Our Story

This group is all about riding together. Whether you've ridden the 60 miler at PedalPgh or haven't rode a bike since you were a kid (me a few years ago!), you're welcome here. 

Around after covid things were letting up, I decided I wanted to ride my bike again. I hadn't rode since I was in my teens, before college, and thought it was a good time as ever to get more active. My daughter had been born a few months before and I wanted to take better care of myself so that I'll be around for her as she grows up.

Being that I hadn't ridden my bike since I was young, I wanted to find others to ride with, maybe get some tips and improve on my riding ability. I went on a few casual rides with the Give Up group and had a blast. They're an amazing group who are very welcoming and friendly. But I wanted to start my own group that was closer to home and focused more on the local trails such as the Montour and GAP, but with the same values. So South Hills Cyclists was born. As you can guess, I live in the South Hills, Castle Shannon specifically. 

So if you're looking for some friendly/neighborly people to ride with, with absolutely no pressure to keep up (we won't give you the chance to fall behind 🙂), we're the group for you! Feel free to connect via the social links at the bottom of the page or email me, I'm always happy to respond.
