Pedal Pittsburgh takes place on Sunday, May 17 and offers 3 different bike routes to see the city. You can bike the route your self or take a guided tour.

Check out this post from 2006 that links to a list of steepest hills in the city.

All of the proceeds from Pedal Pittsburgh support the CDCP – the Community Design Center of Pittsburgh which is a non profit organization dedicated to good design in Pittsburgh – they offer lots of great support and services to people looking to remodel or do historic restoration on their homes.
