Our Vision
Bike Pittsburgh envisions our city as a thriving metropolis built on a dynamic multimodal transportation network that facilitates biking throughout the city. Residents and visitors can navigate the city safely and conveniently by bike; our unique topography and street layout are viewed as beautiful and interesting assets rather than challenges. It is possible to live in Pittsburgh without a car; biking is seen not just as a recreational activity but as a viable mode of transportation, and residents participate in cycling as part of a healthy and active lifestyle. People are not afraid to ride bicycles anywhere in the city. In fact, it is seen as a preferred mode of travel. Pittsburgh will become an international model of a former rust-belt industrial center transformed into a green, sustainable, bike-friendly city.
