PICL/NICA

Pennsylvania Interscholastic Cycling League & National Interscholastic Cycling League

Thanks to a compelling meeting with Ryan Oelkers and Mike Kuhn, Piscitello Law is now part of the PICL family, and we are all in!! PICL stands for the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Cycling League with a mission to get more kids on bikes throughout the state of Pennsylvania. Mike serves as PICL’s Executive Director and Ryan is the Outreach Director. Mike, Ryan, and the coaches have developed a growing base of supporters, volunteers and athletes who are fired up and excited about cycling. Team PICL has roughly 1,300 members, 600 coaches and 60 active teams.

One of the key aspects to their growth has been their strategy to create more cycling events that are closer to home. As a result, they are incredible active throughout the state. In 2021, the PICL league hosted a dozen local events that they call “local dirts” and they ran 5 statewide events. PICL also coordinates weekly practices for the 60 + active PICL teams through Pennsylvania. PICL members have logged in 6,000 hours of community service assisting in trail maintenance throughout the state in 2021. To get more info about PICL click here!
