As if the freedom of the open road and saving money on a gym membership weren't enough reasons to hop on a bike this Spring, we have 3 new reasons in Pittsburgh:
1) Bike Parking.
2) Google Bike Directions. Ever wondered the best way to get from Shadyside to Oakland on a bike? Now Google does the math for you, taking into account bike lanes, trails, and even hills.
3) Ray LaHood. The US Secretary of Transportation (and former Republican member of the House of Representatives) announced the following at the National Bike Summit:
What's next? Pressure on Sand Castle to relinquish the last mile of the Great Allegheny Passage? Significant Federal funding for bike trails and lanes?
3) Ray LaHood. The US Secretary of Transportation (and former Republican member of the House of Representatives) announced the following at the National Bike Summit:
"Today, I want to announce a sea change. People across America who value bicycling should have a voice when it comes to transportation planning. This is the end of favoring motorized transportation at the expense of non-motorized."

The whole lack of moving forward with the trail through the Sandcastle and Kennywood properties (both owned by Candover I believe) along the Mon is starting to wear on me. I mean how many years is this going to take?
Maybe officials should focus on completing the trail on the north shore of the Mon, past the Carrie Furnace, and link the Duck Hollow Trail with the South Side Trail via better access across the Glenwood Bridge. I think I read that Sandcastle officials thought that the master plan for the trail would be on the opposite shore as well. Given their obstructionist stance, it might be the way to go for now.
I really liked your review. Nice information! Your content unique and meaningful about it. You doing very well job!.
