What we’re about
CAT group bike rides are geared toward nurturing new riders who are discovering the enjoyment of bicycling. We highlight local bike routes that serve fun and useful destinations like bakeries, coffee shops, local businesses, parks, etc., while utilizing the network of trails and streets.
We also offer special rides that promote biking to work and overnight touring such as bike camping trips/bikepacking.
CAT is an IRS 501(c)3 non-profit organization and here's our mission:
CAT–Coalition for Appropriate Transportation strengthens our Lehigh Valley community and our environment through bicycling, pedestrian accessibility, and public transportation.
CAT works to improve mobility for everyone. Better bicycling, walking/ADA accessibility, and public transit develop a stronger, smarter economy and a higher quality of life. Sustainable transportation reduces traffic congestion, counters climate change, and offers a healthier community for everyone.
CAT serves adults & children of Pennsylvania’s Lehigh & Northampton Counties.

Haven’t been on your bike for a few months? Looking for an easy ride to ease back into spring and summer biking?
Join us at 10 am on Wednesday April 30th for a casual ride through the neighborhoods and parks of Hanover Township. We’ll meet at the Hanover Twp Community Center parking lot at 3660 Jacksonville Rd, Bethlehem. From there, we’ll bike along the quiet suburban streets for 7-8 miles, and maybe make a brief side quest to see grazing horses. Our pace will be slow and leisurely. We can take a refreshment break at Dave’s Deli.
