The Lancaster Bicycle Club is a road-based recreational club for cyclists of all levels.

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.

Born in Shirati, Tanzania, and a graduate of Hempfield High School and Millersville University, Paul built a life centered around creativity, adventure, and connection. As the founder of Paul Jacobs Photography, his talent captured countless cherished moments—and his adventurous heart led him into nature as often as possible, whether by bike, on foot, or backpacking in the coldest months of the year.
