The Bicycle Club of Philadelphia (BCP), founded in 1979, is dedicated to
the encouragement of all aspects of bicycling, including touring and mountain
biking.
The purpose of the club is: to sponsor recreational cycling activities,
encourage bicycling as a transportation alternative and to promote bicyclists'
rights and safe bicycling practices. BCP is a volunteer, non-profit organization.
Dues are $15 if you get the QR newsletter by email or from the Website, $20 if you get the paper newsletter via US mail. Membership provides you with our monthly 12 page newsletter, the "Quick Release"- chock full of rides and cycling information- and also entitles you to discounts at many area bike shops!
New BCP Web Site BCP is introducing a new web site. The next few months will be a trial period for the new site. During the trial period both the new site and the old site will be available. We hope you will visit the new site and discover the new features it has to offer. You can learn more about the new web site by following this link.
