Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our group of friends have done yearly cycling trips for over 25 years. This year we chose to cycle the Gap trail and used Golden Triangle to rent our bikes. We have never had this level of service before. The staff had our bikes ready and waiting for us, made fit adjustments and had us on our way in record time. Our bikes were great - no problems whatsoever. Well done Golden Triangle!

I can’t say enough about the quality bikes that we rented from Golden Triangle Bikes. All the staff members that I interacted with were professional, curious and extremely helpful. The day we picked the bikes up, we went over everything from top to bottom. And the saddlebags, wow I didn’t have to take anything on my back thanks to those big saddlebags, and what a gift to be able to drop the bikes off in Washington DC after starting off in Pittsburgh. It doesn’t get any better than that! I can’t recommend Golden Triangle Bikes enough!!

Tom and team were amazing. Bike was in EXCELLENT condition. They helped us out with some needs while riding the route, via text with amazing response times. The GAP and C&O are world class - and golden triangle is a big reason why.

I highly recommend Golden Triangle bike services if you’ve ever considered biking the GAP trail! This was a bucket list trip for us and the trip did not disappoint. Our group of 2 couples live in Florida so we relied on Golden Triangle for the complete trip planning. We told them what dates we wanted to go, how long we wanted to ride each day (we chose 4 days for the 150 mile ride) and they set up the rest. Aiden was great to work with and it could not have gone smoother. From the great bikes they set us up with that were individually fitted for us at the start, to the B & B’ accommodations that were set up for us along the way, the timely luggage transfers and a detailed itinerary of places to stop along the way with many suggestions for places for coffee, lunch, etc. Everything was great! We lucked out with good weather and lots of foliage and wildlife along the trail. It is truly an amazing ride and Golden Triangle was so easy and accommodating to work with, I will definitely be recommending them to everyone I in the area and use them again when we find ourselves back in Pittsburgh.

Four couples of us, all cycling friends, just finished a five day cycling trip on the GAP Trail. The trip was organized as specified by us, e.g. desired daily mileage, types of accommodations, bike rentals by Golden Triangle Bike. They were wonderful to work with, easy to communicate with, prompt to respond and made helpful suggestions. It was a wonderful trip! Everything went as planned and was implemented on time and efficiently, e.g. pickup of our luggage from each B&B. Our accommodations each night were unique and comfortable. Our visit to Falling Water was arranged by Golden Triangle and was a highlight of the trip. Our biggest problem was finding food each day, a combination of pandemic factors, end of season closings and just plain few choices to begin with in the very small towns along the way. This is no gourmet heaven but we didn’t expect that to begin with. Believe me, we didn’t starve. Our rental bikes including two e-bikes were good, well maintained bikes that suited the trail we were on. We were outfitted with everything we needed on the bike - helmets, odometers, tire patching kits and pump, roomy panniers, lights, etc. We also did a bike tour of Pittsburgh the day before our GAP trip also arranged by Golden Triangle Bike. It was informative, fun, and gave a good overview of Pittsburgh history. We would highly recommend Golden Triangle Bike for trips on the GAP Trail.

We used Golden Triangle Bike Rental for our recent Pittsburgh to Washington DC bike tour on the GAP and C&O Canal path. It was easy to set the rental up and on the start day of our tour, a staff member at the shop did a great job at getting us set up on our bikes. This was the first bicycle tour for my wife and they were great at setting up her bike for optimal comfort and showed her how everything worked. This really put her mind at ease, and mine. It was so convenient that their rental location is adjacent to the bike trail too.
When we arrived in DC, the drop off location was convenient and easy to find as well. We enjoyed taking a last spin around the monuments on the way to the drop off point.
They made this entire process incredibly easy and I'd highly recommend Golden Triangle for a day ride or multi-day tour. Get out and ride!

We've done a lot of riding and have our bikes, so normally we wouldn't have wanted help with a bike trip. I'm so glad that we contacted Golden Triangle anyway! The GAP/C&O in 6 days was a lot of fun, and having wonderful places to stay each night really enhanced the experience. Dana's relationships ensured that each of the hosts was happy to see us and ready to care for the weary travelers. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience, and the GTBR edge made it amazing.

Aidan and Chris at GTB took great care of me. Flew into PGH and back home from DC so the extra air baggage costs and hassle of bringing my own bike with 2 assembly/dissassembly sequences plus schleping around town to find a bike box on the return home made a one way rental from GTB a no brainer.
Rented a nice Surly LHT which was perfectly set up for the ride. Brought my own saddle and side bags and GTB installed them on the rental. Did not use clip in shoes but the will change those out for you as well. Pick up took about 10 minutes and we were off. Drop off went like butter.
Definitely do this ride and hit up GTB...also pick up one of their Heinz Ketchup Water Bottles!
Cheers

These guys went above and beyond!!! I flew to Pittsburg to compete in a triathlon and when MY bike was lost in transit after shipping days prior, I contacted Golden Triangle and not only did they have a performance bike for me to rent, a tech Steve came in on his day off when the shop was closed. In addition, James helped me coordinate all the details to make my race seamless. Awesome crew!!

Dana and the whole team at Golden Triangle did a great job for us on the Gap ride. The ebikes were excellent and perfect for our trip. The day we picked them up everything was very professionally prepared and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. Although we booked our own hotels, the staff was available to us for questions, and provided very quick and helpful responses each time we contacted them along the way. The ride itself was just as epic as expected, so much so that we were ready to start planning a double for the future (round trip Pittsburgh-DC-Pittsburgh. We have done through rides in Japan, New Zealand, Ireland and Austria. The GAP ranks right up there. Planning notes (1) we had always planned to do the ride in autumn, but the leafy springtime was amazing and is highly recommended. (2). We chose ebikes because that’s what we ride at home now and we enjoy them a lot. We wondered what distance the batteries would give on rental bikes. These Treks can do 50 miles or more without worry if you stay in Eco.

Where do I pick up the bike and return it for a three day tour. Are hotels included inthe price?
I need a bike with a friendly seat for an old man over 6ft 3 inch.

The best way to contact them is to call. I don't know if it's possible to rent a bike and drop off at a different location. Just ask them.
