Pittsburgh, always likable, is growing ever more bikeable. New bike lanes and trails keep being added, cyclists and motorists keep learning to coexist, and new riders are finding that hills aren’t a drawback; they’re fun. The nonprofit organization Bike Pittsburgh (stylized BikePGH(opens in new tab)) does a lot to move the evolution along—one part of which is putting on the big annual bike-a-palooza called PedalPGH(opens in new tab). This is the day with mega-multiple group rides, from a 10-mile “local loop” to a 53-miler that goes all around the region. It’s the day when you see people on bikes freakin’ everywhere. PedalPGH is sponsored by UPMC Health Plan. This year marks the event’s 31st anniversary, and although biking at any time is free, registering officially for PedalPGH buys you a ton of perks. You’re in on the group ride of your choice, with “amazing snacks” at rest stops. There’s a t-shirt and merch; there’s a festival at the start/finish line. Above all, your fee helps BikePGH continue its work in bicycle advocacy and education. Registered riders can start at any point on their route. The start/finish line will be at Allegheny Commons Park on the North Side. (M.V.)
