Just took the Bike the Burgh tour with Dave as our fearless leader. Learned an incredible amount of really interesting Pittsburgh history delivered in a way in which no one ever lost interest, and it was enjoyable til the end. If you have three hours, like to ride a bike and are interested in learning some of the fascinating history of the Burgh, don't miss this tour!

A great way to see Pittsburg, get some great history and fun facts. Dave did an excellent job, with a large group. It really is a MUST, if you have not been to or know much about Pittsburg.

Bike The Burg also provides longer term bike rentals for the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) and C&O Canal bike trails. Our experience was only positive. The rental bikes were ready for us at the agreed on time, faithfully carried us to DC without a single mishap, and were reasonably priced. The business understands the customer’s needs, delivered at every step, were easy to work with, and went well beyond expectations to meet us after business hours so we could return the rental bikes. It is no surprise we saw so many of their rental bikes on the trail.
