Biking
Biking is a convenient, healthy, environmentally friendly, and low-cost way to travel to and around campus.
Bike-Friendly University
The University of Pittsburgh is one of 190 universities affiliated with The League of American Bicyclists. Currently, we hold the League's Bronze Bicycle-Friendly University Designation (BFU) for our work in promoting and enabling safe, accessible bicycling on campus. We are committed to improving upon our current BFU status and are aiming to achieve Silver BFU status by 2020 and Gold BFU status by 2025. We are working to improve our BFU status by partnering with Healthy Ride to provide students, faculty, and staff on Pitt's Oakland campus with free access to the city's bike share program; convening the University's first Active Mobility Committee; and expanding our bike parking options across campus.
