This tour is perfect if you are new to the city and you would like to see the most interesting spots of Pittsburgh. But if you know the Burgh already, we promise you that you will still find out unknown historical facts!

Our "Best of": On this tour we will cruise through the streets of the Financial and Cultural district, explore the Strip District and check out the North Shore. We will find some details that some of you all drove and walked by hundreds of time but probably never really noticed. We will dive into the history of Pittsburgh, tracking down the people who shaped this city to what it is today: a beauty. Old and new buildings, city squares and public art will turn this ride into a unique event full of exciting (re)discoveries of The Burgh.

A fun QUIZ will be part of this tour, too. The winner will be rewarded with a 30% discount at the next tour! Participants of this tour will also get a souvenir. 

Bike to the Ballgame

PLEASE NOTE: No need to attend the ballgame to be part of this tour. It is a similar route than the Beauty of the Burgh Tour. Even if you are not going to the game, you will see the same sights, just in a different order. Those who go to the ballgame, will be dropped off near PNC Park/Heinz Field about 45-30 mins before the game starts. Other tour participants will be brought back to the starting point.

So let's first peruse the best parts of the city, and then bike over to PNC Park/Heinz Field to enjoy the game. The tour will cover the financial & cultural district of the Golden Triangle as well as the Strip (Market District) and end near the stadium. Get your exercise in before you will be sitting for hours. You will be dropped off at the ballpark in time, so that you won't miss the game and all the warm-up rituals. :-) No worries, you won't be sweaty as we will only be riding on flat territory. So, get your fan gear on and bike to the ballpark with us! Absolute best part: Everyone will get a free can of beer at the end! :-) Let's go, Bucs! or, starting in August: Go, Steelers!
