Pittsburgh is emerging as a leader in urban mountain biking. The city is blessed with hilly terrain and a lot of willing volunteers to build and maintain trails.

We are lucky to have so many mountain biking options in the city and surrounding suburbs. It is really so much fun to own a mountain bike in Pittsburgh!

Yes, indeed it is! What do you do this time of year when the trails are pretty much impassable? I just started riding a Kaiser bike at the gym using my own guided imagery, visualizing trails that I often run. My hope is to maintain some conditioning until conditions improve

This time of year you can ride trails if it is cold enough to be frozen. Also snow helps once it gets packed in (but we don't seem to get snow these days).

Thanks. I just started out last year so am new to it all. Trails out my way have been frozen maybe 10% of the time this winter. Here's to a dry spring!

Petrotainment on two (or more) wheels! I'd say this jus about is the antithesis of what I love about riding in the woods. :-)

Pittsburgh is an easy place to ride a mountain bike year around on most trails. I love riding in the snow and often do...well when it used to snow here. lol

Pgh is one of the best areas for mountain biking, no question. I don't do it in winter, but from April tp November it cannot be beat. Denver? smh. no way Phoenix? ok in fall or spring. Utah, great in summer but Pgh wins for 9 month biking/ OK upstate NY is awseome too but not near a city like PGH. San Fran? yes you can do it there but it's not like being in nature Golden Gate park doesn't really cut it.


Seattle or Portland IDK just being honest

Pittsburgh is one of the most underrated cities/metros for outdoor recreation in the nation.
