Testamonials

"For any beginners who are wondering if this is for you... before we left the parking lot, Jim pumped up my tires and kindly informed me my front tire was on backward and fixed it. Very early into the ride I was having trouble shifting gears and my chain came off. Rowland fixed my chain and Debbie took me into a parking lot for a lesson and practice shifting gears. All throughout the ride, Jason, Jim and Debbie gave me encouragement, telling me how great I was doing, checking if I needed a break, telling me when to shift gears, pointing out obstacles. Jason and Matthew prayed over our ride. Matthew rode in the back to make sure no one got left behind and took photos for us, I felt very safe and comfortable with this group. I made 5 new friends!"

"I haven't been on my bike in 5 yrs, only rode about 4 times & never really new how to use it properly. Consequently, I had trouble even inflating my tires & was late. I am so thankful for Jim, Debbie & Jason who were incredibly patient, caring, generous & very helpful with me and Kathleen. You trained us on the basics of bikes, adjusted them for a better ride, showed us how to effectively use the gears, & instructed use in bike safety lingo & tips for road. You even adjusted the bike route for us! You just went above & beyond! I know you didn't anticipate having such rusty beginners on your hands, but I truly appreciate how you made us feel comfortable. The day was beautiful, the company wonderful & the ride was great. Kathleen & I are now motivated to ride regularly so, during the next outing, we can go faster & farther!"
