We're excited to announce the addition of new EZ Rider 3-speed bikes at the Ernst Trail in Meadville. This time of year is perfect for exploring the trail, with beautiful scenery, plenty of shade, and picturesque views along French Creek.

As part of CATA's mobility services, Bike Share helps connect people with healthy, affordable, and enjoyable transportation and recreation options. We're grateful to partner with organizations that share our commitment to active living and enhancing the quality of life in rural communities.

With more than 55 bikes available for rent across six communitiesโ€”and growingโ€”there's never been a better time to get out and ride! ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒณโ˜€๏ธ
