Handheld Bike Map
Brand new 2009 Pittsburgh Bike Map Now available. Lots of updates and additions!There is also a Premium, Rip-proof, waterproof version version available, see below for details.
The last on-street bike map produced in Pittsburgh came out in 1992 – back when Sophie Masloff was Mayor. We’ve changed that, and produced the definitive bike map for the city.
Pittsburgh has no traditional urban grid pattern, and the streets that transect the city tend to be busy with fast moving traffic. Also, the lower-traffic routes tend not to connect neighborhoods, or are very steep hills. Our map is designed with the commuter and urban explorer in mind, in the hopes that folks can learn some safer routes between neighborhoods, as well as explore some new territory.
Bike Pittburgh’s map contains a graphic novel depicting a safe commute and locations of major hills, landmarks, and trails. We also identify and mark unavoidable stretches of road that are hazardous where people are to ride with “Caution.” For these areas, we provide information on who to contact to lobby for safer streets.
The “Sophie Map” was produced and funded by the City of Pittsburgh, an arrangement common in most urban areas that try to encourage bicycle transport. Bike Pittsburgh produced this new map with funding provided by the Heinz Endowments. Map cartography by deepLocal with illustrations by Glen Johnson.
Believe us, you’ll want one hanging in your living room next to the family portrait, maybe even above it.
In addition to the free map (available at the locations below), we produced a Premium Pittsburgh Bike Map. This map was printed on rip-proof, waterproof paper and is sure to stand the rigors of your bag.
