Cyclists of all levels explored the Steel City

With four different route lengths to choose from, all ages and fitness levels were able to find a suitable cycling adventure. Routes ranged from 10 to 62 miles and showcased Pittsburgh’s unique neighborhoods and incredible views while also celebrating the city’s bicycle infrastructure.

“PedalPGH is our nonprofit’s largest annual fundraiser so it’s always a pretty meaningful day for us. But after two years of virtual and hybrid events… I can’t express how special it was to see folks show up like we had never been away. Seeing thousands of people there in-person once again… all different ages, new and seasoned riders, all together. It’s just a really wonderful feeling. ” said Kéya Joseph, Events Director at BikePGH.
