My wife and two young adults spent a week cycling around the Kitsap Peninsula and the Olympic Peninsula. Bob, from PT Cyclery, hooked us up with a tandem, maps, recommendations on best seafood and chocolate, and the local happenings. He was the epitome of customer service and made our trip delightful. We had never cycled this part of the Puget Sound, so we were very grateful for his guidance. We look forward to our next trip!
