Meetup people: I Big Kahuna aka Frank :-) usually do two of these a year.
Will be doing the 1st one in May. Not sure which one after that...
Great way to meet others. Be Safe n Have FUN n don't be a JAGOFF!
You do have to be a lil in shape or this will kick your butt, it's slow but occassionally some hills (Liberty Ave into Bloomfield is nothing to laugh at) but be persistent and you'll get better. Usually 7-20 mile rides.

Pittsburgh Underwear Bike Ride LOTS OF FUN!
UNDERWEAR BIKE RIDE - LAST THURSDAY OF MAY-OCTOBER - MEET ON THE CORNER OF BUTLER AND 46TH @ 7:30PM Rolling @ 8:00PM
https://www.facebook.com/PghUnderwearBikeRide
An A to B ride (you don't start end at same place) with people ride bikes in their underwear (sometimes skimpy, most of the time not a big deal).
If the weather is good, there are usually 150-400 riders. We ride slow and safe.
Happens Last Thursday of Every Month meeting at corner of 46th Street and Butler Street in Lawrenceville.
If you go to a couple of these, you will make friends. Make sure to join the Facebook group, they do other bike events too.
MY ADVICE:
1. Make sure bike is ready to ride. Pump up tires, Lube up chains and brake cables etc.
2. Since A to B ride, recommend parking at end and riding to the beginning so you don't have to ride back to the start in the dark.
So if you still don't understand we don't start and end at the same place.
3. Be respectful to your fellow bikers, this is just a slow bike ride and a TON OF FUN! Don't be a JAGOFF!
4. The October Bike Ride is a COSTUME RIDE! For Halloween!
5. HAVE A WATER BOTTLE OR CAMELBACK YOU WILL GET THIRSTY!

The underwear bike ride is about having fun Bicycle advocacy and promoting a positive self-body image.
