On Saturday, June 8th, Troop 482 travelled to Pittsburgh for our first Urban Bike Hike! We started with a hearty breakfast at Eat-n-Park. Then it was on to Mt. Washington at the top of the Duquesne Incline, which some of our boys chose to ride up and enjoy the view. We got to see the sights of Pittsburgh, some of which included Mt. Washington, Station Square, Downtown, Point State Park, 3 Rivers Arts Festival, PNC Park, Heinz Field, Carnegie Science Center, and many more.
We learned about urban road safety as well as patching and changing an inner tube! It was a great day! Thanks to Mr. Deemer and all the leaders and parents who helped plan and make this event possible!
