Ride the Rivers: Mt. Lebanon Bike Bash eBike Tour to Point State Park

On this brisk, laughter-filled eBike loop out of MT. LEBANON, you’ll trade suburban streets for riverfront panoramas in under an hour. The Mt. Lebanon Bike Bash Tour Ride! launches from MTL REC CENTER and follows paved multi-use trails into Pittsburgh, crossing iron bridges and pausing at landmarks like the USS Requin submarine and Point State Park’s triangular convergence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers. Along roughly five miles of mostly flat, e-assisted pavement, riders get a compact city tour that reads like a condensed Pittsburgh primer: neighborhood murals, riverbanks edged in sandstone riprap, and wide views of the city skyline framed by metal trusses. The experience is designed for riders sixteen and up. Guides brief first-timers on eBike controls and throttle-assist, making this a friendly introduction to electric riding without sacrificing the feeling of moving under your own power. Groups are intentionally small — caps set at twelve — so stops for photos, quick mechanical checks, and conversational history about local streetcar-era development feel relaxed rather than rushed. Mt. Lebanon’s identity as an early Pittsburgh streetcar suburb echoes in the route: former transit corridors repurposed into smooth recreational lanes, old stone retaining walls, and rows of mature maples that mark the changing seasons. What makes this ride stand out is the mix of urban infrastructure and river ecology compressed into one short loop. You’ll roll over century-old steel bridges, glimpse riparian habitat and waterfowl, and park the bikes for views at Point State Park where the three rivers join. The USS Requin — a WWII-era submarine open for tours — provides a surreal contrast to the lightweight eBikes humming nearby, making for memorable photo ops. Practical edge: wear a helmet, bring a charged phone, and arrive at MTL REC CENTER fifteen minutes before departure for a quick orientation. The pace is easy; expect roughly 30–45 minutes of riding with stops. Riders should know basic bike handling, but guides tailor support for newcomers. Cost and booking are listed with the operator; check the provided referral link for current schedules and availability. Because this ride springs from the New Bike Hub at MT. LEBANON REC CENTER, guides emphasize safety, stewardship, and a friendly pace that suits mixed groups. The route weaves past Washington Road storefronts and leafy residential blocks, then descends toward the river trails where you'll find exposed shale and occasional gentle grades. Expect frequent photo stops, a quick battery check if needed, and a final glide back to MTL REC CENTER. This short, lively outing is ideal for visitors looking to sample Pittsburgh’s riverfront character without committing to a full-day ride. It’s quick, social, and rooted in place — a tidy dose of local geology, transportation history, and skyline scenery that leaves you wanting more.
