He gave us the logistics about the bike path and personally guided us to a start location where the bike path was confusing. He was entirely 'spot on' with his information including the time the storm would begin. We were sooo grateful for that because our weather app was not reporting a storm. We highly recommend this business.

A lot of the clothes were also in bags, and I'm not sure how people would know what they're looking at without fully unwrapping them which seemed impossible in the space. It ended up feeling really junky and I got out of here as soon as possible. It would work for them if they cleaned up a ton, displayed their clothes differently, and put away about half of the stuff out.

Owner pointed out it was a women's item (which at first as being helpful) and when we asked if there was a mens version and he said no and then a bizarre interaction ensued. Basically the owner got AGGRESIVE insisting that MEN don't buy WOMENS clothes (um, what) also it's a black zip up so...zip it. His ridicule of my 16 year old escalated and as we decided to leave and not give any $$$ to this man (who started out cranky but legit is mentally unwell and possibly dangerous), he started approaching us to the point that I put myself between him and my daughter. We felt threatened and unsafe and needless to say wouldn't return if our lives depended on it. How this biz is still open is an utter shock. Clearly Ithaca isn't the community I thought it was to allow this place to stick around.

The rental includes a helmet and bike lock. I'm more comfortable riding a tricycle at home for running errands, but Laurence was very patient as I became re-accustomed to riding a two-wheeler, helping me find a bike that was the right size for me, adjusting the seat and handle bars, and walking me through how to charge the bike and use the electric throttle. The electric motor was very helpful as I rode around Itacha's steep hills. All in all, the rental process was easy and the bike was fantastic!

Though I've only tested the rental bikes (including electric!) I haven't needed to rent one as I have my own--but such a great option for people visiting town, especially now with the Cayuga Waterfront Trail and other bicycle infrastructure that make conditions here better. People are newer to biking, especially those with kids, surely appreciate these improvements. When I have had one of my two bicycles serviced there (numerous times by now) the turnover time is quick and the prices are reasonable. I'm taking my winter bike in to Boxy Bikes tomorrow for some service before that road salt comes out! A great, reliable Local Bike Shop!

The Cortland Public Library is part of the Finger Lakes Library System. At Cortland they the Dewey…read moresystem for its non-fic. Fiction is all neatly printed with the author's last name on a sticker on the spine, which makes it is really easy to spot the author you are looking for. There is a pretty decent section of large print and mystery and the library offers video games you can borrow! The newspapers are kept in this rather genius way- the various sections are slid onto what looks like a Japanese kendo sword. One end has a handle and the other end is a rubber ring which holds together the wood slats that the different paper sections slide into. Having the newspaper this way means it stays fairly neat rather than a jumbled mass after others have been looking through it. There are several levels to the place so the flow can be kind of confusing if you have never been there before. I highly recommend asking a librarian where to go if you are looking for something specific. As a note you cannot be on a computer and the wifi at the same time. Parking is generally pretty easy. There is a private lot for the library itself and a lot of street parking nearby. I should add, the handicap entrance is on Court St, which is also the direction entrance to the children's area.
