Pike 2 Bike
Imagine America after the Apocalypse;
highways fallen into disrepair, forests crushing onto the roads, structures like tunnels and service plazas abandoned. No signs of active civilization.
We can take you there,
to a time and place that never existed.
Is this the past, or is it the future?
Located only 22 miles away is America's only abandoned Super Highway turned into a bike trail. This is a section of the Pennsylvania Turnpike "America's First Limited Access Highway" that was abandoned in 1968.

Grouseland offers Pike 2 Bike Behind the Scenes Guided Tours! Come along with us as we take you to see the first rumble strips and road reflectors, explore not only the tunnels but the areas not open to the public. We will explain the history and the future plans of the Pike 2 Bike. This is the the most unique (and strange) ride you will ever do.
These are the areas off limits to the public that we can show you!
Tony with guests up in the air handling rooms
Giant room sized squirrel cages used to move fumes out of the tunnels.
The plenum above the tunnel.
The CCC camp and remains of the last original toll booth.
A geocash.
Some one's sense of humor
You will learn the history and plans for the future.
This, like all of our tours, is at your pace and comfort level.
You can even do it on the back of our Tandem!
If you or someone in your group isn't up to the 17 mile ride you can enjoy it from the back of our tandem, with no effort necessary!
Or you can just book a "Behind the Scenes Guided Tour" with us. The tours generally run 3-4 hours. Bring your own bikes or use ours. We supply the lights, and snacks.
