We are Pedal Powered.
“Biking for transportation is one of the best ways that we can reduce our environmental impact as an individual. We believe that, as your bike shop, we should amplify rather than detract from this impact.”
We believe that a bike related business should be fully environmentally conscious — and this means sticking to a few strong values:
We will travel without the use of fossil fuels between jobs (check out our cargo van below!)
We will recycle all scrap materials, and use upcycled materials whenever possible
We will encourage and attempt repairing rather than replacing parts, whenever possible and financially sensible (upon customer approval)
When replacement parts are needed, we will look for used options before seeking out new parts (upon customer approval)
We will always donate at least 5% of profits to local social and environmental nonprofits
Our cargo van.
We have a small physical space for storage and longer term projects, but our workshop is primarily mobile - we come to you!
Our cargo van is a Yuba Spicy Curry cargo bicycle, sporting a Bosch Cargo-Line pedal assist mid drive motor and 440-lb weight capacity. The electric battery is charged by home solar panels. And many burritos. It doesn’t burn dead dinosaurs, doesn’t take up valuable parking space, can fit (tight) in an elevator, and travel up to 50 miles on a single charge. We also love using local bike lanes and trails instead of sitting in traffic.
