Tour Fun Fact #23

In 1870, Thomas Edison perfected printing telegraphs at a laboratory near the Pennsylvania Railroad station (Exchange Place) in Jersey City. Living at the time in an Elizabeth boarding house, the innovator commuted each day on the 7:00am train to Jersey City where he worked until 1:00am.

How to spend 8 hours between flights.......‎‎

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 By selena - Jun 9, 2010

......ask these lovely guys to pick you up from the airport [EWR], take you on a hugely fascinating bike tour along the Hudson, from where you truly get a perspective on Manhattan, a great shot of Lady Liberty, learn about Ellis Island, the railroads and the fabric of America and history and tales of big business, warring gangsters and skullduggery! Then they'll make sure you get a really great meal at one of several neighbourhood restaurants [we went to Madame Claudes...delicious], before they return you well exercised and well fed in good time for your flight. Awesome service from these guys. Whether you live in Manhattan and want to escape for the day, or want something original to do with your eight year old, I can't recommend these guys highly enough.‎

Yo guys great to see you're still open for business as the weather and foliage in liberty state park were amazing today. Once again, a great service and time and am proud to support this business.

Sent this link to the gf, looking forward to trying y'all out.

rented 2 bikes last week, and could not have asked for better service. these guys are flexible, affordable, and the bikes were in perfect condition. I will definitely use them again. what a great new business for JC!

Just got back in from renting with these guys again and want to help spread the word... great, small local business. The new discount card for local bars, ice cream parlors and restaurants is an added bonus. Highly recommended!

Has anyone else tried the new bike rental service Easyriders? My family and a few friends rented bicycles last weekend and it was awesome. So much better than buying our own (and having to store) bicycles. They had all the safety equipment, were priced pretty cheaply and we had a great day out!

They also offered tours to to Liberty State Park, Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island with guide to tell you all about historical facts and details about our awesome (albeit corrupt politically...) city. My son and a couple friends actually want to take a tour and go see Statue, etc. and who wouldn't be thrilled about any kid who actually wants to learn. My son is just 14 and I have let him pretty much go where he feels comfortable walking as long as his cell is on and gets answered since he was 10. After meeting the guys at Easyriders, I'm sure I can trust that he'll be safe on their tour. I'll definitely post a follow-up and let any interested parents know how it goes.

Peace!

Hey guys,
Thank for all the great reviews and JCList for helping promote a new local business in these tough economic times. So far the reviews have been great and we appreciate them all. We look forward to accommodating all of Jersey City residents needs to get around to run some errands or to check out many gems this great city has to offer in an environmentally friendly way (and you get some exercise!).

Many people have inquired about our location and I wanted to make it clear that we are web based and seasonal but have specific locations for bike rental pick ups and tour meeting points (all information available on web site). I don't think anyone will be renting our bikes in 30 degree weather in January.

Now, if everyone could do an anti rain dance this weekend....

Cheers,
Easy Riders JC

Has anyone rented from these guys? Have family members coming in this weekend and want to take them around on a bike.

More reviews from Google Local Businesses: Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 AWESOME!!!!‎ - Amethyst‎ - Jul 6, 2009 These guys are great! My boyfriend and i rented from them on 4th of july and had a blast! Fun guys, convenient location, great pricing and good bikes, what more could you ask for? HIGHLY recommended. Plus they gave us maps Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 - EyeBreakYourNose‎ - Jul 6, 2009 My sister was in town from Texas for the 4th of July weekend, so I rented her a bike from Easy Riders so she could ride with my around Jersey City, Hoboken, and Liberty State Park. Damian was very good and brought the bike directly to my apartment, and picked it up afterwards. It was a fairly new 3 gear cruiser that came with a helmet and lock as part of the package, and we biked all over town. Thanks guys! Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 highly recommend‎ - Rachel‎ - Jun 29, 2009 Easy Riders is great--it's the ZipCar for bikes: accessible & cheap! It's a great way to get acquainted to the neighborhood--and a great excuse not to take the light rail to Hoboken. Damian and Chris are really flexible. It's like renting a bike from a friend.

Hey everyone. I rented bicycles from EZ Riders JC and loved every minute of it. Seriously though, it was super easy. Made reservations and paid with a credit card online. We walked over to pick up the bikes, and they were waiting outside for us with the helmets and bike lock. Location is perfect too, because it's a short ride to Liberty State Park over a footbridge, and biking there is fantastic, with beautiful views and lots of land to explore. Check 'em out. It's definitely worth it.

In celebration of the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's voyage to what would become New York, Macy's is taking its fireworks display to the Hudson River. Due to the massive influx of people, cars and street closings, getting around is going to be hell....

....unless you are biking!

Hey everyone,
Here are some pictures for those who missed our ribbon cutting ceremony for Easy Riders JC with mayor Jeremiah Healy.

Get a few motorcycles... to rent while your at it.
I have my license wasting away, would love to ride occasionally

We will do our best and thank you for the support as we work with the elected officials, including Ward "E" councilman Steven Fulop, in regards to making Jersey City the most bike friendly city in the state. Keep you guys updated on any news!

Again, thanks to Steven Fulop for a resolution on last week's council agenda commending Easy Riders JC.

I really hope your ideas about having marked bike lanes, etc. don't fall on deaf ears. Columbus, in particular, is ripe for bike lanes and they have stalled the paving of the rest of it. Now is the time!

As a JC company seeking to work with Jersey City residents and politicians alike, we look forward to promoting and pursuing better bicycle route signage, the creation of bicycle lanes on streets and the placement of additional bike racks around transport hubs, recreational areas and shopping districts.

Reminder, Thursday June 25th 2009 at 10:00am, Easy Riders JC will have a ribbon cutting ceremony with Mayor Jeremiah Healy by the Exchange Place PATH station (J. Own Grundy Pier).

JC residents are eligible for a bike rental discount!

You have been duped! Of course we will see his mug and slightly off center tie whenever a good, tax paying business comes to town. Look, he has you convinced he is a daily commuter! What a laugh.

Just look around and tell me he gives a rats ass about the safety of our cyclists on our city streets. One example: Columbus was and is perfectly wide enough for bike lanes but the city councils and Healy's shortsightedness, lack of understanding and desire for us to be on public transportation has stymied any efforts to have better, safer roadways for cyclists in JC.

Why not, Jerry was at the ribbon cutting for the grand opening of Grove Street Bicycles and he even rode my folding bike around the block for the photo op.

This is almost hysterical that Mayor Healy has anything to do with something bike related in JC. He wants us all on public transportation.

All the best on spreading the awareness Easy Riders and finally getting some damn bike lanes in this city.

My husband and I tried easy riders. They are very flexible to customer needs. They have good pricing and new bikes and they know the area really well. Instead of buying expensive bikes, renting bikes is a good alternative to add fun to the summer. They are located just a couple of blocks from the path and light rail. They have a special jersey City resident discount which worked well for us. My husband and I would highly recommend renting bikes through easy riders...

I really appreciate your rental discount for being a Jersey City Resident...
