The BikePGH Lounge in Oakland at Park(ing) Day 2010

Get the brand new Pittsburgh Bike Map at the BikePGH Lounge this Friday for Park(ing) Day

We just finished the latest version of our award-winning Pittsburgh Bike Map, and we want you to get one!

In addition to finding one at every bike shop in town, you can pick up your map at the Bike Pittsburgh’s Park(ing) Day Lounge. Just in time for the national Park(ing) Day event, the official bike map release will be at the BikePGH Lounge located in a parking space in front of Espresso A Mano in Lawrenceville.

The Bike Pittsburgh Lounge is the parking spot we’ll be transforming Friday for PARK(ing) Day: the annual, one-day, global event where artists, activists, and citizens transform metered parking spots into temporary public parks.

After getting your map, be sure to hang around because we’ll have a button maker where you can make one-of-a-kind buttons from the bike map (or anything else that strikes your fancy).

Pittsburgh loves Park(ing) Day! Ride to the other locations

There are lots of locations around town that are also celebrating this annual event. Many organizations and businesses come up with some creative spaces to play in, or simply hang out and drink some coffee. Word is that OTB Bike Cafe will have an amazing space that is not to be missed.
