I’m not sure if this place is in business anymore. Whoever runs this thing could not even be bothered to call us back about renting a bike for the day. Left two messages with someone who just says hello and that they will take a message for you and someone will get back to you. Don’t bother.

This is a very shady operation. Bikes were very old and rusty. They had non functioning breaks, tires were wobbly, gears did not work. The helmets they had were too big. They overcharged. Instead of $100 for 2 whole day bike rental, they charged $125 saying this was with tax. But sales tax should be only 8.25%. They operate out of a car and a convenient store. They are very hard at giving direction to their locations in Beacon.

This is now little more than one guy with a bunch of broken-down bikes. He does not even oil them or do basic maintenance. I had to choose between bikes that made loud, growling noises (scaring the dogs on the trails) and bikes with no brakes. It is my understanding that there is new ownership as of a few months ago. That's the only possible reason I could imagine for why this subpar, dangerous situation could have earned positive reviews. I paid $30 for a bike that was misaligned and after 20 minutes of easy riding, made scary noises. The man renting the bikes talked a good game and refused to return any money. Just a horrible experience all around.

So many red flags: - M was going to charge us $130, even though the website and in our phone conversation from the day before he said $110 + taxes. I was able to correct it before I was charged. - M did not tell us beforehand where we're going. He had zero information on the trails, stops, buildings, waterfall, Beacon, etc. This is supposed to be a tour and a tourguide's job is to tell us things about the places we're going. Otherwise, we could have just rented the bikes and save ourselves $60. - M did not explain well that he was going to leave us by ourselves because he had to go back to the rental place. He left an hour in our 2-hour tour. - this was supposed to be my surprise gift to my partner. It ended up being a complete dud, and after spending $70 on the MTA ride from NYC to Beacon (3 hours total for commute) and $110+taxes, the tour was NOT WORTH THE MONEY AND TIME. Honestly, the only fair thing at this point is a refund for the tour.

Quality equipment, fair pricing, straightforward bike paths, wonderful scenery, and friendly customer service! What more could you ask for. Thanks Edward for a fun daytime excursion! The bike paths recommended are equal parts shady and sunny but bring plenty of water and don’t forget to wear sunscreen! Will visit again next time we’re in Beacon.
