Join us for the Release Party and Office Warming, 4.21.10
Our award-winning Pittsburgh Bike Map, now in its third edition, has arrived!
There are several changes and updates for this printing, most notably the map now displays a major product of our advocacy efforts - the new bike lanes and sharrows that have been hitting the streets!
All good things deserve a celebration, so please join us at our new location in Lawrenceville to warm up the new office and pick up a copy of the latest bike map.
Snacks, refreshments, and beer from the East End Brewing Company will be provided.

Bicycling Magazine: Pittsburgh goes from one of the worst cities for cycling in the nation to 28th best
|
| 
Pittsburgh makes the Bike-Friendly City List
Here's a list we never thought we'd be on only eight years ago - when
people would tell us we were crazy for trying to start a bicycle advocacy organization because no one rides bikes in
Pittsburgh. Well, 1,100 members later, Bicycling magazine, who once
ranked Pittsburgh among the worst cities in the country to ride a bike, just
ranked us 28th best - inched out by Milwaukee, Boston, and Philadelphia.
Bicycling Magazine noted some BikePGH initiatives as reasons for the increased rank.
