I had called earlier in the day to inquire about cycling helmets. They told me the brand they carried which I initially wasn't interested in but decided to make the 1.5 hour trip to check them out. Upon arrival we were impressed with the selection of bikes but the helmet selection was limited to one brand and sizes were limited as well. As I was looking for a helmet my wife was looking at bikes. A sales person who was initially working with a customer had that customer walk away. At this point my wife said hello and the sales person halfway aknowleged her and walked away ignoring the fact that she may have a question. We decided to shrug this off and continue to look around. We took a stroll to their basement where they have more bikes and did some preliminary sizing for my wife as we are in the market to purchase a new one for her. Then wee made our way back upstairs and back to the helmets. I had decided that I liked one of the helmets but wanted to compare with others they had on display but couldn't find the color or size I needed. After having other employees ignored us I decided it was time to go and internet shop for a helmet. As we were leaving the employee that blew my wife off earlier finally took some interest in us. At this point we had been in the store for at least a half hour. I told him I was looking at their helmets and interested in the Specialized Search helmet they had on display but wanted to compare with other helmets they had. He proceeded to take us to the helmets to show us comparable models one of which was the LOMA. He then walked back to the counter to look and see if they had my size and color I wanted in stock. He then announced that they only had black. Then as I was asking him about the Propero helmet they had on display he turned to help another costomer that had walked in and never acknowledged my question. It's unfortunate that a shop that was recommended to me by a friend fell so short of how highly he and his wife spoke of them.

If you had a bicycle as a child, or even better, continue to appreciate cycling to this day, then Bicycle Heaven will appeal to you, especially if you know what an Orange Crate is. Visually entertaining and very well organized, with rows of bicycles and their bits and pieces and accessories literally everywhere, Bicycle Heaven is a feast for the eyes. It's as if the bicycle shop you knew as a kid was still alive and well. There seems to be a bicycle from virtually every era, with practically every manufacturer represented in one way or another and every type as well, from BMX, to classic beach cruisers to mt. bikes and the ten speed you rode as a kid. I appreciated the bikes I grew up with, and even saw the same bikes right there on the showroom floor. What is amazing still, is how many people restore bikes, just like those that restore classic cars, or furniture or homes for that matter, and those restored bikes are here in one place in all of their glory. It's the love of the bicycle as the machine it is, and Bicycle Heaven is truly a heaven for bicycles. Don't forget to make a generous donation, and thank you Craig for all you effort and love for everything related to cycling and for being from Pittsburgh. Cheers! read more

Bicycle Heaven is awesome! I walked in and Russel Crowe the actor was there. My boy from Gladiator!!! That place rocks! I stopped by based on a friends recommendation (and my chain snapped on the trail) and was blown away by the place! Gigantic, antique old stuff, new stuff, thousands of bikes and millions of parts. I had my bike fixed while I toured the museum (by the way it's free) and 10 minutes later my bike was fixed. I can't remember a bike shop EVER fixing my bike while I waited. It was kinda crowded, but what do you expect with a bike shop/ antique museum on a weekend? I took down a few of my friends who are all avid bikers, and they were all blown away. I don't care how much experience you have in cycling, there is nothing like this place. Prepare to be shocked by the sheer volume of cool stuff. I saw Elvis there as well. Really you need a lot of time to check it out. Only problem is trying to find the place from a car. Pittsburgh and the old school weird highway system! This is definitely a hidden gem for Pittsburgh and it's my new bike shop. They buy bikes too so I can get rid of some of my old ones. read more

What a fantastic place! Even if you aren't a bike enthusiast, you'll be amazed with a visit here. Craig, Liz, and the rest of the staff are passionate and enthusiastic and embody the friendliness of Pittburghers that we encountered on our brief trip. We spend 2 hours in the museum/shop and will definitely be returning. The mount of bikes on view is mind-boggling; it's a visual and factual history of biking in one location. Everyone there is easy to talk to and they have tons of information to share on the bikes on-premises. Bike, drive, run, or fly to this Bicycle Heaven and see for yourself.

For anyone who's ever had or ridden a bicycle, a visit to Bicycle Heaven will be memorable. But if you truly love bicycles and appreciate their beauty, functionality, and history, this experience will leave you awestruck! Craig's collection is incredible, and he uses his artistry and passion for bicycles to create a visual playground that pictures can't really capture. Just a few blocks off the Ohio River segment of the Three Rivers Heritage Trail, Bicycle Heaven is easy to find. Need parts or repairs? Looking for an unusual bicycle item? Want to talk bikes? We've found the staff to be knowledgeable and helpful and great to talk with. There is no entry fee, but donations are welcome. If you're anywhere near Pittsburgh, put Bicycle Heaven on your short list. You won't be disappointed! read more

If this is not bicycle heaven, it must be close. There are all sorts of bikes and I can't claim to have seen them all in one trip so I am sure there will be a return trip, perhaps a destination trip for my bicycling group, in the future. My late 1960s Western Auto ten speed has to be in here somewhere and I didn't find it yet. The bikes are fantastic, the model trains are G gauge -- so perfect, the drone airplane is cool, the flourescent paint room is groovy, the T-shirts are well done. It was good to see the Beatles were included (coming from someone who has shaken the paw of a dog who shook John Lennon's hand), Pee-Wee Herman is rehabilitated and Craig was very nice, very informative and fun to talk to. I'm not sure what else you could want! read more

My husband and I went to see this bike museum today. What a great place! Remember the bike you had as a kid? They probably have one here. So many bikes, honestly hard to believe! There are bikes from movies, including the upcoming Mister Rogers film starring Tom Hanks, rare bikes with belt drives, wooden wheels, even a driveshaft. Something for everyone, including Elvis, Three Stooges, and Marilyn Monroe memorabilia, old BMX bikes that were raced in North and South parks. We definitely would like to go back again. Every inch is covered with something cool to see, even the ceiling! Take the time to visit--you won't regret it. Admission is free, but they accept donations to keep this place going. read more

I absolutely love Bicycle Heaven. I feel very lucky that this place is located in Pittsburgh. It takes you back in time. Biking is a hobby of mine but I think I would enjoy this place just from a history museum perspective as well. You will find a wide variety of bikes, parts, and other antique pieces. The owner Craig and his staff are friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and quick to strike up a conversation. They often share the knowledge and history of the bikes, the museum, and more. If you visit Pittsburgh and don't make the stop, you missed out. If you live here, what are you waiting for? Perfect activity for a rainy day. Pittsburgh tends to get a few of them per year. read more

I love this place, it's the best Bicycle museum in America. There is so many bike to see from 1860 to now, Bicycle Heaven also have a lot of great stuff like the train on the top go around the museum, there's Elvis, The Beatles... Pee Wee Herman from the movie, Bike grew in the tree "I never see Bicycle grew in the tree in my life". So many things to enjoy, It's took me 3 hours to see complete history of bicycle, It's also the only place you can see 4 different color rare Bowden Space lander, and also I heard they are trying to have a reality show at Bicycle Heaven 'It's would be awesome'.
