The mountain biking in Pittsburgh, PA, has changed quite a bit over the past 20 years. With much of the trail mileage hidden among the towns parks, local riders have experienced the gamut from rogue trails that would often get torn out, to being chased by armed police officers for simply riding their bikes. However, the local riders organized together, formed Trail Pittsburgh, and paralleled the hard working, blue collar roots of the steel city and built their own, legal, official trails. Today, riders are able to enjoy over 200 miles of single and double track thanks to the work of Trail Pittsburgh and its volunteer army.
