5-25-15 Jam Packed Poconos for Biking and Rafting the Lehigh Gorge Memorial Day Weekend

Hotel Shuttle Service for Poconos Fun Outdoor Biking and Rafting AdventuresThe Poconos was packed this weekend and Pocono Bike Rental was SOLD OUT!!!

Mother nature cooperated in a big way and gave us a glorious sun filled “SUMMER IS HERE” kinda feeling! We all needed this vacation weekend to let off some steam from the winter chill we had in the Northeast US. Here in the outdoor adventure sport mecca, White Haven, Poconos, PA we have the Lehigh River Gorge to play in and reacquaint ourselves with our natural beginnings.

Pocono Bike Rental Have Happy CustomersThe shortened spring season and time to get things ready for summer fun around the house, really didn’t allow for a lot of time to plan ahead for vacation this year. It seems all 30+ million people traveling in the I80/I95/I81/I476 corridor passed through the Poconos at some point as traffic was intense and business was BOOMING from what most local business owners and staff were highlighting!

Lehigh Gorge Rockport Trail AreaPocono Bike Rental along with several other White Haven, PA merchants all agreed;“It was like the busiest fourth of July weekend, but May!” The fact that most businesses were experiencing more than usual sales volume can be attributed to many things. The fact that the Poconos still remains the place to be on the east coast south of New England for affordable Outdoor Family FUN! We get to play in the great outdoors everyday here in White Haven, PA. The Lehigh Gorge is our backyard and we let other kids come and play in our sandbox here and they like it!

Thank you first and foremost to our amazing: staff of interns, employees and partners we couldn’t have done it without you! Our customers made our first Memorial Day Weekend a SOLD OUT success! Thank you to the staff at the DCNR that provided our safety and traffic control in and around the Lehigh Gorge. Finally there is a company in the Poconos that can provide true family fun in an affordable way. The naturally beautiful environment of the Poconos is in harmony with Pocono Bike Rental’s philosophy, “We make it easy for families to afford outdoor summer adventures!”

05-15-15 Affordable Lehigh River Gorge Biking in the Poconos

Lehigh Gorge Rail Trail Scenic Waterfall near RockportAffordable Lehigh Gorge Biking being offered by new White Haven, PA bike rental shop is a big hit!

The affordable pricing at Pocono Bike Rental located on Main Street right in the heart of downtown White Haven has people talking. The shop is located near the entrance to the Lehigh River Gorge Rail Trail System and offers a low cost alternative to the Pocono pleasure seeker who may be on a tight budget. The local bike rental scene in the Lehigh River Gorge has been steadily increasing for the last few years in terms of the number of people, bike style offerings and new trail access points. The new Glen Summit/Black Diamond Trail and Lehighton Trailhead have offered us more biking options but also price has risen. Not so with Pocono Bike Rental located in downtown historic White Haven, PA.

“We love the low prices and the great sport bikes you offer”, Joan from Ohio says. She ask’s “How is it that you are able to be cheaper than your competition?” Our response is not so simple but can be summed up in the idea that, “Being small isn’t such a bad thing”, says Pocono Bike Rental communications intern Leah Majdic. Also stating, “Through our local retail bike shop partners that sell us their factory refurbished new and trade in bikes, we are able to maintain a low overhead while fulfilling a need for them to turn over their inventory.”Mountain Biking in the Poconos affordable bike rentals“PBR” as their acronym may become has their economy bike prices starting at $14.95 for tag along cabooses, $17.95 kids bikes all the way up to Expert Class adult mountain bikes that rent out for just $29.95.

“Keeping the price low for struggling families is the number one focus”, owner Tom Williams states. Adding, “Being the new guy this was an easy decision since we have low overhead, a tight demographic focus and precise marketing data.” One thing is for sure, win or lose we will help a lot of folks have a blast this summer mountain biking along the beautiful Lehigh River Gorge in the Poconos, PA!

05-02-15 Great day for biking the Lehigh Gorge Rail Trail

pocono bike rental lehigh gorge rail trailPocono Bike Rental celebrates their first customers in their permanent location.

A spry fit grandmother took her athletic grandson for a marathon rail trail ride (White Haven to Jim Thorpe in 3 hours! They called me from Glen Onoko around 10 mins to 3pm and said they even stopped for a quick bite to eat! The pair traveled all the way from Mechanicsburg, PA to come experience the great Northeast Pocono PA region.  The grandmother was in from Sarasota, Florida and vacations here several times a year!

It was great to see the tandem’s faces in Jim Thorpe. They were looking like they were ready for another marathon back home but we still provided their comfortable private shuttle ride back to White Haven in 40 minutes. (Since they were the only shuttle riders we gave them a brief tour of the Jim Thorpe up Broadway and then down the quaint Race Street.)

05-02-15 Pocono Bike Rental Sponsors Disc Golf Weekend in White Haven, PA

Pocono Bike Rental White Haven

Pocono Bike Rental Sponsors Fundraisers for 2 Disc Golf courses in the Poconos

The disc golf mecca as it is locally known is White Haven, PA. With 4 courses within a 10 mile radius we are quite lucky to have ourselves some amazing vistas to play disc golf at. This is the time of year for spring cleanup and maintenance of these courses and this weekend there is 2 fundraisers happening at the Linesville Park Disc Golf Course just blocks from downtown and the Francis E. Walter Dam Course(s) to help offset some of these annual costs.

Pocono Bike Rental is proud to sponsor both events this weekend. All entrants  to both events will receive a free bike rental valid during the 2015 season. Pocono Bike Rental rents high quality mountain bikes for use on the world famous Lehigh River Gorge Rail Trail System. Pocono Bike Rental also sells discs both new, used and new local course fundraiser plastic. You can also rent discs and bags for day play in the local area. Disc Golf Shuttles are available for additional fees to  the local courses and for bikers to Glen Summit, Rockport and Jim Thorpe.disc golf in poconos

Brian Hoch from White Haven had the vision to build a disc golf course near the baseball fields on the edge of town. He carefully planned it out, got the funding through grant money and within a dedicated couple of years we now have 18 holes of brand new baskets, bridge over water, concrete tee boxes and golf bag holders on many holes.  So he and Jonathon Meehan got together and are having a PDGA C-Tier Event that has a special event status for fundraising which allows non-PDGA members to play without any extra fees. This event to be held today is for Linesville and is the 1st annual. Tomorrow’s event at the “Dam” is not a PDGA event but is a fundraiser for the 2 courses there and is historically the annual event is named “Do it for the Dam”. Tom Williams the owner of Pocono Bike Rental and an avid disc golfer is grateful for the opportunity to sponsor these two great annual events.
