OpenStreets PGH

Hosted by BikePGH, this free community event opens miles of Pittsburgh streets for people to walk, run, bike, and explore spaces that are usually taken up by motor vehicles.
Join us from 10 am - 2 pm! The streets will be yours!

This month, OpenStreetsPGH connects the Strip District to Lawrenceville with 3+ miles of car-free streets. Cruise Smallman St through the heart of the Strip, packed with history, famous vendors, and high energy. Then roll up Butler St into Lawrenceville, where murals, local shops, and creativity take over.

Stop by our tent at 21st and Smallman Streets (the meeting location) for info about the club and what we do! We'll have a variety of interesting skates on display, skate parts, a maintenance demo, maintenance advice, and some inline trivia!

This event is great for all levels of experience, however, you should be able to control your speed and brake as there are downslopes along the route and intersections tend to get crowded. Skate at your leisure or join us for a lap! Come and go as you please!

DISCLAIMER: Even if you do not join the club, please be advised that TRIC strongly recommends that all participants in TRIC sponsored events (including its weekly city skates) should carry medical and liability insurance and should wear protective gear (i.e., helmet, wrist guards, kneepads, elbow pads, and, at night, reflective clothing and blinking lights). Please also be advised that there are particular inherent risks of injury involved in city inline/roller skating, including, but not limited to: cars, bicycles, other skaters, pedestrians, potholes, manhole covers, chains, trolley tracks, cobblestones, bad pavement, water, oil, debris, gravel, curbs, stairs, hills and inclines. This list of possible risks is not comprehensive, because conditions on the street, including the weather, are constantly changing. TRIC cannot accept any liability for the existence of any such risks. Ultimately, each skater is responsible for staying alert to potential risks and obeying all traffic regulations. Finally, TRIC strongly recommends that all participants in TRIC sponsored events (including the city skates) possess and master a set of minimum skate skills before participating in its events: the ability to skate in control, especially on hills; to stop in traffic; to maneuver curbs; and to avoid obstacles.
