Schools are back in session and it seems like more bikes are rolling than ever. Fall is one of POGOH’s busiest seasons as university students return to campuses around Pittsburgh and look to 2 wheels to get to class, explore Pittsburgh’s riverfront trails, and hit restaurants, museums, football games, and everywhere in between. The energy is high and so is our daily ride count!
In 2024, the University of Pittsburgh community accounted for more than 70% of POGOH’s annual rides. Over the last few years this partnership has grown significantly and challenged our operations crew to make sure stations are stocked, the e-assist bikes are charged, and that we have stations where university students and staff need to go. In 2026, POGOH will be launching new stations around Pittsburgh, many of which will directly support our university community. Want to learn more about the upcoming expansion and how it can support your commute? Check out POGOH’s expansion page!
POGOH is also challenged to make sure that new riders know how to safely and confidently navigate Pittsburgh’s streets by bike. We’re partnering with our friends at Bike Pittsburgh along with our awesome university communities for Bike to Campus Week, Sept 7-12 to offer a comprehensive week of classes, group rides, events, and other fun bike-y festivities.
You can also pick up a BikePGH Bike Map at any POGOH station to help you navigate the city. Online maps are great, but only the BikePGH Bike Map has all of the bike lanes, neighborways, trails, and other infrastructure on your route. You can also check out the official Biking 101 Guide to learn more about urban biking and Pittsburgh specific rules and regulations.
