Move over San Francisco. Bike enthusiasts in the Midwest should look no further than Pittsburgh if they want to train on some steep terrain. Pittsburgh is made up of hills, rivers, and valleys making for some interesting (and extremely hilly) roads. To properly appreciate these hills, be sure to ride the Duquesne Incline up Mount Washington. The views at the top are fantastic! 4.Pittsburgh could be the next Hollywood. Okay, so maybe not really. But the city has starred in a lot of blockbusters in recent years the most famous of which probably being The Dark Knight Rises.

Plenty of foods that we all know and love started out right here in Pittsburgh. Like the Klondike bar. And Heinz ketchup. And even the Big Mac (which was invented near Pittsburgh in 1967).
