I want to recommend Enterprise Car Rental as an option if you want to get yourself and your bikes to the GAP near PGH. Good locations are:
--Homestead. This is right near the trail, so you can leave your vehicle and ride away.
--Belle Vernon, PA. 7 min by car from Cedar Creek Campground.
--Uniontown, PA. 15 min by car from the start of the Sheepskin Trail in Dunbar (by Dunbar Historical Society), which connects to the GAP near Connellsville.
Enterprise boasts that they will pick you up or drop you off. Be sure to phone ahead of time to be sure they can and what time you should arrive so that someone is there to drive you. We drove to Uniontown and Josh drove us to the Sheepskin Trail. Learning about these (and other) options gave us much more flexibility.
I would rather take a train to Connellsville, but the scheduled arrival is ~10 pm, and it is often 2 or more hours late.
