Last year I bought a very basic mountain bike - one of those $150 deals from Target. I had foolishly thought that doing the road through Riverview Park (
149 River View Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15212 to River View Ave - Google Maps) was a great idea until I realized it was a long gradual climb for half of it, and then just coasting downhill for the other half.
I also tried the loop in North Park -
Unknown road to Unknown road - Google Maps
This was much flatter and just about 5 miles around. Does anyone know of any other good (flat) loops to bike around in the area?
