BIKEPGH MESSAGE BOARD ARCHIVE

Same time frame Highland Park to Oakland, about 15

Only one north of Millvale, but I was traveling in fairly late (9:30-10).

This morning, around 7:10- 7:15 am, 1 commuter, who got off the O1 bus at Stanwix and then got on the Penn Ave bike lane. Given that the O1 route is a glorified parking lot shuttle (I think it just picks up people at the Ross park and ride and then heads downtown via the HOV lane, with no stops in between), this guy may have driven, bussed and ridden on the way to work. Or he rode his bike to the Park and Ride and got on the bus there. Either way, nice job dude. PS: I generally don't bike to work, I take the bus, so I'll likely won't see as many cyclist commuters as I would if I did. Still, I usually see a couple of folks turning off from Stanwix onto Penn while I'm on my way to my bus stop, plus the aforementioned cyclist coming off one of the O1 buses.

Weirdly, even out here (I'm in Monroeville) I'm starting to see a trickle of commuters. There's one guy I see sometimes on Mosside Boulevard. So far, my count for the year is 11 adult cyclists east of Turtle Creek.

I think it's easier to get a sense in the morning, when it's more likely the recreational riders aren't out yet. That said, seems like the growth of utility/commuters is substantial, even from small anecdotal observations. Is there any recent data that has been released in regards to the cyclist counts that periodically occur?

2 commuters and a roadie. 8:10-8:35 (I did come in via the Strip/Convention Center/North Side trails, so I didn't see the Penn Ave folks)

3 between 530am and 555am

@RustyRed, was said roadie carrying a backpack? I know a few people that commute in roadie mode and either carry their stuff in a backpack or already have their work clothes at the office. @JZ the most recent counts, at least for downtown, can be found here, starting at page 51: http://issuu.com/envisiondowntown/docs/pspl_results_oct_2015_lowres/51?e=24155831/34479610

Out of towner here... I lose track after counting about 50 commuters on my typical 5 mile commute from Brooklyn to Manhattan, NYC!

@chrishent cool, thx.

Into Oakland on Ellsworth as well as Bayard, saw at least 6-7 in a 10 minute span.

"@RustyRed, was said roadie carrying a backpack?" Nope: http://imgur.com/A1n5BGY

Crossing the Ft Duquesne Bridge around 5:10 pm, must have been four of us on the bridge, at least, at the same time.

2 this morning, at corner of Penn and Stanwix between 0705 and 0715. Both multimodal, with one coming from the O1 bus and the other one from the Gateway T station. @mmfs, this reminds me of when I went to San Francisco last year. Taken at Market St around 8 am on a Monday, a constant stream of cyclists: https://www.flickr.com/gp/68912815@N04/0U0w31

Last night, into Oakland around 9 PM, I saw at least 10. 3 turning off of Morewood onto Ellsworth, one on Ellsworth at Aiken, three in the Bayard Bike lane near Neville, one in the Schenley Protected bike lane, and three in the Bigelow Bike lane near Schenley Plaza.

@Jonawebb; I saw two adult cyclists (not together) on Mosside and Haymaker Roads in Monroeville last evening. One was a young woman heading north on Mosside near Forbes Hospital. The other was a man heading south on Haymaker, about a half a mile south of the hospital.

4/21/16 Saw a bunch going through the East End, Point Breeze, Squill area around 8AM while I was driving. A few riders who looked like they were rec riders on EFT/Jail Trail at around 10AM. Lots moving around downtown, though, including PAT bus w/ one mounted on the rack in front.

4/21/16. Not many until I got to Liberty Ave, but in total probably around 20-25 @ 0830-0930 this morning. Wilkinsburg to South Side.
