Q: Where can I keep my bike on campus?
|
|
A: Pitt students have a variety of options about bike storage, including outdoor bike boxes, standard outdoor bike racks, and your dorm or apartment.
For incoming freshmen the dorm or apartment storage is the preferable method and continues so for the rest of your stay at Pitt. We encourage you keep
your bike indoors out of the elements and near to you so that your bicycle is protected.

Q: What is riding like in Pittsburgh?
|
|
A: Riding in Pittsburgh is excelent. Located on the edge of the appalachian mountains,
Pittsburgh and its surrounding areas are home to many beautiful views and great riding.
The university is situated next to Schenley Park home to some fantastic trails and Frick Park is not much further away.
The only blight on cycling at Pitt is the city itself. Riding within the city limits can be difficult and dangerous, however we as a club have strict
rules about group rides in urban areas and we provide valuable teaching on safe and efficent city riding, making the dangerous city as tame as a midwestern corn field.
