FAQ
Reviews
I wanted to add some details and a photo to my previous review since I couldn't do it earlier. The Pedego shop is conveniently situated near the downtown Norfolk cruise port. They provided a trail map for the Norfolk bike path, which is roughly 8 miles long, running north from downtown to the Naval base. Once we learned to look for the small path signs, following the bike path was relatively straightforward. However, at a few points, we had to consult the map to clarify the road and direction when it wasn’t a separate path, making the map essential. The area near Chelsea was a fantastic stop on our way back to the shop, featuring food options, a distillery, and several brew pubs. Be sure to check their hours, as many places are closed on Mondays and may not serve lunch on weekdays, making later visits preferable. We had a wonderful Sunday brunch during our ride.
Although they typically close on Mondays, one of my fellow cruisers informed them, and they kindly agreed to open for us. I didn't have a reservation but was able to rent a bike last-minute on-site. The staff was extremely accommodating, and when I encountered an issue with my bike, they were very helpful. The bike trail along the waterfront offers an authentic way to explore the area, passing through neighborhoods that are mostly safe, though there are a few road crossings to navigate. You may need to look out for trail marker signs around town, but they can provide a map if you stray from the route.
Our group of friends rented bicycles from Pedego today, and the service was outstanding. A big thank you to Amy for making our day memorable.
Renting from this group was a fantastic experience. They provided an easy process and even included a map for an enjoyable route. Be sure to stop at Hanks for a drink along the way. The bikes were in excellent condition and a pleasure to use. I highly recommend renting from them.
We had a fantastic time on this self-guided tour with our family. Being able to explore at our own pace was wonderful, and the provided map was very beneficial. The staff was excellent, making this a perfect 10 out of 10 experience.
I had a great time riding an e-bike in Norfolk. The Elizabeth River Trail is conveniently located near the store and offers plenty of sights, including the waterfront, the university, and various neighborhoods. I highly recommend it.
The bikes were of high quality and easy to use. The vendors were helpful in making necessary adjustments. However, we found the trail challenging to follow as we often lost sight of the signs, and it traversed many residential areas on local streets. Occasionally, we did connect with proper trails.
We celebrated our anniversary by exploring Norfolk. After 28 years, it’s challenging to discover new activities, but this shop exceeded our expectations, and the tour was truly fantastic.
Our group of four had a wonderful time cycling around Norfolk, VA, even in the heat of summer. The bikes were simple to handle, and wearing helmets made communication enjoyable. With a solid four-hour ride and a delicious hour-long restaurant stop, we definitely felt it was worth the money. I would happily do this again.
Riding bikes on the ERT trail was a delightful experience. The route was straightforward to navigate, and the team at Pedego was extremely helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend this activity.
