NEW! Join us for Pedal Pittsburgh 2006 as we introduce our new 6-mile all-trial ride, sponsored by Highmark. It's a perfect way for families and recreational cyclists to enjoy the day!

Pedal Pittsburgh is the region's premier cycling event celebrating design, health & fitness, and urban lifestyles. This fun, educational bicycle ride draws over 2,000 riders annually, and highlights the neighborhoods and design landmarks that make Pittsburgh unique. A ride, not a race, Pedal Pittsburgh offers a variety of course options ranging from 6 to 60 miles to accommodate everyone from recreational riders to hard-core fitness enthusiasts.

Our six courses provide the oportunity to see first hand how good design improves the quality of life in the Pittsburgh region.

Proceeds from the event benefit the Community Design Center of Pittsburgh (CDCP). The CDCP is a non-profit organization that improves the quality of life in the Pittsburgh region by encouraging good design of the built environment. We do this by investing in strategic projects, helping individuals and communities access architecture and planning resources, and educating the public about the impact of design.
