Pedal Pusher

Terrific service. I took my bike in to get the tires and brakes checked and have them look over the bike ahead of a long, organized bike ride. They were really terrific. Ian was especially helpful.

Great place– very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent customer service, wonderful personalities. Just passing through and needed a quick fix– guys were super helpful and took great care of the problem!

Originally, I was going to buy a bike from another shop. I shall not name that place in this review. I was not impressed with the sales guy from the other shop so I found Pedal Pusher from Unilocal.I normally don’t shop in Harrisburg except the usual malls, so I wasn’t expecting to be impressed.
I was wrong. The staff who greeted me was extremely helpful. He helped my daughter picked out a bike and let her test the bike in a near-​by parking lots. We spent about ½ an hour testing it and decided to do business with Pedal Pusher. They even give us a fair value for our used bike as a trade in. I highly recommend this shop.

Attentive and courteous staff. No flimflam. Fair prices. Highly recommended. They helped me get rolling again quickly when I was stranded with a flat.

On the way to MTB Nationals and wanted to stop on the way to prep a high end wheel set with new tread and some sealant. I called ahead and spoke to Jim to let him know our desires and to see if we could squeeze in some time on the fly. He said he would be glad to help and when we arrived, help he did. Quaint shop, nothing too chi-​chi, but they handled my daughter’s wheel like experts. This wasn’t too tough of a job, but all staff was pleasant and full of little bike tid bits and info. Inexpensive fix for the wheels and best wishes from the whole crowd. We left satisfied. Go visit them for your biking needs!

The staff here was brilliantly helpful in finding an unusual part I needed to fix my 70s moped. The friendly gentleman working the counter was more than happy to search their salvaged bicycles in the basement for it. I will be back every time I need anything bike or moped related. Strongly recommend this place.

Truly the best customer service in the area. Casual riders will not feel odd here. This has become the only place that I buy bike stuff from. The place is very reasonable with prices. They are not cheap, but carry good quality stuff. If you know what a Brooks saddle is you will go nut for having a place like this in the area.

We have been trying to buy new road bikes for a while now… Have been to numerous bike shops in the area and always left feeling confused and discouraged and almost gave up on the idea all together. Even though it was a little out of the way, we decided to try pedal pushers as a last resort. I am so incredibly glad we did! We are brand new to the sport so they spent almost an hour with us explaining everything about the bikes at a level we could understand. They were open and honest about everything and never tried to push bikes that were out of our price range (unlike EVER other bike shop we had been to). While we were there I noticed the interaction between them and other customers… They knew most by name. It was just a wonderful experience! We now have our bikes ordered and feel confident in our choice! Super excited for them to arrive and so glad pedal pushers will be there to help with getting them set perfectly for us! I can’t recommend them enough!

Pedal Pusher is a great little bike shop. Very friendly staff, you couldn’t ask for friendlier people. Located just off Walnut Street, there is a handful of parking spots on the side of the building. We stopped in for an estimate to get tune up our bikes for spring. Repaired tires, inner tubes, tightening nuts and new training wheels for the kids. They have a decent selection of new and used bike, shoes & gear. Turn around time was about 2 weeks, as promised. They didnt try and over sell me on anything, the quote actually came in a little cheaper than expected.

Absolute top-​notch biz.
After a frustrating experience at a competing shop that was near my home (see my review on «Downhill from Here» in Palmyra), I went to Pedal Pusher to search for a helmet.
Now, make no mistake, I can’t just go anywhere for a helmet… Target and Wal-​Mart are out. I have a size 8−½ head, so finding a helmet has always been a «needle-​in-​a-​haystack» adventure.
I walked in, immediately Jeff said «hello» and asked what I was looking for. He pointed me to their HUGE selection of helmets, specifically two models that were made for very large noggins. He even helped me adjust the one I tried on to where it fit perfectly.
Great place, so-​so location, great team.

I purchased bikes from them and had them service several bikes. The staff are low-​key and friendly, and they never try to sell you more than you need. That being said, if you want the top shelf equipment, they can hook you up with that too!

I took my old bike that was sitting in the shed for about 10 years in for a tune up. They said they were very busy so it would take about 2 – 3 weeks, which I didn’t mind since I wasn’t in a rush to get my bike back. They replaced one of my tires fixed my gears not working at all and looked over the whole bike for cheaper than what the original person told me it would cost. This is a great place I will go back again for anything bike related I need.

I’ve been to pretty much all of the bike shops in this area. Pedal pusher is easily the best. The location could be better, but it’s definitely worth a trip out of the way for the excellent service. They are also (I’m pretty sure, at least) the only place to get a Surly frame around here. I stopped in for a small $ 3 item, but totally forgot that I didn’t have cash. The owner of the shop just told me to take it and if I came back to pay for it then. A really classy operation.

These guys are top-notch…not in it for the money, but for love of biking. Drop in and hang out, and you’ll learn all sorts of useful information just by overhearing it. Staff is friendly and laid-​back.
The sales approach is no-​nonsense and straightforward, selection is good, and repairs are affordable and done right in the main room so you can see how it’s done (for you do-​it-​yourself types). And if they don’t sell it, they’ll order it for you.
Ask for Jim… he’s the man.

top notch service on 6÷5÷08. friendly, helpful salesman. He did not try to sell me on the more expensive bike.
(his least expensive model was $ 385)

If you’ve ever been shopping for a two wheeled human powered machine and wandered into a sleek, polished, spandex snappin’ type franchised bike store, you know it can be an overwhelming exerience that might leave you feeling self-​conscious about size of your wheels and the amount of hair you let grow on your legs.
Here in Harrisburg, however, we are quite fortunate to have a place like Pushers for buying or servicing bicycles. I recently moved into midtown and decided to sell the old gas guzzlin motorized money pit and opt for the freedom of bipedal movement and two wheels. I’ve always enjoyed riding a bike, but have never really gotten into it beyond cruisin around the various towns I’ve called home.
Pedal Pushers is reminiscent of the bike shops I remember when I was younger… friendly helpful staff who take the time to get you exactly what you need, and not upsell you to something you don’t. I ended up with a (cheap) old mongoose mountain bike, and the guys at pushers took the time to tune it up, replace much needed parts and tell entertaining stories, all at no extra charge!!! They also took the time to explain in layman terms the why, when, and how of the tune-​up and workings of the bike. They were quite personable, remembered my name, and seemed to truly care about each customer that walked in the door.
They have a great selection of new bikes of all sorts as well, and also have a good inventory of accessories likes racks, helmets, shoes, and yes, even spandex.
