2015 Two Wheels Lots of Green - a Bike Tour of Urban Green Spaces

You don't need to venture outside of the city to get your fix of green.

Held in conjunction with Bike PGH’s Bike Fest, this year’s ride will take place on Pittsburgh’s Northside. Riders will tour community-based greening projects and meet the people who made these projects possible throughout Northside's 18 diverse neighborhoods. Each one of these stops will have a community host that will take you on a tour of space and explain the project's role in the revitalization of the neighborhood. The tour will end with an after party at Wigle Whiskey Barrelhouse, a former vacant lot in the Northside’s Spring Garden neighborhood.
