Absolutely one of the highlights of my birthday month!…read more I came across an Instagram post featuring the trail from Burlington to Lake Champlain, and as someone who LOVES being near large bodies of water and is a serious stickler for a scenic view, I immediately knew I had to experience it for myself. The post mentioned Local Motion, so about a month later, I decided to recreate the adventure, and I'm SO glad I did. Booking ahead was super easy. I really appreciated that the website included photos of the different bikes along with the information you actually need to make a decision. The pricing was phenomenal, so I felt good about booking before I even arrived. Once we got there, the energy was EVERYTHING. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. They didn't just hand us bikes and send us on our way. They pulled out a map, walked us through the route, explained where we needed to go, and even gave us an idea of how long the ride would take. That was especially helpful because I had absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into! And let me tell you...I am NOT an avid or frequent bike rider. But somehow, I managed to ride a minimum of 18 MILES! I was honestly proud of myself. The trail itself is BEAUTIFUL. The signage was on point, the route was easy to follow, and there was so much to see along the way. Being able to ride through such a scenic area and eventually make my way toward Lake Champlain made the whole experience worth it. Now, let me keep it real: after about mile 9, my legs were not having it. So there is a ferry option in the area, although I don't know whether it was running during my visit. If you're considering using the ferry as part of your route, ASK ABOUT IT BEFORE YOU DEPART so you can plan accordingly. Because whew...I definitely could have used that ferry on the way back! One of the things I loved most was that Local Motion is right next to the trail, so everything felt incredibly convenient. No complicated logistics, no figuring out how to get to the starting point, it was just grab the bike and go. And THEN they took the experience up another notch with their recommendation for food afterward. We asked for a recommendation and were directed to Kismet Mediterranean Grill, a Turkish restaurant right across the way. I am generally NOT a big chicken eater, but the chicken I had there was easily a 20/10. I'm still thinking about it! Honestly, I only want chicken prepared that way now. So yes, Local Motion gave us a great bike rental, but they also gave us helpful guidance, a beautiful route, great local recommendations, and an experience that made the whole day memorable. I'm so happy we chose Local Motion for this adventure. If you're visiting Burlington and looking for a fun way to explore the area, get outside, see some beautiful scenery, and maybe challenge yourself a little, this is absolutely worth doing. And if you're like me and love a good scenic view, being near the water, and turning a regular day into an EXPERIENCE...book the bike. Local Motion, you helped make my birthday month pretty special. Thank you!

Causeway was pretty windy, so we didn't spend much time at the end. Bike ferry was not running, as it was mid October. Views are great! Water refill at the store. Highly recommend renting from here.

The pacing of the tour was perfect, not too slow, not too strenuous. It is obvious that JF is deeply knowledgable about urbanism, bicycle culture, and the way our built environment impacts our experiences of life. The details he pointed out and the places he brought us are easily overlooked, but super interesting. It is rare to find someone who takes so little for granted in their home environment. This tour was not just a lesson about history and some neighborhoods of Montréal, but about how to observe the world around us. I would give six stars if possible. It did not hurt that the weather was perfect. If it had rained, probably only five stars. It was a fantastic three hours and a highlight of our visit to MTL.

Frederick, our guide, took eight of us over a 7 mile tour of some of the classic neighborhoods of Montreal. His love for his hometown truly shines. We took about three hours because he made a point of showing us some classic Montreal native spots such as an immense farmers market filled with luscious locally grow produce. If we were staying long enough to cook, I'd be heading straight back there tomorrow . Frederick is a certified guide and while his knowledge is near encyclopedic, he never drones. He always invites questions and made us laugh a lot. Ask him how poutine got its name. He created a perfect blend of peddling and savoring He spaced out our rest stops in such a way that we were never bored with resting and nor fatigued with pedaling.

In addition, they provided timely and exceptional assistance to help us recover from an unexpected crisis. We were scheduled to depart on the shuttle early on a Monday morning. On the preceding Saturday afternoon, while parked at a hiking trail head in VT, the passenger window of our car was smashed. Without a secure car, how could we store our excess baggage during the four days of our bike trip? How could we get the window fixed, given our tight schedule, the location, the weekend, and the limited availability of parts? Maxim, who owns and operates the shuttle service with his parents, arranged to store our extra bags in their small office, (which is a picturesque caboose at the end of the rail trail) and to have someone repair our car window during our bike trip. As a result, we were able to enjoy an uninterrupted worry-free, romantic trip, biking 200 km through beautiful scenery, and including gourmet breakfasts and dinners at each of our three stops. Thank you, Maxim and family, for salvaging this trip by providing storage and arranging repair on an exceptional basis, and demonstrating such a high standard of customer service.
