    E-Bike hatred is out there!

    The shuttle was only $20. I was looking at the reviews of this business on Trip Advisor last night and actually got laughing. There are 50 negative reviews specifically directed at the owner. Many commenting on how rude and obnoxious he is. I have decided to not even bother reviewing them. If he...

    E-Bike hatred is out there!

    If I would have been going alone I would have never used the shuttle service. The trail and scenery were really nice for the first 15 miles. I usually park at Slatedale and ride to Jim Thorpe and back which is about 36 miles r/t. This was my first ride north of Jim Thorpe.

    E-Bike hatred is out there!

    Yes, I was talking to you. You are the one that's ranting about how terrible everything is on the trail. You are correct. This past year with Covid everyone has moved outside and many things have been destroyed. There is litter everywhere. I also started hiking to get further away from people...

    E-Bike hatred is out there!

    I seldom leave a bad review for anything or anyone. I usually just move on. This is a case where I am just letting other e-bike riders know this might be a business to avoid unless you enjoy being verbally abused. I also feel some constructive criticism might help this gentleman improve...

    Listening to you rant and rave is like a replay of yesterday. Is your real name Tom Williams?😁

    E-Bike hatred is out there!

    I checked this person out online and yes, he is your stereotypical "Jock of all trades" type. His bio lists all of his accomplishments such as professional skier, mountain biker, kayaker and white water rafter. He certainly fits the bill. If he had been a stranger on the trail I would have just...

    E-Bike hatred is out there!

    I tried to refrain from being from being nasty as to not embarrass the others in my group. I will be rating this business online in a few days. It's best to cool off before doing a review.

    E-Bike hatred is out there!

    Sorry, he was the owner of this business. You do not treat a customer this way. From some of the online reviews I have seen, I am not the only one he has been rude to.

    E-Bike hatred is out there!

    I have been riding E-bikes for the last six plus years and just had my first experience with a hater. Yesterday i went cycling on the D &L Trail with three friends on regular bikes. We had a shuttle from Jim Thorpe to White Haven reserved and paid for with Pocono Bike Rentals owned by Tom...

    How is the condition of the Heritage Rail Trail right now? I am thinking about making a trip down tomorrow to take advantage of this nice weather!

    Let me correct my answer. They were to hold sections of metal track, not wooden ties. Groups of these were spaced out every couple of miles to store 30 foot sections of track in areas that were hard to reach when repairs were needed. I researched this years ago, as I was also curious about them...

    They are for storing extra ties for repairs to the tracks!

    Best Wireless Earbuds for Ebikes

    Aftershox Air bone conduction. They sit in front of your ears. The sound is decent and you can still hear everything around you. I bought them to use when I go inline skating. I plan on using them to ride also.

    Street vs trail ?

    This coming Sunday is supposed to be nice. I am throwing my bike on the back of my car and going to drive to the Stony Valley rail trail on the Gold Mine Road side. Nobody ever goes there except for a couple of miles on each end. I have not been out since last fall and I am going crazy!

    Smartphone mount: A bad experience

    I have Rokform mounts on both my bikes and have had no had no problems with either of them. I use a note 8 which is a very large phone and it stays in place fine. My only complaint is some difficulty attaching the case to the phone at times.

    Suspension Seat Posts

    Well, I bit the bullet and bought the Kinect for my newest bike. Just like the Thudbuster short travel I added to another bike, I had to cut 2 inches off the bottom of the post to make it workable for a shorty. I am used to riding a full suspension bike and this no suspension was killing me!

    Wilderness.org e-bikes on federal land

    I love horses. I own a horse. I would never take my horse on a rail trail. A lot of horses are petrified of anything with moving wheels. An out of control horse can do a lot more damage to someone than any e-bike could ever come close to doing. Most of the horseback riders I have met on local...
