Pittsburgh maintains bike lanes, protected cycle tracks, and shared-lane markings under Title 5 and Title 6. POGOH bikeshare stations operate citywide with required helmet recommendations. Cyclists follow PA Title 75 motor vehicle code on roadways.
Pittsburgh designates bike lanes along Penn Avenue, Forbes Avenue, and the Three Rivers Heritage Trail network. Protected cycle tracks operate in Downtown and Oakland. POGOH (formerly Healthy Ride) bikeshare provides docked stations across neighborhoods including Strip District, Lawrenceville, and CMU. Cyclists must obey traffic signals, ride with traffic, and use front white and rear red lights at night under PA Vehicle Code Title 75 §3501. Sidewalk riding is prohibited in the Downtown business district. Helmets are required for riders under 12.
Failure to use lights at night, sidewalk riding Downtown, and wrong-way cycling carry $25-$100 fines under PA Title 75. POGOH-bike abandonment outside stations can incur per-day rental charges.
