Maidei goes on a world tour-Part 1 of the Bicycle Mystery Tour

Nice pictures. Did Maidei get a nosebleed from the heights? What an awesome view from the top of the incline.

Pittsburgh, hometown of Frank Lenz, amateur photographer who became a well known adventure cyclist in the late 1800's (fascinating story).

I kept longing to have the legs I had when I was in my 20s and my only form of transportation was my bike or my feet. Dang I had some strong legs back then. I need to move back home!

My former roommate from Pittsburgh thought my reaction to the hills when I visited her was hilarious.

Did she get the Hot Dog Labia from that thumb in her crotch?
and (purely as an aside)why are there so many Burghers in the DC area?

As the saying goes - can't swing a dead cat around here without hitting one of us. Due to lack of jobs in Pittsburgh, and the close proximity to this area. I can be home in 3.5 hrs, which is nice! I'd live in Pittsburgh now if a job was there for me to do, but alas, there is not.

I have a few hills I LOVE to drive people down when they are new to the city. Of course requiring them to yell WEEEEEEEEEEE as we fly down them. Then people ask how it is that we can run and bike around there. Admittedly, I'd have a harder time doing it now, but you also learn that it pays to go a long way around in order to avoid certain hills.
