Downhill mountain bikers don’t pedal, road bike riders descending a backroad don’t pedal, BMX riders in a halfpipe don’t pedal, and motorcyclists don’t pedal. They are all riding. What do they all have in common? The ability to balance on two wheels, and lean through turns regardless of what put them in motion. For children, walking and running are motions that come natural. The simplicity of Strider bikes allows children to concentrate on the fundamental skills of balancing, leaning, and steering while propelling the bike in a natural way.

Fallingwaters and Flight 93 National MemorialFallingwaters was designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 in rural southwestern Pennsylvania, 43 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. The home was built partly over a waterfall on Bear Run in the Mill Run section of Stewart Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, in the Laurel Highlands of the Allegheny Mountains. Fallingwater stands as one of Wright’s greatest masterpieces both for its dynamism and for its integration with the striking natural surroundings. While this is a breath taking site, it does not come without unique site challenges. Please note this is a one-hour walking tour and over 100 steps (not all at once) along with a ¼ mile walk to and from the home on uneven gravel paths. We will leave Fallingwater en route to the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The new visitor’s center will be opening in September and is a place to learn about the 40 passengers and crew of Flight 93 whose actions thwarted the hijackers’ plan to fl y this plane to a target in Washington, DC, most likely the US Capitol. It is a place to walk beside their fi nal resting place and honor the extraordinary courage of those who fought back against the terrorists. Please bring a packed lunch to be enjoyed between locations and we will stop for a sit down dinner, which will be on your own, after touring the Flight 93 National Memorial. Pick up begins at the Mt.
