About Our Brand New Hub 🤘
Welcome to the new era of Buddy Pegs.

We’re a community bike hub and cycling development center serving every type of rider: Balance, Youth, MTB, E-Bikes, Commuters, Cargo, Greenway, Gravel, and beyond.
We help people find, fix, customize, accessorize, exercise, and learn to ride—all while feeling at home in our space.
We show up for our community every day. No gatekeeping. No ego. Just bikes, people, and good energy.
