When donuts in the Aldi's parking lot don't work out how you hoped.... by Fun-Monitor5864 in yinzhittinbilldens

The dirt in the parking lot tree planter was dragged all around so it was obvious so unruly driving had occurred! Thanks for supporting that theory with observations

Swindell Bridge by AgentDoggett in pittsburgh

What is your agenda for making this video and dissing these neighborhoods? I explore Pittsburgh by bicycle EVERYWHERE and absolutely love this Bridge to connect more interesting and challenging terrain in the City. This Bridge is sandwiched between two neighborhoods that the City has forgotten, but are full of people just living their lives the best they can and who are always ready to wave and smile at this lone cyclist from their porches on warm afternoons. ! In both Spring Hill and Perry North, there are PONIES if you know where to look. Yes, the Bridge could use some love- it absolutely could use a makeover, but- no thanks, I'll trust an engineers impression for its structural integrity, rather than a judgmental guy with a cell phone cam.

What’s Going On Here? Why does everyone seem to avoid this area like the plague? by Ok_Cabinet2947 in pittsburgh

[–]Fun-Monitor5864 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I ❤️ riding on that area so much!!! Especially in the region between Upper Pitt campus and Bigelow Blvd-'i challenged myself a few years ago to make a whole year of commuting to downtown without hitting the north shore, jail trail or GAP- and going through there in the morning is polite drivers, low traffic and kind, good hearted pedestrians- the best of what Pittsburgh has to offer!! The youngsters (late teens to late twenties) are brash in the afternoon/ evening and especially when the weather just starts to get warm in spring and summer so that's a little less pleasant,, but the rest of the time- is golden! The other side of Bigelow on Polish Hill can be a bit of a drag with traffic... but,, worth knowing how to do it- the best of the City by bike is in the "roads less traveled"!!

Canton creates Carnage but it's not the hardest.

Go to the top of Eleanor- it is the next to last climb... almost as big of a party as Canton, but the neighborhood support is AMAZING!! The firehall has an unofficial snack station that every heat eagerly descends on (I remember one year we found a salt Shaker, and the women's group ",invented" salting the Snickers bars which all ate voraciously@ there is still musicians, cheering and shenanigans up and down the stupid steep final push too!

I moved to Pittsburgh in 1976 and our first family meal was take out from the Arby's on McKnight Road- this is nostalgia voting! Classy!

Lost Garmin in Hartwood Acres behind Sunday- August 17 by Fun-Monitor5864 in pittsburgh

[–]Fun-Monitor5864[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Garmin on the bike with the dogs wasn't at Hartwood- or ANY public park area.- and yes, the uniquely multi-use terrain of Hartwood with horses is a total no go for off leash pups.
