Mayor Bill Peduto sees it as part of transportation mix

Bright green lane markings in Pittsburgh’s Bloomfield show where bicyclists and drivers can safely share the road. Bike lanes and commuting by bicycle are already a big part of life in other parts of the world. Mayor Bill Peduto thinks it has a place in the mix of how we travel here.

Peduto experienced the bike lanes firsthand in a recent trip paid for by the national group People For Bikes, as part of the Green Lane Project, which the city says is investing more than a quarter-million dollars in Pittsburgh over the next two years.

“During the week, I biked somewhere between 60 to 70 miles,” said Peduto.

Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 showed the videos to Pittsburghers in Market Square to get their reactions.
