点评:Staff were very welcoming and friendly.
The entire ride lasts about two hours and it is not a loop. Of those two hours, about one hour is spent waiting to cross the road in both directions while all the carts are connected together so traffic can be stopped safely. There is also a 30-minute stop at the end of the tracks, where there is a small resting area by the river (no access) with chairs to relax and recharge before taking the exact same route back to the starting point, plus one additional short stop along the way. There are no bathrooms at the turnaround point.
The seats also become quite uncomfortable after a while.
One seat controls the brake and is responsible for charging about 70% of the motor power. Once you stop pedaling, the motor stops charging, so you have to keep pedaling almost the entire time.
I love the concept and, overall, it was a nice experience. However, I was expecting more impressive scenery—something unique that you wouldn’t normally get to see and that would have a real “wow” factor.
In comparison, taking the Metro-North train along the Hudson River is much cheaper and offers far more spectacular views.
For me, this was a one-time experience. The scenery itself wasn’t particularly memorable. About half of it is what you already see while driving to the location, and the other half passes through wooded areas and a residential neighborhood with “Quiet Please” signs—which feels ironic since the carts themselves are fairly noisy.
In the end, paying for views that are very similar to what you regularly see didn’t feel worth it to me.

整个行程大约需要两个小时,而且不是环线。在这两个小时中,大约有一个小时需要等待所有车厢连接在一起,以便安全过马路。此外,在轨道尽头还有一个30分钟的休息站,那里有一个位于河边的小型休息区(没有通道),配备座椅供乘客放松休息,然后再沿着原路返回起点。途中还会有一个短暂的休息站。折返点没有洗手间。
座椅坐久了会感觉不太舒服。
其中一个座椅控制刹车,并负责为电机充电约70%。一旦停止踩踏板,电机就会停止充电,所以几乎全程都需要踩踏板。
我很喜欢这个概念,总的来说,这是一次不错的体验。但是,我原本期待看到更令人印象深刻的风景——一些平时看不到的独特景色,真正让人眼前一亮。
相比之下,乘坐哈德逊河畔的Metro-North列车要便宜得多,而且沿途风景也更加壮丽。
对我来说,这只是一次体验。沿途的风景本身并不特别令人难忘。大约一半的景色和开车前往目的地时看到的差不多,另一半则穿过树林和居民区,到处都是“请保持安静”的标志——这感觉有点讽刺,因为车厢本身就相当吵闹。
总而言之,花钱去看和平时看到的景色非常相似的风景,我觉得并不值得。
