We are thrilled to announce that Doylestown has been selected to be a host of the international Bicycle Film Festival in April 2022. By partnering with local cycling organizations and our cultural destinations, we intend to host film screenings and panel discussions with cycling legends. Proceeds from the event will help fund a study of bike-share feasibility in our community.
