The Top 50 Bike Friendly Cities were chosen by a number of factors, including the existence of segregated bike lanes and municipal bike racks. All of the Pittsburgh Authority Garages have bike racks. The Century Building downtown offers secure, covered bike parking inside re-purposed shipping containers. For $100 per year, you can rent a place inside. Also, there is a large number of free, outdoor covered bike parking at this location. The University of Pittsburgh offers bike parking and secure bike lockers, where you can store your bike, helmet, and shoes all in one place. Carnegie Mellon offers the same. Hundreds of Three River Bike Racks are already set up throughout the city. These unique public art racks provide parking for two bikes each. In 2010, there were five miles of bike lanes and sharrows already in Pittsburgh, with a promise of 25 more in the next two years. Bike PGH, a non-profit cycling group in Pittsburgh, also provides bicycle valet parking for some of the large events in the city.
