Our Story

A family-run shuttle, born on these trails.

My family and I have enjoyed spending time on these trails for years. The memories made have been priceless. I established Sunshine Luggage Shuttle to ensure you and your family can experience the trails to the fullest — without dragging your gear behind you.

In Memory
Sunshine Luggage Shuttle was greatly inspired by the late Lawrence "Larry" Walsh of Pittsburgh and Confluence, PA. He was a dear friend, outdoorsman, cyclist, visionary — and he greatly valued our area and trail towns. There was no one like him: no older gentleman as sharp, witty, endearing, hard-working, helpful, and selfless. His life will always be fondly remembered, and part of his legacy shines on in Sunshine Luggage Shuttle.
