The 2019 Dirty Dozen Bike Race is this Saturday, October 26

October 24, 2019 Lindsay

One of my favorite things in Pittsburgh that I think more Pittsburghers should know about is the Dirty Dozen Bike Race. The race is usually held the Saturday after Thanksgiving, but for 2019, the race has been moved up a month to October! I’ve updated all of my old posts with new information over on Very Local, everything you need to know about the history of the race and being a spectator is all right here. We’ve also published a video about Jeremiah Sullivan, he’s the guy who has successfully completed the Dirty Dozen race on a Healthy Ride Bike.… Read the rest

January 5, 2018 Ben

It’s probably not cool to nerd out about transportation, but boy howdy did we ever at the Western PA Mobility Showcase hosted by City of Pittsburgh Department of Mobility and Infrastructure (DOMI). The Showcase, held in Oakland at Pitt’s Alumni Hall, featured everything from autonomous vehicles to bike-shares to other futuristic stuff like a hyperloop proposal as well as a super sweet electric car. In a release announcing the event, the Director of DOMI, Karina Ricks, outlined the importance of the Showcase, saying “transportation is radically changing.

Kraynick’s Bike Shop & A Beautiful Bicycle Restoration Video

November 14, 2017 Lindsay

krayniks bicycle restorationThis video just popped up on the Pittsburgh subreddit and it is worth 5 minutes of your time. It is a beautiful little story about how the filmmaker, Dean Bogdanovic, purchased an old bike on Craigslist and fixed it up at Kraynick’s Bike Shop in Garfield. This video checks all of the boxes for me… pretty Pittsburgh pictures, check, a story about locally owned business, check, vintage bicycles, check (I have a hot pink one in my basement waiting for a restoration). This five-minute video is a delight to watch. Even if you aren’t a regular cyclist or bicycle collector,… Read the rest
