Pittsburgh has an annual event, Light Up Night, to kick off the holiday season with live music, a Christmas market, food trucks and fireworks. The temperature was in the upper 40's, but the air was calm so I decided to take my first night-time ride in the city. Here are a few photos:
Rachel Carson Bridge from the downtown side of the Allegheny
Cityscape from across the Allegheny River and the Northshore Trail with the fireworks barge on the river
The Andy Warhol Bridge
I was running two Cygolite Metro lights on the front (950 and 700) and a Planet Bike rear blinky. I felt secure and safe but I stayed out of the crowds with the bike and mostly rode quiet back streets and trails. It was a fun night and a short but enjoyable ride.
