PITTSBURGH—Nearly 60 bicycling activists tied up traffic during the evening rush hour on Friday August 30. The cyclists demanded recognition of their vehicles, forcing cars, trucks, and SUVs to acknowledge their presence and right to the road.


The ride’s route snaked from Oakland in front of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History down 5th Avenue to Downtown Pittsburgh. The ride then crossed the Smithfield Bridge into the South Side. From South Side, the ride crossed the Hot Metal Bridge back into Oakland, ending at the starting point.


The mood of the ride was festive as riders received cries of support from onlookers and sometimes motorists.
