Cycle Through Pittsburgh
$20.00
Cycle Through Pittsburgh's Industrial Heritage is an active and eco-friendly excursion that takes participants on a trail-side ride through Pittsburgh's industrial past and present. The tour takes advantage of local riverside trails to give riders a look at industry from the vantage point of its development along the Monongahela River.
After meeting at Bessemer Court at Station Square, the group progresses at a leisurely pace through the South Side, across the Hot Metal Bridge, and through a typical workers neighborhood before looping back to Station Square along the Eliza Furnace Trail. At various stops along the route, guides identify and discuss the visible vestiges of former industrial sites and share stories of the workers who once made this region the Steelmaking Capital of the World. Trail access allows visitors to view several remnants of industry that remain hidden from everyday sight.
Parking is available at Station Square (fees vary) or use the trail parking lot at the end of S. 4th Street and ride down to meet us. You must have your own bike and helmet; water bottles are recommended.
