The OktoberQuest ride was organized by the Northside Leadership Conference (NSLC) and the NSLC’s volunteer committee, Walk/Ride Northside. Over 50 people rode their bikes, or rented a Healthy Ride bike, to five local breweries; Penn Brewery, Spring Hill Brewery, Threadbare Cider and Mead, War Street’s Brewery at Bier’s Pub, and Allegheny City Brewing.
Cyclists cross over Rt. 28 on the Charles J. Lieberth Bridge.
