Two route ideas for a weekday or weekend bike ride around the Pittsburgh area. The first ride starts on the Montour Trail, boards the Port Authority "T" at Library Station and exits at Station Square.  Then to the South Side Trail to lunch spots 5 miles down Carson Street. Then back to your car.  

The alternate route starts where you park your car and you take the "T" to Gateway Station downtown, then to bus #21 to Coraopolis where you get on the Montour trail and ride back to your car. A big circle, but a fun late summer or fall ride. (Be sure to check Post Authority schedules for "T" and bus21 time tables. New schedules may post on September first.)
