Hubby and I are traveling over to RI tomorrow to do this trail. Looking forward to it.
We hope you have a great time. It's a fun trail, and we still dream about the lobster role we had in Bristol right on the edge of the trail!
@@Adventuresonebikes On the 4th of July, the Town of Bristol shoots off the VERY BEST of Fireworks displays in the area ..... And It is done right next to where you enjoyed your Lobsta Roll 😅😉 On a barge in the harbor ...... Very AWESOME time, for ALL ages !!
@@esousa486 Thanks for sharing. Now I want both Lobster and great fireworks!!!
This trail looks awesome. I need to look up where it is exactly and hopefully ride it someday. Thanks for sharing another nice trail.
Hi. The East Bay Bike Path is a great trail. I hope you get a chance to ride it. We hope to "see" you on our next adventure. Thanks for watching. We appreciate hearing from you.
Living about 12 mile from the Bristol end of the East Bay Bike path, I have ridden it at least 70 times (from end to end, and back...) It's my personal FAVORITE in All of Southern New England !!! Far BETTER that others, like the Cape Cod Rail Trail.... (that one is NOT as scenic, except for a few areas) .... Or the Blackstone path that is quite Hilly in spots..... And The East Bay path offers plenty of "food & drink" spots along the way ..... There is even 2 Bike shops along side the path 👌👍
Thanks for sharing your experience. It is a great trail, and we talk about getting back there again soon. (I think it's also about that great lunch we had!) We appreciate your support. 🙋♀🦞🚲
I did the ride once on my regular pedal bike, and want to do it again with my e-bike but I'm not sure...
In my state (CT) and most surrounding states (NY, MA, VT, NH) e-bikes are allowed on most rail trails.
I heard that e-bikes are not allowed on rail trails RI but it's not technically enforceable by police, so I've been avoiding RI on my e-bike rides just to be safe.
Do you see lots of e-bikes on the trail? Would it be okay to bring my e-bike or should I wait for the new laws (which I hear are being debated and are coming soon)?
Just my opinion, but I wouldn’t worry about riding your ebike on any trail. As you indicated, it’s highly unlikely anyone is monitoring the trails. I think that if one rides respectfully it doesn’t matter what you are riding - no one is going to bother you. BTW; I’m busy looking at the trail ahead, so I don’t often notice what other riders are on. But I do see a fair number of ebikes everywhere.
Nice, scenic views! Although… your flat tire experience made me think about my own situation. I never travel with a patch kit or anything…hmmm…
Glad our mistake is helpful to others. We will travel differently from now on! Thanks for watching.
Well ..... That was an adventure! (sorry about the flat tire)
The scenery on that trail is gorgeous! That restaurant looked like nice place to eat.
Thank you for sharing! 😊
I guess if you look at all the rides we’ve taken, going this long without a problem is a blessing. The lobster roll was fantastic - I want to go back and get another!! Thanks for watching.
I'm in a conundrum....watch the vid for the ride or whatever you're partaking of for lunch!!!! I'm kinda glad you had that flat and videoed it as we are gonna do the North Bend Trail starting the 17th.....and yes I will get some stuff for the tires and have a big a$$ed flashlight so Nancy doesn't get scared in the Haunted Tunnels!!!! Great vid, keep em coming.
Hi Don -- that lobster sandwich was fantastic! The tuna was exceptional as well. I could have sat there all day as there were so many good things on the menu! But we had to cycle back to the car. North Bend sounds like fun - can't wait to hear about it. I just bought a bright extra light because we are likely riding through a couple of tunnels more than a mile long soon!!!

Thanks for watching.
Hey, great to see you guys back in Rhode island again! Too bad about the flat, but at least you were pretty close to the end of the ride. Slime and Flat Out are probably the two most popular tire sealants. I'm not sure if Flat Out has a version for tires with inner tubes though. I know slime does so that's what I use. In my experience it will get you home but you'll still have to fix or replace the tube later.
As for the trail, that's definitely one of the best in the state. I think I still like the Blackstone River trail a little better, it has far fewer street crossings and no annoying detours. Both beautiful trails though!
The flat meant we didn't get to the Air Line Trail -- but it was good that it happened in an area where we could easily get help. Thanks for the info on the tire repair options. We hope to "see" you again on our next adventure.
Sorry to hear about your tire I assume everything worked out and you came back together safely. Beautiful ride and the sailboats were a joy to look at on this video. Still thinking about a ride through Europe?
Hi. We are all safe. I wish our ride had a sunnier day, but it was a great ride regardless. We still are thinking about a bike/river cruise through Europe, but haven't done anything more than think about it. It's not on this year's list :(
I think it will happen to us at one time. I rode on my own today and when I pulled in the garage my pedal fell off. My husband came out and said it was stripped???
Off to the bike shop tomorrow, I sure was lucky.
Glad to hear you were home and weren't hurt!! Thanks for sharing.
Where do you guys live? I noticed that you do a lot of videos (which are really great) in the eastern U.S.
Hi. We live in Upstate NY. Up until a few months ago we were both working, so our bike trips were limited to the Mid-Atlantic, New England area. We just completed a 40 day road trip out west so we will be highlighting trails from Wisconsin to Washington over the next 7 months. One week ago we posted Colorado’s Glenwood Canyon trail. This Sunday the Olympic Discovery Trail in Washington will go live. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for responding! I live in central New Jersey and I was happy when you posted a video of the Delaware and Raritan Canal trail. Also it is awesome to watch you guys ride trails and explore around the us!

Thanks for watching!
Don't feel too bad about the flat tire with no patch and pump. I recently had a cut into the sidewall from a rock that I couldn't fix with a patch. Call it what you will, stuff just happens you can't do anything about.
I'm glad we were in civilization when it happened. The day before we were on a trail that didn't have much in the way of finding help. Thanks for your comments. We hope to "see" you on our next adventure.
Do you do this full time? Or weekends?
We are not full time UA-camrs. It is just a hobby. But we do enjoy finding new bike paths to ride and get out as often as we can. We just completed a 40 day trip across the country with about 13 new trail rides. We will be publishing them over the next 6-8 months.
How did you muster up the energy to ride after that scrumptious meal you had?
It was really tough! I wanted to stay and have another!! Thanks for watching.
@@Adventuresonebikes Another meal or another brewsky? Can't have too many of those, it can dehydrate you as you are riding and sweating.
@@pedrofernandez8729 For me it’s another lobster roll - that one was sooooo good. I don’t like to drink much when I bike. Need to ride safe. Have a great night.
Ebikes are simply motorcycles.
It's unfortunate there are so many misconceptions out there about ebikes. Calling e-bikes simply motorcycles is like comparing a scooter to a spaceship - both cool, but totally different. Sure, they both have wheels and engines, but that's where the comparison ends. I know there are people out on the trails that have gas engine "ebikes" -- but that is not what we ride. Our bikes do not have a throttle and the electric assistance augments our pedaling effort -- if we don't pedal the bike doesn't move.
Hard to say a one horsepower bike is a motorcycle- A push lawn mower is more powerful.
@@Adventuresonebikes I feel e bikes have a place but from my experience they are going way too fast. I don't think e bikers realize just how fast they are going. And they are barely pedaling.
