Excellent bike work, chill vibes and damn fine coffee. Arguably the best bike shop in Melbourne! •---• I've been going to Pedal Cyclery for the past 3 years, and their service has been consistently outstanding. Chris and Murray are incredibly detail-oriented, skilled, and fair. They rebuilt a '90s steel-frame for me back in 2015 and continue providing great service and advice - runs smooth like butter. They're also super nice guys, non-judgmental, and eager to help. A few times the bike has needed reworking after servicing or upgrades, and they've always provided prompt attention at no cost. Chris is also an excellent barista so grab a brew while you're there. Have recommended to all friends - well worth stopping by.

I don’t know what it is about bike shops, but they’re usually staffed by the most arrogant, unhelpful people. Thankfully Pedal Cyclery doesn’t play into the stereotype. Now I’m not saying they’re the friendliest bunch, but they’re respectful, helpful and never talk down to a customer, even if said customer knows next to nothing about bikes (speaking from personal experience here). I’ve been here for repairs, parts and accessories, and every time I’m impressed with the service. These guys also clearly love bikes, so if you’re a serious cyclist, they’ve got you covered too. Support the little guys and give this business your patronage.

  • Alex Childs

Peddle Cyclery is a welcoming and inspiring bicycle workshop in Preston. I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone with a passion for bicycles, a respect for fine craftsmanship, and anyone in search of an honest and helpful consultation. As a young woman I felt at ease and inspired by the workshop; staff are friendly, not at all condescending and ready to offer knowledge and tips at no extra cost. I left the workshop with a beautifully and carefully restored bicycle and more knowledge of how to take care of my bike myself so it can last long into the future! Thanks so much Peddle Cyclery.

  • Mark Nolen

Best bike shop in Melbourne! This is the go to shop in Melbourne for repairs/upgrades and advice. Chris sells new bikes but also upcylcles classic frames/parts returning many a fine bike back onto the roads of Melbourne town. Chris has built a bike for me as well as serviced and upgraded my other bikes and has always impressed me with his level of skill and advice. Its worth a visit and you can enjoy a coffee in the lovelly courtyard out back

  • Karen Taranto

So lucky that my local bike shop is Pedal Cyclery! I bought a second hand bike circa 1992 online which wasn’t riding quite right. The team made a few tweaks, all of which they explained to me, and now she’s riding like a dream! I’ve never ridden a bike that fit so well and that I enjoy so much. They were also fast, well priced and very COVID-safe. Thanks so much to the team, my fresh wheels will get me through lockdown 2.0

  • Danny

I feel very lucky to have such an excellent bike shop around the corner. A very inviting space with super friendly staff who really know bikes and are generous with their time. I feel I can completely trust their judgement. They did an awesome job restoring my old road bike which has been a delight to ride since. It’s rare and wonderful to have a place that takes pride in bringing new life back to old things!

  • Cheryl Calvert

Serviced my 2015 Giant road bike. New chain, cassette and bar tape. Wow! My bike is running like it’s new I didn’t realise how much my bike’s performance had degraded until after the service. Now I am picking up PB’s and cups on Strava. I won’t leave it too long between services next time (promise ) Chris’ team are very knowledgeable and I got a great service at a reasonable price. Highly recommend!

  • magnetguy99

Old fashioned service by a guy who knows what he is doing. My bike had a number of small problems like the mudguard not fitting properly and the handlebar tape coming loose. Took it in because I wanted gears adjusted and somebody had recommended Chris as the right guy. He did a brilliant job with the gears and fixed all of the little problems without me mentioning them. Looks like he is my new bike guy...

  • Kassem Bagher

Got my Reid bike and assembled it myself few months ago but i wasn’t happy with it as i had some gear shifting issues, breaks were lose, the chain was rubbing the front derailleur and some steering issues. I tried to fix and adjust things myself but man i don’t even know what the problem is ! The guys at the shop adjusted everything within 30 mins! Very satisfied with the service

  • David Watson

After a friendly phone call, walked my bike just off the beaten track to this cosy little pocket of shops. The place looks like a rustic atelier with lots of funky bikes, tyres and frames hanging from the roof. Cool vibes, and great music playing. The fit looking chaps fixed my bike then and there and service was outstanding. Back on the road in no time to be close to flying again. Top shop.

  • Jaams44

No other Bicycle shop even comes close to being as good Pedal Cyclery. Friendly honest service with a particular old school charm to it which I haven't experienced in years. The guys there certainly know there stuff when it comes to repairs or even advice but its the actual personal service which is outstanding. I'll let the other google review's do the rest. Fantastic.

  • Ollie Warburton

No stars!! I was charged $10 “labour” for him to measure my spokes when purchasing two replacements, something that you would imagine is part of identifying the part. Had been wanting to visit this shop for ages after passing it many times. How such a greedy little money grab has backfired on you fella, will be telling everyone I know to steer clear.

  • shane watts

These guys are twice the price of other bike shops in the area. More to the point, they gave the bike a clean bill of health when in fact it needed a new bottom bracket, charged me for doing work i specifically asked them not to do, failed to do work i had asked them to do, and left grease marks over everything. Just a tragic experience all round.

  • shaun johnson

Purchased an economic ABUS bike lock from here for $40. Total garbage, lasted 1 hour before my bike was stolen. I've seen cable ties stronger. Shop owners response was to berate me for buying a cheap bike lock, even though it's clearly unfit for sale. Refused refund. Can't imagine how they treat customers with more expensive purchases, total hack.

  • Michelle T

Chris is a very reliable and trustworthy person, whenever there is a problem with our bikes, we go to find Chris, he knows exactly what to do and how to fix it. If u are not in a hurry, check out his garden, you will be amazed. He even gives me some plants for free to plant at home so I could get rid of the label of "plant killer". LOL

  • D Y

Chris and everyone else here are amazing. I’ve had a bike built here and am really happy with it. I’ve also bought numerous parts. But most importantly, everyone here always has time to help you out, answer your questions and get you exactly what you need. Prices are very reasonable too. No hipster designer bike shop vibes here!

  • Alfie Hao

Pedal Cyclery is a very good bike repair store. Chris is a real gentleman - friendly and trustworthy. Bike repair job had been done in a timely and professional way, which in my opinion is the most important thing. Charge is reasonable and transparent. Definitely recommend to everyone who wants your bike feel new again!

  • A B

Chris fit me in for a tube on a Friday afternoon, then pointed out a couple of issues that a full service at another store apparently missed 3 months ago. Bike feels as good as new now, and the cost was very reasonable. Really happy with everything and Chris seems to really care about his work.

  • Isabel Young

What a Gem! You don’t find a passionately put together bike shop like this very often. Chris has got it all going on with a wealth of knowledge and skill. If you want a bike you’ll ride EVERYWHERE rain, hail or shine, this is your craftsman! Thanks a million, did i say i love my new bike!?!!

  • Tom Baldock

Sick shop with friendly and helpful staff. Went there to get some advice about an upcoming bike trip and the owner went out of his way to help me fit some new gear and point out potential issues. Sweet stock as well. Would recommend without hesitation, this is not your average bike shop!!

  • Arnold Razon

A while ago I required urgent puncture repairs on my sports wheelchair tyres. The owners sense the urgency, but they also gave me an unlimited warranty. Very polite and good PR skills were displayed. Such an advocate to supporting local business, so keep up the good work and service.

  • Hugh de Gille

Best bike shop in Melbourne! Chris is a top bicycle mechanic and makes excellent coffee. All carried products in stock are carefully and thoughtfully selected and of the highest quality. Very competitive rates on parts, servicing and repairs. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

  • Michael Stapleton

Been to pedal cyclery over the years and I’ve always been really happy with the service of the bike and the care and information provided by all staff. Quality parts and servicing. The advice given goes beyond and really helps keep me and my bike going. Thanks heaps.

  • Jamma Joy

Toby did an extremely thorough examination of my bike to give me a quote for a service. Unfortunately it was more than the bike was worth but they were very gracious about the whole thing and didn't charge me when I decided not to go ahead with it. Would recommend!

  • T A

Chris and Wolfgang are super friendly guys and with lots of knowledge of bikes parts. Did an amazing job on my bike in just a few hours. Made my 35year bike look brand new. Recommend them to anyone in the area looking for a good honest well done service.

  • Flora Bee

Any real customer follow up service won't be guaranteed here.....and where Ray's cycles in High St Preston wouldn't think twice about getting out their quality tools to lift a bicycle seat a few centimetres. What was I thinking in going to this backwater

  • Murphy Katigbak

My ride after the adjustments felt a lot smoother compared to when the other repair shop in Northcote adjusted it. Also loved that time was taken to explain things to me first before proceeding with the adjustments. Thanks for the quality

  • Timothy Johnson

Had to add my voice to the chorus of positive feedback. Easily the best experience that I've had in getting a bike serviced. The team are friendly, knowledgeable and honest. They'll be getting all of my business in the future.

  • Jules P

Over a few yearrs and a couple of bike mods / rebuilds, and regular servicing, have gotten to know the guys well and they are terrific. Honest, passionate, reasonably priced and skilled. You can't ask for much more than that.

  • Steve

Wow! These guys are absolute magicians. I recently brought in my sadly neglected bike which rode like a rusty old Datsun 180B but now it rides like a brand new Porsche. I can't stop taking it for a spin. Thanks guys!!

  • Nathan James

Wolfgang, Chris and the team at Pedal are doing great work. Excellent communication and servicing, highly recommend this shop especially if you have a retro/vintage bike you would like restored or serviced.

  • Sebastian Mueller

Fantastic, prompt and professional customer service. I ordered a Terra Rosa bag from Pedal Cyclery. Chris was very quick to respond to my enquiry, was very friendly and professional. Would highly recommend!

  • luis gonzalez serrano

Just about the only shop I’ve come across that won’t turn their nose up at fixing or finding parts for older bikes. I know I can trust Pedal to do work where others have said ‘just get a new bike’.

  • Marcus Brazier

Great guys. Very friendly and helpful. I come from Epping for their service. Decent labor charges makes the experience A1. They've worked on my e-bike several times and always more than happy. Cus

  • Anu K

Would not recommend getting a custom build from here. Had a really bad experience through the whole process - poor communication and overall service. Left with a bike that still needs work.

  • Cormac

Got a full service done. Still had some recurring issues. Brought the bike in again and they took a look & sorted it all out just for the cost of parts - excellent customer service.

  • Bennett Mackenzie

Chris has tended to all my bike related problems with the eye for detail befitting of a master. I could not recommend Pedal Cyclery enough, get a coffee and get your ride sorted!

  • Joe Miller

Friendly and professional… like what you’d imagine a good shop in a 19th century English village to be. They also refrain from engaging in shaming of the bicyclically illiterate.

  • claire d

Great service! My son has a customised bike so he can ride with his disability, Chris fixed his blown out tyre, and let my son help him in the process, which he absolutely loved.

  • Fern Smith

An excellent custom bike maker. I got my bike to suit someone with aging joints and mobility. I got a beautiful functional bike the envy of anyone who sees it and knows bikes.

  • linda marks

Thanks Pedal Cyclery for the fabulous service you did on my bike. It’s now better than new. You got rid of the awful clunk sound that no one else was able to diagnose and fix.

  • Alex L

A+ service, great tips for riding with baby-so happy we have found someone so great local! Will becoming back very soon and highly recommend to people of DePreston!

  • Declan Furber Gillick

After I got my bike serviced and refitted by these folks, riding it was better than having sex. They genuinely love bikes and it really shows. Cheers, boys

  • Nathan Green
