Leah: I can't vouch for chatting up your sister and husband about biking here, I do it a lot. It's just a great place to be able to live, work, and ride all the places you need if you have the inclination.
I just love riding around the places I don't get to see on my commute, like the Strip District and downtown. I work in upper Lawrenceville and live east of there, but have lots of ways to and from town I enjoy. A new Green Boulevard is under way along the Allegheny River extending from Downtown, beyond Lawrenceville to the Highland Park Zoo, I live on the high ground above there. It is possible to actually commute in a more timely manner by bike in many situations here. Even this winter (-5°F this morning), I still look forward to hopping on my bike to head out to work and riding home.
