Chaotic from start to finish…read more The rental process alone should have been our warning sign. Their online cutoff is 2pm the day before, which means you have to call-fine, except the woman who answered never called us back. We had to chase her down twice just to confirm a reservation. We arrived at 12:50 for a 1pm pickup and stood there watching the one staff member slowly process an entire family who was renting bikes for the next day on our time. The guy who eventually got us our bikes moved like he was underwater. Directions? He handed us a map that would challenge a cartographer and told us to "turn at the thing that blinks." That was the landmark. The blinking thing. We missed a turn. My husband's bike was mechanically broken. He came back with mud splattered across his backpack, shorts, and hair. And the e-bikes if you've rented an e-bike anywhere else in your life, do not expect that here. These things have less power than a child's ride-on toy. I'm not exaggerating. There is no assist. There is no joy. Unprofessional, disorganized, and a complete waste of a half day in a place where you have limited time and actually want to have fun. Skip it.

What a remarkable shop! When I reserved two premium gravel bikes for several days of cycling…read morethrough Acadia, I hardly expected the machines that we were given. High-end Cervelo carbon fiber bikes with electronic shifting, perfectly tuned, spotless and ready to roll. A mechanic cheerfully popped on the SPD pedals we brought with us, and we were off, departing from BHBS for the park. We felt like we lived on those bikes for three days. We popped by the shop on the third morning for fresh shifter batteries and a tire top-off. Return was effortless and gave us a chance to browse the well-merchandised shop. We also had an enjoyable chat with owner Peter who definitely knows what he's talking about when it comes to cycling.

My fiancée and I had an incredible time, and a huge part of that was thanks to the owner, Patrick. He is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about your experience. Before we set off, Patrick took the time to make personal adjustments to our e-bikes and ensured we knew exactly how to operate them correctly and safely. He even provided a fantastic map highlighting the best trails and landmarks to hit during our ride. The e-bikes themselves are top-notch and made tackling the park's hills immensely easier. They come fully equipped with a helmet, a lock, and a highly convenient small pack to carry your belongings. The pack even has a designated spot for a water bottle--which you should definitely bring for the long, scenic ride! Returning the bikes was completely hassle-free. I would highly recommend MDI Bike to anyone interested in an interactive, breathtaking way to see the park. Thank you, Patrick, for making our trip so memorable

The bike route is full of incredible views. We stopped frequently to take pictures. There was not much traffic. If you take the bike path across the peninsula, be aware that it is a heavy gravel path with some steep winding curves and downhills. Even as experienced cyclists, we decided to walk that part. There are 2 restaurants on the loop but unfortunately both were closed on Mondays. However we found another restaurant once we returned the bikes. It was a great day.
