominally at 10:45 AM, with the ride leaving at 11 AM. Please arrive early.
Exact route and distance depends on weather conditions.

Continuing recent tradition, we’ll collect a $5 voluntary donation for the Community Human Services food pantry (www.chscorp.org/)

A baseline route is here:  https://ridewithgps.com/routes/29092849

From South Side Works ride to the Western End Bridge, then through the North Shore area to the 31th Street Bridge. Then along Penn to the end, when we cross over to Boulevard of the Allies. Ride on roads relatively free of cars during the holiday.

Roads will likely be safer than trails in icy conditions, but we will play it by ear. Use common sense.

Helmets required to ride and all riders please sign in for insurance purposes when you arrive. An event of the Western Pennsylvania Bicycle Club (WPW). All are welcome. Even you. Really.

Icycle Bicycle is a WPW club tradition spanning decades.
We usually grab a table or 2 after the ride at Hofbrauhaus after the ride

    A little history about this ride. My father, Jim Meyers and other club members, came up with this event in 1974 or 1975. We would start the ride at the South Park parking lot, ride down Corrigan drive to the McDonalds, have some hot chocolate, then back to the parking lot. I remember riding it in a foot of snow, while snowing! Our most popular ride in those years was the “WAG” event out of Washington. It took place in June and was headquartered at the Washington and Jefferson college. There were several tours over that weekend including a historical tour, rides of different length, and a century to Hundred, West Va. and back. I remember riding the historic tour on Sunday, after doing the century Saturday. One of our companions on that ride was Georgina Terry! There’s some history.
