Location/Facility: Bikes are brand new, helmets are adjustable to fit and water is provided upon your needs. Location of shop is underneath the Convention Center on Penn Ave. beside the bike path.
Needs: Bring a pair of shades and dress appropriately for the weather. Be well rested, fed and ready to explore the city.
The Ride: The city of Pittsburgh has come a long way to incorporate bikes into road traffic. You ride in a group at a leisurely pace through the city, using trails where applicable. You should be conscientious to your environment and prior experience of biking in a city is a plus but not a must.
The Tour: Val/Dave were on point. Val led the tour and provided information that, being from the city, was completely new and was awesome to learn. She had a thorough knowledge of the neighborhoods, history, architecture, art, and future projects pending. She had a great balance of knowing how to provide information in a useful and fun way without having a dull moment.
Overall: I highly recommend to anyone as the primary way to see the city. She incorporated all the key points to tie the city together with an identity that is what makes us so proud of our home. Two enthusiastic thumbs up! Keep up the good work Val and biketheburgh!
