Beautiful bikes! A little OT but I wish someone would collect all these
photos and print them on playing cards. I love staring at Rivs and how
everyone sets them up. Love to look at all the configurations of bags,
racks, lights, saddles, bars.
I'm not from there but my friend lived there
Bob,
Sorry for the drop off. Massive undertakings in my basement predicated by
our all at once snowmelt, the two days of rain accompanying non-freezing
temps along with a big intrusion of hyperlocal ground water flow by the
city (we have a lot of clay soil in my neighborhood). I am valuing
Another nod to Nick at Fern Hollow...not as convenient as he was when he
was located in Lawrenceville, but worth the ride. If you’re looking to do
some riding outside of the city itself, you can cross the Allegheny River
and ride in Fox Chapel and the surrounding area. Decent coffee stops at
Andy and Rusty, thanks for the recommendations. I'm staying on the north side
and so far I've been exploring the bike paths up and down the river. I've made
it to the ends of the trails on the north side, but haven't explored the south
side down to the GAP yet. That's on my list this week. I've
Bob,
I would suggest checking out Kraynicks but they might still be doing the
majority of their work outdoors as the space is rather confined. Still
worth checking out and Rocky is a nice guy that will help you out with
anything. The previous owner was quite a character too. For an historic
Hello Bob!
I hope you're enjoying Pittsburgh. Like Andy and Rusty, I'm a fan of
Kindred on Penn in the Strip District. I've also used the Iron City Bikes
Butler Street location quite a bit, since it's several blocks from my
house. Fern Hollow is further east out in Point Breeze--I always
Hi Bob.
I'll put in a strong vote for Kindred Cycles on Penn Avenue in the Strip
District. Despite the concentration of students and universities there are
not the tier of bike shops near campus you'd expect.One was Iron City Bikes
on S. Bouquet but have consolidated into their Butler St.
Hi Bob, and welcome to town!
I have two recommendations for you if you are staying in/near town. They
are Kindred Cycles at approximately 25th and Smallman in The Strip district
(near downtown proper), and my LBS of choice is Thick Bikes on the
Southside on 15th near Carson.
There are others if
Hi folks! I'm visiting Pittsburgh for a few weeks and I've been enjoying
biking around town on my 62cm Appaloosa. The bike infrastructure here is
world class. If anybody else is interested in the group ride Andy mentioned
above, they're called Team Decaf and you can find them
at
Josh,
A riding group in Pittsburgh, although yet to declare a start to the usual
Tuesday rides beginning in April. They've met at the coffee shop on N.
Highland Ave. in Highland Park. All sorts and levels of riders. Neither a
lycra drop ride, nor a tweed, sandal and sock ride either. All of
Thanks for the Pittsburgh post. Born and raised in Mt Oliver, but been
away for a longer time, but always enjoy Pittsburgh.
I always thought a ride down to Coraopolois and then riding the Montour
trail would be nice. Coraopolis can be reached via Wabash/Sheridan to the
Rocks, and then
Welcome Josh! Great looking bikes.
I ride around da 'Burgh on a 62 Atlantis or my 60 S. Hillborne however,
this year has kept me mostly in the S. Hills. While I don't commute on my
bike (retired), I love riding out to various spots to find neighborhood
coffee shops, bakeries, see the eagles,
Thanks for the welcomes!
Roberta: bite-sized GAP rides sound like a good idea. My wife and I are
thinking of doing a one-night ride on the GAP this summer. I had assumed we
would just leave from town and try to make it to Ohiopyle, but maybe we
should consider driving out and starting somewhere
Welcome Josh, from another orange Rivendell rider in Pittsburgh. I usually
commute year round east end to CHP but have been off all winter following
some non-bike related shoulder surgery.
I'll contribute to finding some non-commuting rides this spring as I get
back on the bike. It's
Welcome.
I was out to Pittsburgh about 1 1/2 years ago for business and I bought my
bike. Each day, I started at a different point on the GAP for a day ride,
went south 10-15 miles and then back, as my hotel was in Pittsburgh. It
was 90*+ but you have some nice shade on that trail, and some
Welcome!
Cool bikes!
My wife and I visited Pittsburgh a few years ago and brought our bikes.
Lots of hills, lots of busses, but we had a great time pedaling around a
new city.
I moved to a new town a three years ago and my daily bike commute stopped
being a daily thing. I found that
