Day 2: 20 mi bicycle tour of Pittsburgh
Bicycles unpacked and put together for s great advertisement for Bike Friday bikes made in Eugene. And it was a beautiful day for a bicycle tour on the bike paths of Pittsburgh . Try not to do too much comparing this place to home, but they do have bridges here. I counted 14 with 5 of them painted yellow and 3 of them with the exact same design. The rivers were once only seen as a place for industrial waste or transportation are beginning to be appreciated as a source of beauty. The waters edge is lined primarily with business enterprises rather than residences. Malls and tall office buildings have replaced abandoned steel manufacturing, with contaminated soil covered with a foot of topsoil, grass, concrete or blacktop. Pittsburgh has emerged slowly from the age of steel making to a center for the health industry and related technology and research. Ate lunch/dinner at Over The Bar a bicycle themed pub with lots of healthy choices.
