GHAR Sponsors Bikes for SusqueCycle Regional Bike Share Program

ENOLA, PA (May 21, 2024) – This morning, the Greater Harrisburg Association of REALTORS® participated in kicking off the summer season for the SusqueCycle Regional Bike Share Program.

Through an NAR Placemaking Level 2 Grant, GHAR was able to sponsor bikes in the Hummelstown town square station. The program was spearheaded by the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission to provide an efficient, affordable, healthy, and environmentally friendly mobility option for people who live and work in the Harrisburg area.

Bikes will be available for rent at a number of locations including Hummelstown and downtown Harrisburg.

Old bikes will be donated to Recycle Bicycle Harrisburg, a non-profit organization who mission is to provide all residents of the greater Harrisburg area – especially those of limited means – with access to safe, reliable, affordable, and environmentally friendly transportation in the form of bicycles.

We hope everyone can enjoy this great bike sharing program throughout Central PA!
