Bike Trails

Washington Boulevard Bike Track

The half-mile oval loop along Washington Boulevard is a one-of-a-kind attraction, drawing both elite cyclists and beginners to its banked corners and slight hill. Formerly a driver's training course, the velodrome accommodates track and criterium racing and time trials. Kids who are learning how to inline skate or riding their bikes or scooters can use the flat, interior surfaces. For information about events and activities, contact the Allegheny Cycling Association at www.acaracing.com or the Pittsburgh Masters Velo Club at 412-521-2207.
