Anything but the car! I live in a car-infested suburb but hardly ever drive, and explain how I do that. The car is Plan G after WFH, walk, bike, bus, electric motor scooter, motorcycle.

#Coffeeneuring2025 excursion #6: The soon-to-close Eat’n Park on the southbound side of McKnight Road. There’s an identical but larger Eat’n Park a half mile away on the other side of the 6-lane stroad. I don’t bike here often bc of the wheel-eating drain grate directly in the path of travel.

#Coffeeneuring2025 trip #5: To the South Side close to the river where it’s flat. Rented a @pogohbikes.bsky.social bike in front of Gateway Center and rode it over to Big Dog Café off South 27th Street. Got a PSL & a cookie!

Broken drain grate at the corner of Forbes & Murray in Squirrel Hill big enough an adult’s foot can easily fall into it. Same corner as the library but closer to the corner. Please replace with safer design.

Rented a @pogohbikes.bsky.social bike and pedaled (correct, no e-bike for me!) out to the West End, to get a cup of coffee at Cafe412. That’s the corner of S. Main and Sanctus out the window. #Coffeeneuring2025 2/

Toured the Fort Pitt Museum while we were downtown. Outside it (as seen from inside) is the enormous 13-star flag next to the Blockhouse, the oldest building west of the Alleghenies. 2/

For #Coffeeneuring2025 trip number 1, coffee and applesauce (more lunch to follow) at Eat’n Park at the Waterfront. This one will count as my distant diagonal trip since it’s beyond the Homestead High-Level Bridge.

We made it! No traffic issues. Just a 100-yard walk from the bus to the line to get in. Made it in plenty of time. (The stage at Heinz Hall in Pittsburgh, awaiting the arrival of Dr. Fauci.)

Randomly placed tree surrounded by in a medical building parking lot. Cannot park either a bicycle or motorcycle here, either. The m/c looks tiny compared to the parking space it has to occupy.

Empty space under the staircase next to the ground floor entrance to a medical office. Ideal for bicycle parking. No bike rack in sight outside.

This isn’t exactly a furbaby but is the big warm pillow I stick my feet under when I go to bed each night. Also my phone’s background photo. Does this work?

Are they scrapping 6505 on the spot or is it just collapsing upon itself? Roof and sides are gone. (ICYMI it burned on April 29 when a storm brought down a live wire atop it while parked in front of the garage and they had to let it burn bc the whole bus was electrified.) 3/

Crossing 19 at Abbeyville is easy and the inbound bus stop is right there. There is some car traffic into the business right at the stop, and downhill/inbound 19 traffic is ferocious, but you’re OK if you stand right at the bus stop sign. 32/
