I grew up at Bass Lake in the early '90s, right as mountain biking was taking off. I still come back every summer, and I'm grateful a shop like Pedal Forward is here. Serving locals and helping visitors find the good stuff. Now that I live in Seattle, I've love watching all their YouTube trail videos. They've filmed all the classic trails, even some new ones like 'Blind Squirrel,' and make planning rides easy. Over July 4th, I rented a Specialized Turbo Levo. They did a professional fit adjustment, free of charge, and the staff pointed me to new trail improvements I would've missed, even as a former local. Thirty years on, the sport keeps evolving. Shops like Pedal Forward are a big reason why. Keep it up, brothers. read more

Pedal Forward is absolutely legit. Great service, tons of inventory, super friendly to out-of-towners. What really sets them apart though is they actually give back - they're heavily involved with trail stewardship days and support the Yosemite South Gate Trail Cooperative with both time and money. If you're in town looking to ride, stop by. You won't regret it. read more

Outstanding location! Jorge is the best, always great to meet a biz owner who's great at what they do! We came by without reservations, and were still well taken care of. Family of 3 biked around the area (most folks go up to Yosemite, but we just cruised Oakhurst) read more

Got my gravel bike hooked up with a tubeless setup at Pedal Forward and couldn't be happier. Jorge is the kind of guy who makes you feel like your bike is his top priority -- super friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about getting people rolling right. Whether you're a seasoned rider or just dusting off the cobwebs, this shop has that perfect mix of pro-level service with small-town friendliness. No attitude, no upsell -- just honest, solid work and good conversation while your tires get the love they deserve. Glad to have them in Oakhurst -- whether you're passing through or a local rider, it's a great place to stop, get tuned up, and roll out smoother than ever. read more

Thank you Mike for saving our bike trip and repairing my flat tire so quick and efficiently. Even though you were super busy, but you still accommodated our last minute request to repair our flat tire which ultimately saved our trip!!! read more

Quite simply the most professional, helpful, and uplifting rental experience I have had in my 10+ experiences with bike rentals. From the start of our experience renting a bike to the very last minutes handing the bikes back off at the bike shop, Mike modeled professionalism and kindness. The experience started with an online bike reservation that was seamless in large part due to Mike calling me back after I tried to get ahold of the shop to confirm that I had not needed any further details --which was greatly appreciated as I had wanted to clarify the sizing. After deciding on a bike that would work best we arrived at the bike shop and Mike went one step further giving us very detailed instructions on the bike ride most suited to our needs named "007", which ended up being the perfect ride for us with the perfect blend of difficulty and fun. Lastly, on our return, Mike followed up our ride with a smile and a drink as we chatted about the success of the day. If you want to rent a bike or work with a bike shop that is a premier destination not only for quality supplies and service but also as a place to be reminded of the goodness of humanity, you have found your place. Thanks so much Mike and Pedal Forward for a grand time! read more

This place is amazing! Definitely the place to go in town to get your bike rental and repairs done. Mike was accommodating with our biking needs! I highly recommend pedal forward when you are visiting oakhurst!! (: very pleased with the service! read more

We had a great experience. The bikes were excellent, way way way better than what is available in the park. The staff were super friendly and helpful. They helped install the bike rack and expertly got the bikes ready and explained everything. When I called to reserve, a staff member even offered to deliver the bikes to us on his day off. We declined but it was nice to have offered. Riding in the park was the highlight of the trip so far. It's the best way to explore the valley and is a must for any visitor. read more

Mike and Jorge at Pedal Forward Bikes know exactly what customer service is. Mike was able to get our Family of 6 situated for an amazing day of biking. We decided to rent with PFB vice the Yosemite Valley because of the quality of bikes offered. Jorge did a great job getting the bikes together and fit for each rider. We rode about 15 miles all together down in the Yosemite Valley with absolutely no issues. Everyone had a blast and would highly recommend renting from Pedal Forward Bikes. Tip: park in Yosemite Village and ride Counter Clockwise via Southside Dr. to Yosemite Falls-El Capitan then cross over and work your way up Northside Dr to Curry Village - Tenaya Creek-Mirror Lake-Yosemite Village read more

I had a broken chain on my son's bike and Jorge fixed it right away! He got it done. Thank you Jorge for the swift service! would definitely recommend this place. Thanks again. Bill read more

The guys at Pedal Forward were absolutely amazing! Bike rentals were closed in the valley, so we looked up rentals in oakhurst and found them. I am so glad we did! It was such an easy process. Very helpful in picking out bikes, talking us through the process of renting for 5 days, helping us with the hitch, and checking the bikes before we left with them. The bikes themselves were fantastic. I am not that experienced with bike riding and they found a bike for me that was easy to ride and I had an absolute blast riding around the valley. It's so great to see that there are small businesses with nice people still out there. We would absolutely choose them again on our next Yosemite adventure. We would recommend them 1,000%. read more

Mike made the buying process super easy. He answered all questions. He called when bike came in and was fully assembled and ready to pick up. The Rad Bike looked amazing. My wife is very happy. When I arrived, I found a few more items in their store I wanted to purchase and have added on. Jorge made time to install them on the spot. Mike also made time for me to try another one of his bikes to see if it was something I might consider. Appreciate the awesome experience and customer service. Thanks again. read more

The guys at Pedal Forward saved my bike vacation over a holiday weekend with a last minute brake repair, replacing my worn pads, bleeding the front brake, and straightening the rotor. I had driven about 4.5hrs to meetup with friends, camp, and ride, but realized my brake pads had gotten bumped out while the bike was in storage without the wheel installed. I ended needing all that work and the guys at Pedal Power got it done right away, so I was able tonride that very day as well as the following day. Really professional attention to detail and service! They're also very knowledgeable about where to ride! So grateful for the help and service! read more

Awesome bike team. We went in to the shop and Jorge helped us out. He was very knowledgeable on what we needed for the trails. Him and his business partner had gave us information on what trails to go for first timers. We rented 3 mountain bikes and a bike rack. He had suggested Jackson St over by Tenaya lodge. We went up on the trail cut down to off-road path to a waterfall! It was epic! I definitely recommend going to Pedal forward. They have extreme mountain bikes for beginners and pro riders. read more

Took our bikes to get tubes changed here. Will be our go to bike shop from now on. Went to big 5 for tubes to change ourselves but they didn't have the sizes we needed so we came in to this shop.

They do private bike tours, which we will consider for our traveling group next time. Great experience! read more

This has got to be the best bicycle store in the county. My girlfriend and I were on the way to Yosemite with our bicycles. My girlfriend forgot her helmet and was looking to buy one. The owner just gave her an old rental helmet for free. On our way back, we stopped to return the helmet. Nadine wanted a more comfortable bicycle seat. The owner sold us a new, open package, padded bicycle seat for ten bucks. He cut the seat shaft so it could adjusted lower and totally tuned up her bicycle. These guys are great for rentals and sales and they give great advice! read more

Awesome bike shop offering rentals and right next to Yosemite! Mike was really patient and provided excellent service throughout our communication with him (via email and phone). Things we liked: 1) Bikes are practically brand new! Amazing condition and we had a fantastic time biking across Yosemite Valley with them. 2) Big one: Mike opened the store especially for us on Thanksgiving morning! 3) We ended up renting 2 bikes paying for one day but returned them later than due to unexpected traffic that got us delayed on our return from Yosemite. Mike was very understanding, told us not to worry about it and didn't charge us extra and just told us to return the bikes the following morning. read more

We were staying in the town of Oakhurst for our week visiting Yosemite. Upon getting ready to go on a bike ride we realized one of our tires deflated. Weren't sure if it was shot or just a slow leak. Googled bike shops. Pedal Forward popped up. Stopped in the shop. Met Mike. Within a few minutes Mike was able to diagnose the issue. Not having an appointment we had offered to leave the bike. Nope. Mike fixed it on the spot and at an amazing steal of a price. Pedal Forward offers bikes for sale as well as rentals. Nice selection of bike gear and supplies. Skaters stuff for you too! Stop in. Check it out. Great service, supplies and a smile. Wish you the best! Thanks for the opportunity and courteous and helpful advice for local rides as well. read more

Jorge is extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and was willing to go above and beyond to repair one of my bikes and get us back on the trails ASAP.

His work shop was most impressive, all Park Tools and it's incredibly clean and organized which says a lot about a repair shop. Fantastic person and shop! read more

My wife and I were looking to get back into to bike riding. Riding a bike, getting a bike is so much more complicated these days. I guess we're dating ourselves. We were nervous because we both are not that knowledgeable or experienced about bikes and the culture was frankly a little intimidating. Mike and Jorge immediately put us at ease, they took so much time to explain the mechanics of newer bikes, as well as help us with places to ride. We love our two bikes that we bought from Pedal Foward, we both forgot how much fun riding a bike can be, especially when there are fewer or no cars. Can't thank Mike a Jorge enough for the great bikes and great service. read more

I recently went on a Shop night ride with these guys and had one of the best mountain biking experiences I've experienced in a long time. Awesome shop. read more

Great locally owned shop. Popped in on a Sunday afternoon to grab some gear for my mountain bike and ended up sticking around for some help on my bike as well! Gear was priced competitively, some even lower than what you'd find online. I'm new to mountain biking so I had some questions while I was in there. One of the owners, Mike was happy to answer my questions and even offered to take a look at my bike and fix my problem while I waited. Great service, great prices, super friendly. Would recommend. read more

One of the highlights of our family vacation this year was a tour of beautiful Tenaya Falls with Jorge. The tour included both biking and hiking along the trails. We received terrific insight and history of the surrounding area. The views of the landscape and waterfall were amazing! I took a lot of awesome photos and videos. If you're in the area and looking for a different touring experience, I highly recommend Pedal Forward. Jorge is super-nice, knowledgeable, and has a real passion for nature. Bikes and equipment provided were reliable. A definite 5-star experience! read more

We were looking for a place to rent some bikes since the Mariposa Grove shuttle was out of commission for the year. This place was great!

He also shared with us some other trails in the area if we had spare time during the day. read more

Fantastic bike shop! Friendly, fast service! I dropped off my bike for a tuneup and they turned it around in one day and did a fantastic job. Prices are very reasonable and they review everything with you upfront and give you an estimate. If they find anything safety-related while they're doing maintenance, they let you know ahead of time so you are aware of the extra costs. No hard selling or trying to upsell you something you don't need. read more
