Shepherdstown Pedal & Paddle

I love these guys so much! I’m fat, middle aged and southern as all get out and they have never once treated me like a dumb girl or someone not to take seriously. We bought our bikes here, we have them serviced here and as long as we live in the area we’ll always use them. They are so great. Super friendly, very reasonably priced and willing to help anyone. I highly recommend them for anything you need for your bike or boat. Great folks here!

Awesome store staffed by awesome people. We stopped in the middle of our C&O bike tour. The staff was helpful and provided lots of information for our trip. A great resource along the trail. The store is small but has a really nice selection.

Very friendly, helpful staff who go above and beyond. I rented a bicycle recently to ride on the C&O, and will certainly be back. They made sure I had all the equipment I needed, offered me tips, and gave me travel suggestions that made my day more enjoyable.

We love Eddie!

I registered on Unilocal to write this. My wife and I were riding from Pittsburgh to DC a couple of weeks ago, along the GAP and C&O, and I rolled into Shepherdstown with a broken spoke on my front wheel. In fact, it was the fourth spoke I’d broken on that wheel in about 250 trail miles, so I’d met pretty much every bike shop proprietor from Confluence to Hancock — good guys, all — but I was resigned to having trashed my wheel. From Jamie, I was hoping to buy maybe 30 – 40 miles before the next break, after which I could limp to DC, bus home to Philly and get a new wheel.
Fast forward two weeks, 80-​or-​so bumpy C&O miles, four hours rattling unprotected around a Bolt bus cargo hold, and maybe 100 commuting miles around my home city. That fix is still holding strong. Where those other very capable mechanics failed, Jamie succeeded, and joy for his work that was infectious. If we are ever back in Shepherdstown, broken spoke or not, I will go back and buy something.

Great shop! Friendly, welcoming, knowledgable proprietor who was willing to help and answer questions. Good basic inventory in addition to a selection of specialty items not often found in shops. Overall great experience. Best (and friendliest) bike shop along the C&O. Highly recommended!

I’ve bought 2 bikes from this shop and have met lots of other cyclists. They have morning group rides on Sat and Sun for beginners up to advanced. They also rent bikes and boats for fun on the Potomac and along the C&O Canal. Very knowledgable and have a great mechanic on site too. Love this business.

We’re very lucky to have a full-​service (not just) bike shop in our little town of Shepherdstown. Jamie really knows his stuff and did a great job putting my bike together. They have tons of accessories and the prices are much lower than I was expecting — very competitive for the stuff I looked at. (So, forget heading to Walmart, just come here!) They’ll also give you loads of ideas for local rides, including maps and their selection of new bikes was amazing for such a small shop. Though I love their current location, I’d like to see them grab a larger retail space elsewhere in town so they could augment their current inventory of products. Excellent place.

Great place to buy or in my case rent a few bikes for the weekend. Staff is friendly and knows their stuff. Had a great time on the C & O canal and the Antietam Battle field. Great bikes!
