Bikes Unlimited has save my bacon twice. Once a decade ago with an emergency repair. And once…read moreyesterday with a not-quite-emergency repair. I decade ago I was riding a local ultradistance event up and down PA mountains when I broke a spoke on a front low spoke count wheel near Ohiopyle. That is pretty scary to ride downhill on, in case another spoke brakes. I rode to Bikes Unlimited in Connellsvile. They had the spoke in stock and replaced it. Thanks! Yesterday, I was riding Cumberland - Pittsburgh on the GAP, returning from riding out the day before. Starting out that morning, I realized something wasn't quite right with the wheel, and diagnosed a broken spoke on the trailside repair stand in Frostburg. Anyhow, this is a high-spoke wheel, and strong enough to ride with 1 spoke out. So I rode at least 90 miles on it, Cumberland to Connellsville. But you are tempting fate to ride with 1 spoke out forever. So I stopped at Bikes Unlimited and they were great. I had my own spare spoke this time. They made time for us and launched into the repair quickly. They were nice hosts. On one side of them is a restaurant. On the other is frozen yogurt. We did frozen yogurt. They sell cold water and Gatorade in the shop inexpensively. They have trailside seating. They patched me up, and were on our way. I really appreciate them making time for a trail-side repair on a holiday weekend. Thanks!

Which I thought was dumb. A tire is a tire. So I drove half an hour to West Newton Bikes. The bike tech, Jerico, could not have been nicer or more efficient. He fixed the flat, remounted the tire, fixed some other little issues I had and I was back on the trail in less than an hour. All for a lot less money than I would have paid at the other place. It's a bit of a drive, but I'll be using them for all my biking needs from here on out.

The Coal & Coke Trail is a neat little biking and hiking trail in Westmoreland County connecting…read moreMount Pleasant with Scottdale. A mere 5 miles in length, it's one of the few Rails-to-Trails I hadn't covered yet. Really, I couldn't justify the time or gas money to do a 10 mile round trip bike ride. A 10 mile hike is of course another story! And that's just what I did as part of my employer's wellness program. I planned the whole thing and of course headed up the hardy group of hikers able to complete the entire 10 mile round trip. The trail begins and ends in city parks at both ends. We began at Willows Park in Mount Pleasant. The address I gave you above is the parking lot and it's based on information from www.traillink.com Drinking water and restrooms are available in the park, but the restrooms appear to be closed in winter. We began by working our way southbound. The trail was built on the roadbed of a Pennsylvania RR branch. As ts name implies, the railroad hauled coke ad coal over the line. The railroad was abandoned for many years, however after 8 years of planning, the trail opened in 2007. Upon leaving town, we hiked through some scenic wooded areas to the town of Bridgeport. At one point we noticed the trail paralleling an active rail line. The forest here is old growth and we crossed one of a few small streams. Beyond the town of Bridgeport, we again entered the woodlands while paralleling Jacobs Creek. Curving to the west as we approached Scottdale, we arrived at the scenic high point of the day. The sewage treatment plant. Yep! The trail even goes through plant's parking lot and is routed onto Sewage Treatment Lane! Well no worries--we crossed Old US 119 and then ducked under the new highway before entering our last stretch of woodlands. Part of the trail is incomplete at Scottdale, so we had to walk down Mildred Street , Bessemer Street, and Mt. Pleasant Road (they're actually all the same street) before reaching Kendi Park. The trail resumes briefly here but this was our rest stop and turnaround point. So this is a pleasant and relatively easy trail to hike or bike. Just remember, there aren't any places to obtain food or water along the path, so be sure to bring adequate supplies of each.

I qualify as a bicycle rider -- I purchased the smoothest riding bicycle at this shop a few years ago. I'm not here to rave about my bicycle. I want to let you know about Bob's expertise with musical instruments. My Instrument of Choice is an old closed-hole Pearl flute I purchased used a couple decades ago. It's provided me many years of happy creative musical expression. I confess - I have been a negligent flautist and not once did I ever take my friend in for professional maintenance. The longer I didn't do well by my flute, the more dread built up about the diagnosis if and when I finally brought her for a wellness check. You know, kind'ave like putting off going to the dentist? Ok - I may be stretching it. You know what I like about doing business with Bob? He not only has the expertise - the man has passion for what he does - and I felt lighter after dropping off a win instrument needing tender loving care. How can anyone determine whether a musical friend appreciated a "spa" day? For me, her tone was distinctly more melodic and mellow! Happy flute pictures of Pearl to follow.

Stewart helped me right away and was very patient with me as I tried on probably 20 pairs of shoes to find a unicorn. i found out I was wearing completely the wrong shoe for my stride. It was great to talk to someone who also is passionate about running. Hooked me up with a pair of Hokas, which I had never tried personally. The difference with the stability has been night and day. I've taken a minute off each mile with the change of shoe and inserts suggested. I will be back to run some of the Thursday night park runs. 10/10 experience.

The staff helped find the appropriate sized bike for our older child who had outgrown his prior bike--and let us know the model he picked was on sale as well! Woot woot! Of course the younger child fell in love with a PINK bike (with the PINK tax--not on sale, and no she didn't want the color that was on sale) and had to have it. So we ended up getting 2 bikes instead of one. As per usual, these folks were super professional and Helpful. You know how some sales folks try to upsell stuff? None of that here. They asked what we needed and helped us find it. Road bike? Trail bike? Kiddie bike? PINK bike? They helped us get the correct sizes and from other locations if needed. In the interim, between purchases, we had a kick stand issue, which they easily fixed. My bike fell off the carrier and was dragged while the car was in motion-so we took it in for repair. Assorted other minor issues. Any issues that came up soon after purchase were taken care of for free. Other issues were taken care of at a reasonable price. Quality products which have longevity. Knowledgeable and helpful staff. Zero sales pressure-the equipment sells itself. Highly Recommend
