Causing A Stir: Bike Map Version 6
Our comeback story is told through the Pittsburgh Bike Map. 26 years ago the Steel City was rated as one of the three worst cities in America for bicycling. Now we're topping lists for bike commuting and a new edition of the Pittsburgh Bike Map is on its way.
Version 6 includes exciting features: the locations of all 50 Healthy Ride Stations, the locations of all of our protected bike lanes, new colors, and so much more.
