Geared Up & Grounded

Our annual bike tour fundraiser is back! Route and start location are TBD.

Join the Grounded team for a bike ride to visit vibrant, reclaimed community green spaces.

The Pittsburgh region has over 30,000 vacant lots, many of which are overgrown and unmaintained. More importantly, most of these vacant lots are concentrated in black and brown communities that are also low-income, creating an environmental and racial justice emergency.

Grounded elevates community champions and their efforts to reclaim these abandoned spaces, and turn them into vibrant community assets for everyone to enjoy. Come along and see these sites firsthand and meet the neighborhood advocates making it happen!

At each stop, we will speak to community partners, learning about their journey and the transformation of vacant spaces into activated places.
