I rode my bike across Anderson bridge today (It's closed to car traffic during repairs, but open to pedestrians and bikes).
It's nice to have car-free roads.
I'd like to see some permanent ones.

So long awkward bridge pillar! I won't miss navigating around this absurd little bottleneck twice a day.
This small stretch of the bike path will be closed for the next six months while they build the Point Park Connector to bypass this. Detour through downtown is mildly annoying, but definitely worth it.
Is it weird that I feel a bit of fondness for this quirky little obstacle? First they drain Eagle Lake, then they bypass the bridge pillar -- They're taking all the character out of biking in Pittsburgh!

The path between Mon Wharf and the Point will be closed starting Feb 1 for about six months for the construction of the Point State Park Connector:

This will solve the fix the problem of the narrow path around the bridge pillar.
Anyone riding the Icycle Bicycle tomorrow - I will see you there.

On Oct 31, #FriendsOfTheRiverfront temporarily closed a half mile section of the #GAPTrail to fix the ponding issue by the eagle viewing area (dubbed #EagleLake). It is expected to reopen in approximately 3 more weeks.
#Pittsburgh #Bike advocate, Paul Heckbert, posted this helpful detour via #GlenwoodBridge (NOTE: There are stairs):

I can’t find any of my local #Pittsburgh #Bike Twitter follows on Mastodon. Until I recreate a network of #PGHBikers to follow here, I plan to regularly post #PGHBike info using these hashtags, boosting any toots that use these hashtags, and following anyone who uses them.
Starting with this: Today’s PGH #CriticalMass has been postponed due to rain and has been rescheduled for next Friday 11/18 at 6:00pm in Friendship Park.
