Hi. I just wanted to ask forum members who live near Pittsburgh if they know of any shops that would rent to me a recumbent bike for a day this coming weekend.
I am aware of some that rent that are east & south east of the city but those are out of the way. My girlfriend and I are headed north to stay at a cabin a couple of hours outside the city (near Slippery Rock University).
She has back problems & can't take the upright position of a regular bike for very long. I've suggested trying out a bent but no luck finding a shop nearby with one to check out. So, with the weekend approaching, I have to try one more time to locate a shop or group willing to rent a bike to a beginner for an afternoon.
Any ideas?
