Our bicycling events have been created and designed to support our organization's efforts to establish Lancaster County and our municipalities as "Bicycle-Friendly Communities", improve the area’s air quality through the Air Quality Partnership of the Susquehanna Valley, continue our Legacy Project as Friends of the Betty Finney HIV/AIDS Memorial Garden, and support other local charities to achieve their missions to improve our community. There is no community without unity!
