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 7 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 special day for us, but being in the new location this year was just absolutely perfect… thousands of people enjoying the day and celebrating their rides all together in Allegheny Commons Park at the end. It was just a really wonderful feeling. ” said Kéya Joseph, Events Director at BikePGH.
