Over the last three decades, PedalPGH has raised awareness about making city streets safer and more bikeable for everyone. This year, BikePGH celebrates the 30-year milestone of the celebration with what events director Kéya Joseph calls “ a joyful journey through the city’s hidden gems, iconic landmarks, and breathtaking views.” Taking place on Sun., Aug. 27, PedalPGH will take participants from the North Side’s grassy getaway, Allegheny Commons Park, over several different routes, and back again. Bicyclists can choose from the seven-mile BikePGH River Loop, the 25-mile Steel City Media Local Tour, the 40-mile Outside and Grand Tour, or the 62-mile U.S. Steel Epic Endurance Challenge. Both foot-powered and electric-assisted bikes are welcome. Along the way, riders will find rest stops and first aid stations sponsored by UPMC Health Plan, the event’s main sponsor. “UPMC Health Plan is honored to once again be the title sponsor of PedalPGH,” says Dr. James Schuster, UPMC Health Plan’s chief medical officer, in a press release. “The event is a great way to get outdoors, enjoy a healthy activity, and experience the region’s best new in-city bike infrastructure.”
