Membership Benefits

Why should you join BCP? Membership in BCP provides you with many benefits, including our monthly newsletter, the "Quick Release", chock full of rides, cycling events and cycling news. Membership also entitles you to bike shop discounts and allows you to attend our regular special events.

Top Ten Reasons to Join BCP:

Learn the best bicycling routes in the Greater Delaware Valley.
Ride with people who generally know how to fix little mechanical problems (and sometimes big ones too).
Make new friends with people who share your interests in cycling (and probably a lot more).
Get discounts at area bike shops and receive a monthly newsletter.
Support bicycling as a viable transportation alternative.
Improve your cycling and bicycle maintenance skills.
Enjoy the fun and safety of riding with a group.
Lose weight, stay fit, and have an excuse to wear funny clothes.
Hang out with healthy, active, and fun people.
