About DVBC
The Delaware Valley Bicycle Club (DVBC) is a small non-profit organization which serves Delaware County and adjacent areas west of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. DVBC, which is probably the oldest bike club in the Philadelphia area, was formed in 1973 (informally circa 1968) to educate the public as to the safe use of the bicycle through lectures, seminars, planned rides, and other activities promoting the bicycle as an efficient and enjoyable means of exercise, recreation, and transportation. DVBC is a relatively small club and currently has approximately 180 members. We are affiliated with League of American Bicyclists and the Bicycle Coalition of the Delaware Valley. DVBC actively works on projects lobbying political support for issues important to cyclists. We lead many free rides every month for all levels of cyclists. Our meetings and rides are open to the public.
