OpenStreetsPGH

OpenStreetsPGH is a free event series run by BikePGH.  The events invite residents, families, visitors, and friends to come out and enjoy Pittsburgh’s streets without cars.  Run, bike, walk, play, sing, dance, or just hang out and people watch.  Each month OpenStreetsPGH heads to a new neighborhood to engage new businesses, neighbors, families and friends.  Stop by one or come to all three!
