CAT Bicycle Cooperative
A do-it yourself workshop, where community members have use of bike tools and an on-duty instructor available to help. These services are offered without financial barriers, inviting cyclists who ride both by necessity and by choice, emphasizing use of bicycles for transportation, environment, fitness/health, and sport. We generally see the full-spectrum of cyclists, from parents with young children, neighborhood teenagers, and all types of adult cyclists who want to learn.
Members with financial means are encouraged to support local bike shops for parts & service, but to come to CAT when they want to learn hands-on skills.
Bike Smart Lehigh Valley
Bringing bicycling education to schools and youth groups, in partnership with local bike shops, police departments, and municipalities. CAT’s Bike Day events offer helmet fittings, bike safety checks, and a bike skills course to learn handling skills & rules of the road.
Holiday Bikes
Our focus during the November/December holidays. CAT volunteers refurbish children’s bicycles at no cost for parents with financial hardship to give to their children. In 2019, 50 bicycles were offered, with an average of four (4) hours invested in each bike to make it ride like a champ.
Lehigh Valley Bike to Work Week
A celebration of bicycling for transportation every May – whether to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution, or to simply enjoy the ride. CAT instructors offer route planning advice & support
Adopt-a-Bus Stop
Empowers LANta public transit riders to take pride in bus waiting areas and bus shelters, to pick up trash and cigarette butts. To make it shine- while earning a monthly unlimited bus pass.
YES Pedestrian
Encourages walking through ADA accessible sidewalks, enjoyable pedestrian environment such as street trees, murals/street art, and crosswalk lighting.
Promotes pedestrian experience with education about yield-to-pedestrian laws, traffic calming, i.e. speed reduction, and human-scale streetscapes.
