"I'm not going to charge you for staying safe" is what he told us. THAT alone would have me recommending this place to anyone. The girl behind the counter was also very nice! I'm not sure of her name but she was helpful when I was looking to rent the bike for myself! I rented a bike for the half day time, and the package included the bike, a helmet, a lock, a basket (my bike had a basket), and a couple different maps of the area. All for $20!! You can not beat that price! Also the bike that was given to me to use was purple which was a random little awesome thing, as purple is my favorite color!

I stopped by Idle Times Bike Shop early on a Saturday morning around 8:30 AM hoping to quickly put…read moresome air in my tire -- something that would've taken less than a minute. Unfortunately, I was met with an incredibly rude staff member, a man with a beard who was setting bikes out front. He made it very clear he had no interest in helping and came across as downright miserable. In my experience, bike shops are usually staffed by people who love what they do and are happy to help, even with small requests like this. This was the complete opposite. It left a really bad impression, and I won't be going back. There are plenty of other places on the Cape where the staff actually care about the cycling community.

Rented a couple bikes and a kids bike trailer for the week. The tires on the trailer were…read moreunfortunately incredibly worn, to the point that the threading of the tire was visible. While noticeable, it wasn't an issue until we had a flat with both my kids inside many miles from where we started. Had to bike to Idle Times and exchange the wheel for a new one, which they were kind enough to immediately help with. However, when we returned the bikes, I mentioned this to a staff member. They stated that they were just trying to stretch the life of the trailer tires as far as possible and seemed angry when I suggested this wasn't a good idea for a trailer meant for carrying kids. The owner was even less apologetic. Over email, he insinuated that this was my fault and that the trailer must have been dragged behind a car (logistically near impossible, if you take a second to think about it..) even after the staff member had admitted fault. When pressed, he continued to double down, telling me to "take my meds" and called me "mentally ill", perhaps insults that would have been acceptable in 1990. In his final reply, he informed me that he would be going to the police if he received any more messages from me (there were only about 4 messages back and forth) to get a no trespass order. Safe to say, such an order will not be necessary, would never rent from Idle times again or step foot in their shops! Disappointed by this experience, surely there are many better options on the cape.

Excellent Excuses; POOR Maintenance…read more It's the bike shop you want to love, but can't. It's got a cute name, great locations, is friendly, and family run. We rented twice in the 2021 season, a total of five bikes. Almost all of them had maintenance problems ranging from the annoying to the trip-stopping. One bike seized up on the trail. The excuses and apologizes were convincing and friendly, so we came back for a second go. Worse. Example: One kids bike crank seized up. That's not a mishap. It's the result of not cleaning and repacking the crank bearing annually, which should be normal routine maintenance for rental inventory. Example: A half-hour later they showed up with a replacement bike and an excuse, but the technician refused to stay until our child fully tested it. That bike had a front derailleur and shifter so gummed up and dirty that it took superhuman effort to shift. Our child could not operate it, so plod along with no front derailleur. Example: Three bikes had grimy tacky grips. They excused themselves saying last year's sanitizer destroyed them. Ok, but why didn't the replace them? They claimed they can't get any because of covid. I took that at face value, but then checked on Amazon that same day. I can order any number of brands, delivered as soon as tomorrow. So a bald-faced lie. Example: Two other bikes had one inoperable derailleurs each. Each and every problem would have been avoided by modest routine maintenance. But with every bike rented, I guess they figure, why should we bother? One reason is a review like this. Try another shop.

This hidden gem has 2-3 miles of wooded trails for trailing running, dog walking, and light hiking…read more While the paved rail trail and the small beaches along the way are fun to explore, it's the wooded trails that are a win for me when I want a shaded run that's easy on the knees. Trails are well maintained and easy to navigate. Parking is available from the Main St Rail Trail Lot. For the wooded trail, you can either access it from the smaller secondary lot or take the main Rail Trail about a quarter mile down towards the river until you start seeing small paths on your left. There is a dirt service road with power lines running parallel to the rail trail that you will cross over. These power lines will also help navigate you back if you get turned around. I had to knock of a star because the trails are not marked so you can get turned around. Luckily the loops are short so you can't get too lost but don't be surprised if you end up in someone's driveway or come across a dirt road you weren't expecting. There are a few spots along the loops that have benches if you want to take a break and enjoy the views.

Great place to walk the dog. Beautiful views of the river and marshes along the way. However,…read moretrails are not well-marked so you're never sure exactly where you are (as a newbie). Clear trail markers would be very helpful. Though there were several dogs off-leash, most were controlled by their owners. Definitely worth a visit!
