I’m flying into Pittsburgh next month to bike the trail to DC. My plan is to ship my bike to a Pittsburgh bike shop that can take the bike back out of the shipping box and reassemble it. Anyone know of a Pittsburgh bike shop near trail?

Thick Bikes in the South Side of Pittsbugh is just a few blocks from the bike trail on the south side of the Monongahela River that joins the formal GAP trail at the Hot Metal Bridge about a mile up river. You can Google them to get contact and location info.

Not necessarily a bike shop but REI is one block from a portion if the trail and can help you out. If you are not a member and like doing bikepacking, etc they are the best and many of their members (and you will be able to figure out which ones quickly) do this outdoor "stuff".
