  • Who: Anyone and everyone, regardless of disability status or experience level in cycling.
  • What: A fun afternoon of trying out some adaptive bicycles, tricycles, and more!
  • When: Sunday, October 4, 2026, from 1-4 PM.
  • Transportation:
    • Public Transit: The closest transit stop is at the corner of Sandusky St and Isabella St. You can ride the 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, and P13 outbound from Downtown and get off at that intersection, or you can take the 1, 6, 8, 11, 13, 15, 16, and 17 inbound, get off at Sandusky St and General Robinson St, and walk one block to Sandusky St and Isabella St. There will be volunteers at Sandusky St and Isabella St to direct or escort people from the stop to the riding location.
    • ACCESS / Drop-off: The drop-off location for ACCESS and other vehicles is 12 Federal St. There will be volunteers at the site to direct or escort people to the riding location.
    • Car: As this event is part of the Week Without Driving, we strongly encourage people to walk/roll/use public transit, but we understand that this is impractical for many people with disabilities. There is limited on-street parking available on Isabella St, and there is a paid parking lot two blocks away at 20 E General Robinson St.
  • Accessibility:
    • ASL: There will be an ASL interpreter available on-site from 1-4 PM.
    • Bathrooms: There are port-o-potties, including two accessible port-o-potties, located near the site.
    • Transferring: This activity is most suitable for people who can transfer with minimal assistance. We will have several volunteers on hand to help with basic transfers, but we will not have equipment like a Hoyer lift on-site. For those who require specialized assistance in transferring we recommend bringing along an attendant who is trained in how to best work with you.
    • Seating: There is limited seating at the site. If you cannot stand for long amounts of time, we recommend you coming with your assistive device or bringing something to sit on.
    • Masking: Masking is strongly encouraged, but not required. This is an outdoor event in a wide, well-ventilated space, but as it’s a public park we have no ability to require masking of anyone in the area.
    • Requests: If you have any other accessibility requests, please email accessmobpittsburgh@gmail.com by September 25th at the absolute latest.
  • Weather: This is a fair weather activity only! In the event of rain, we will announce that the event is canceled on this site and via our mailing list. Use the “Join Our Mailing List” link on the sidebar to subscribe.
  • Miscellaneous
    • POGOH Reservations: You do not need to have a POGOH reservation in their system to come try out one of their adaptive bikes during this event, but we ask that you please register on our Google Doc so we we have an idea of how many people we are expecting.
    • Shore Thing: Our event is right next to Riverlife‘s awesome (and accessible!) party barge! We encourage folks to head down there and check it out during or after the event!
