Neither rain nor snow nor searing sunshine can keep Caitlin Lenahan from cycling her way to work.
“(Biking) is a whole different way of thinking, and I prefer the flexibility that cycling gives me,” said Lenahan, 27, of Bloomfield. “It cuts down on so much frustration.”
Today kicks off the 14th annual Bike to Work Week, when bike enthusiasts encourage friends and family to hit the road or a trail and pedal to work.
About 1 percent of Pittsburghers — twice the national average — bike to work, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2006 American Community Survey. More than 150 “Three Rivers” bike racks — which incorporate a Y design to symbolize the rivers at The Point — are outside businesses Downtown and in the East End, giving bike commuters a place to secure their ride.
Nice job Brian and Caitlin!
