The Club also hosts numerous social events and supports bicycle-related initiatives through its grant program. The Club has awarded over $530,000 in grants since 1999.
Whether you are an experienced rider or new to bike riding, you can find a variety of suitable rides here on Lancaster Bicycle Club’s Meetup site. Rides are held year round.

See all- Ride the Chester Valley Trail 24 miles F RSVP50 Foundry Way, Malvern, PA
Chester Valley Trail now stretches 12 miles between Melvern and the Schuylkill River. This will be a level and paved ride for its full length. Therefore this will be an easy leisure ride. We will ride from Wegman's parking lot to the Schuylkill River and back. It should take around 3 hours to do. Any type of bike will do for this ride, since it is paved. We will stop at Wegman’s for a bite to eat when we get back. They have a nice outside patio.
Helmets are mandatory; No ear buds or audible music playing devices. Please bring water, and a basic repair kit (spare tube, tire levers, pump/CO2 inflator).
To eliminate passing around a pen and paper waiver, we encourage LBC Club membership and Meetup RSVP below to join this ride. RSVP also allows us to contact you after the ride if needed.
