It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our friend and founder, Ross Willard.

Ross was a great advocate for bike safety and ensuring everyone had access to transportation. He was the driving force behind Recycle Bicycle Harrisburg and everyone in the bicycling community will miss him.

Our thoughts are with his wife, family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time.

We will provide more details once they are available

Published On 5/15/2023

HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) – The City of Harrisburg marked National Bike Month with Mayor Wanda Williams joining children for a bike ride through Riverfront Park.

For those who didn’t have a bike, Recycle Bicycle was on hand with bikes for anyone wishing to borrow one.

Mayor Wanda Williams said, “I wanted to learn how to ride a bike again, I haven’t rode a bike in 50 years so it’s an opportunity now to come out and ride the bikes and enjoy the day.”

Ross Willard, Chief Mechanical Operator for Recycle Bicycle said, “They rode up to the civic center and back just to show that this beautiful park is fun to ride in.”

Recycle Bicycle also handed out bike safety information to children and parents.
