Geared Up & Grounded: Bike Tour
2022-07-23 09:00 - 12:30 | Bakery Square, 6425 Penn Ave, Pittsburgh, PA, 15206, United States
Allegheny County has over 60,000 vacant lots.
Most are overgrown and unmaintained.
The majority of these vacant lots are concentrated in black and brown communities that happen to also below-income. This is an environmental and racial justice emergency. Grounded elevates the voices of community champion and supports their ongoing efforts to reclaim and steward these abandoned spaces. You make this work possible. Together, we are helping residents create and sustain vibrant spaces across the county.
The 2022 Geared Up and Grounded Bike Tour will showcase community projects and resident champions in the Hill District neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA.
At each stop, we will speak to community partners, learning about their journey and the transformation of vacant spaces into activated places. For those who do not have a bike, we encourage you to rent a POGOH bike! The ride will feature some grades, a slow to moderate pace, and the route length is approximately 10 miles.
The guided bike tour will be marshaled by Pittsburgh Major Taylor Cycling Club, and sponsored by Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield.

About this event

Want to help support our mission, and have fun doing it?! Come on out to our happy hour on August 25th, from 6-10PM at Trace Brewing.

Register for free to get updates on this event.* $1 from every drink gets donated to Grounded!

One of the legacies of Pittsburgh’s population decline are thousands of vacant lots. Vacant land in our region represents a complex environmental challenge that disproportionately burdens low income communities and communities of color. Restoring vacant land for productive use improves community health while creating economic and environmental benefits.
Grounded Strategies uses land as a medium for community change. We work with residents to create equitable, sustainable, and catalytic greenspace projects. We work to improve the social, economic, and environmental health of distressed and transitional communities by building capacity to reclaim vacant and underutilized land.

*registration is not required to attend this event.

Official Start Time: 9:00am
Folks from our Bakery Square sponsors will speak briefly before push-off!
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.
The ride will feature gentle grades and a slow to moderate pace.
