OUR TRAIL BIKES (for GAP and C&O)
Norco Indie 2 2023
|
This bike has it all: High-quality parts like a lightweight aluminum frame, a Shimano 2x8 derailleur, hydraulic brakes, adjustable handlebars and reliable tires. We chose Norco, a Canadian bicycle manufacturer, headquartered in British Columbia, for our trail fleet, because this brand genuinely cares about a great product, not just a good one. (So do we!)
This hybrid bike blends all the best qualities of a mountain bike and a road bike. With its powerful disc brakes and durable components, it can take some bumps and rough terrain. It can easily handle smooth roads or dirt, making it the perfect bike for your trail adventure. |

FAQs
What if I want to bring my own pedals?
Our fleet has platform pedals well suited to the trails. If you choose to bring a pedal with toeclips or SPDs, we are happy to exchange them on site. If you will NOT be shuttling back to Pittsburgh, please bring the appropriate tool to remove the pedals so that you can take them with you at the end of the trip. We have a limited number of tools and therefore, cannot borrow you our tools.
Please give us advance notice if you intend to bring your own pedals. Additionally, we would need to know if they mount using a pedal wrench or if they require a hex wrench used behind the crank arm (and if so, 6 mm or 8 mm).
Note: We cannot attach toe-clips to our pedals.
Can I bring my own helmet?
Absolutely! Please notify us in advance for better equipment planning.
Can I bring my own saddle?
Our saddles are sporty but comfortable with foam padding and pressure-relief zones. We have a limited number of foam seat covers if interested. Bike saddles should support the sit bones and offer limited areas of chaffing—bigger saddles do not always automatically translate to more comfort.
Please let us now in advance if you are bringing your own bike saddle.
Should I bring my own water bottle?
Yes, please! All of our bikes include bottle cages, but not water bottles. Bottles are not available on site because we encourage riders to bring their own to help us reduce plastic waste.
How does the bike pick-up procedure look like?
We will arrange a specific pick-up time with you. Please plan to spend about 20 minutes at the shop getting checked in (signing the waiver) and having your bike set up. It will take longer for larger groups.
Please arrive at the scheduled time. Our shop is only staffed during certain hours. Depending on the day and time, no one may be able to assist you outside of the arranged time.
