Truth!
There is a hard-core community of bicyclists there, especially because Pittsburgh, with its narrow streets, steep hills and cold weather, is not as amenable to casual bikers as, say, Portland.
But! Overall density, housing near neighborhood commercial areas, and lots of college students and low-income residents make it a prime location for biking to be viable. Glad they're putting in infrastructure to support it, and that they have their own bike-friendly mayor now.
I remember voting for Bill Peduto, and I remember thinking he was one the good guys.
