5Fantastic time riding around Norfolk, VA
We had a group of 4 riding on a hot summer day and it was still amazing. Bikes were easy to learn, helmets added a really fun way to communicate as well. We got our monies worth with a solid 4 hours and 1 hour spend at a delicious restaurant as break. I will do this again and again!
5Adding some info and a map pic to my previous review...
I thought I could update my recent review to add a picture, but I couldn't, so I am adding it now. Also, the Pedego shop is ideally located near the cruise port in downtown Norfolk. The trail map they provided is of the Norfolk bike path, approx 8 mi from downtown to the North and it ends near the Naval base. The bike path was fairly easy to follow once we knew how to look for the small path signs, however, there were a few spots we needed to refer to the map to determine what road and direction the path took when it was along the road (not a separate path), so the map was important. The restaurant area near Chelsea was a great stop on the way back to the shop. It has food, a distillery, a few brew pubs, etc. but check the operating times. Many of them are closed on Monday and may not open on weekdays for lunch, so later tends to be better. We really enjoyed our Sunday brunch during our ride.
