Spoiler: we love all of yinz. It’s truly a privilege to ride in this beautiful city with so many amazing people. #bikelove

1./ The Bike Commuter: You ride to your job as often as you can and love it. You can’t think of a better way to get to work.

2./ The $$ Saver: Money has always been tight and, for you, bicycling is the most practical way of getting around while staying within your budget. Cheaper than a car or a gym membership, biking just makes sense.

3./ The Weekend Warrior: You ride the roads or trails all weekend long. 50 miles is a short jaunt for you.

4./ The Family Rider: Nothing excites your family more than getting together for a ride. It’s a fun, healthy way to spend time together and an easy way to build fond memories.

5./ The Racer: You’re hopelessly devoted to training and putting in the miles. You know the roads inside and out because you’re out there all the damn time.

6./ The Advocate: 311 is on your speed dial, “I give bikes 4 feet” is on your bumper, “Share the Road” is tattooed on your calf, and you pedal your way to every public meeting. Speaking up for others navigating the city on two wheels is your passion.

7./ The Bike-Curious: You haven’t been on a bicycle in a few years but you’ve subscribed to the BikePGH email list, and have signed up for a City Cycling class. You’re pretty sure you’ll love bicycling and you’re getting ready to try.

8./ The Social Biker: You’d never dream of biking to work, but you’ve never missed an Underwear Bike Ride or a Keg Ride. Your bike is a vehicle for having a good time and meeting new people.

9./ The Philanthropist: You use your bike as a vehicle for change, organizing rides to benefit medical research, food banks, homeless people, or social causes. You make it easy for others in the bicycling community to be kind, compassionate cyclists.

10./ The Tandem Riders: You two are inseparable on and off the bike. Go home. You’re too cute.

11./ The Environmentalist: Though ever-improving, Pittsburgh’s air still ranks in the dirtiest 13 percent of all U.S. cities. You ride because you like clean air. You know it’s one of the simple things that you can do to improve the air quality.

12./ The Multimodalist: You’ve never understood why some Pittsburgh riders complain about the hills. “That’s what the bike rack on the bus is for,” you say. You get around the city quickly and easily with your bike by your side and your Connect Card in hand.

13./ The Franken-bike Rider: You disappeared into your basement lair only to re-emerge with two bike frames welded together. You regularly gather your pals to ride your weird bikes en masse.

14./ The Person Who Carries Everything: You’ve got the handlebar coffee cup holder mounted over your pizza rack and, though you left your heavy-duty trailer at home for the day, your rear panniers are expertly filled to brimming.

BONUS
15./ The Mountain Biker: You steal away into the woods every chance you get and love riding our region’s fantastic trails in (like North Park and Frick park). For you, it’s simple: dirt + trees > concrete + asphalt.

Happy Valentine’s Day from Bike Pittsburgh. Which type(s) of rider are you?
