    Service with a Smile
    Mary M.

    John set up shop on our street to fine tune my husband's new bike, catching the attention of interested neighbors, one of whom even shot a Tik Tok video. The intense procedure took almost two hours to render a nicely calibrated ride. His expertise was recognizable and his rates quite affordable. How nice to have a mobile expert ready to help.

    John's card

    John is awesome - he was extremely responsive, super knowledgeable, and really great to work with. We drove out from LA for the weekend and were in a bind when one of our bikes had issues shifting. John came to us within 24 hours and got the bike tuned up and good as new. I cannot recommend him enough - he saved our bike and made our weekend. Call him or send him an email - he's mobile and will come to you: The Pedal Pusher 760-895-7886 Papalia.John@gmail.com

    John is the man!! I had 3 bikes that needed attention before our family summer vacation. I called a few local bike shops to see what they could do and there response was all the same, we can't do anything for weeks. I called john and he was out the very next day at our scheduled appointment time. John brings knowledge, passion and attention to detail when it comes to his craft. Thank you John for the quick response and awesome service you did to my bikes. I will not hesitate to use john for any further bicycle needs. John is a man of his word

    See all

    John is a great guy. He saw me walking my bike and replaced both inner tubes at no cost. I really appreciate you man. Thank you.

    Mark was really helpful at the pedal pusher. I called him to locate an inexpensive used bike and he gave me a number to call. Awesome.

    A great ride, every time!…read more - - - - - - - - February, 2025 Visit - - - The Concise Overview - - - Big Wheel has been doing this for years; you'll be glad you rode with them... we rode the Earthquake Canyon Bike Ride You can talk on the phone and ask questions, but you sign up / register online. 1) You meet; 2) the van drives you to the starting point; 3) you get your bike and confirm it's set "just right" and get water; 4) riders ride and Big Wheels follows you - mostly downhill with minimal pedaling for 15-16 miles, which you'll likely cover in 30-45 minutes; minimal pedaling the last 4-5 miles, all flat, no uphill; Recommended... DO slow and/or stop and take it in and capture photos and have a great time; 5) at the end you ride back in the van. - - - Brief Background - - - My wonderful wife and I just enjoyed a trip to Pam Desert and San Diego, with a visit to La Jolla. One of the more exciting activities was riding the Earthquake Canyon ride... again! I first rode wit Big Wheel Tours, just me, on one of our trips to Palm Desert back around 2005; then in 2008 or 2009 we enjoyed a family ride, my wife pedaled with our daughter in a pumpkin seat and I pedaled with our son in a pumpkin seat. Now they are both in college so we are traveling, together, just us. On this trip, my wife recommended this ride, and what a recommendation! Even if the weather was not as amazing as it was (clear skies, mid-80s), it would have been a great ride. - - - The Prep - - - All riders meet at the pickup location; we happened to meet in Palm Desert, at the parking lot for Morton's, across the street from the JW Marriott & Marriott Vacation Club's Desert Spring Villas. From there, you're all in the van. Three of us couples rode that day; Ben was our friendly and helpful and knowledgeable guide + chauffeur + chase van driver. Ben is wise about many things, from the weather and geology of the Coachella Valley, and nearby Joshua Tree National Park, to animals including his falconry interest, and much more. Ben is also helpful in getting you ready to ride. The Earthquake ride is through the Box Canyon... It's off I-10, east of the Valley; at the same exit, to the South, as you would take if you were going north to the Joshua Tree Cottonwood National Park Entrance. Ben parks in a safe place and provides the helmets and bikes; they are hybrid bikes with tires thicker than 10-speed road bikes and not as thick as a mountain bike. You share your height when you register, and they bring a couple extras to make sure you have one that fits. The bikes have bottle holders and BWB provides water bottles. And you can leave all things in the van and they will be there when you are picked up; and if you need something you can stop and get it. - - - The Ride - - - A fellow rider was accurate when she shared: biking / cycling / riding is just the right pace... driving is too fast to take in all the beauty of the desert and this canyon, and walking is too slow. So true. So true. The Coachella Valley leads down to the Salton Sea, which is the second-lowest elevation in North America, at -234 feet below sea level; most of places visitors stay in the Valley - Palm Springs, Palm Desert, etc., are ~ 250-450 feet in elevation. The Earthquake Canyon ride starts just over 1,500 feet in elevation and finishes ~ -180 below sea level. On the drive you'll notice the gentle uphill climb along I-10 eastbound. That similar slope is your Earthquake Canyon friend. Ben shared the five sections of the canyon, and each is distinct and readily seen; thanks, Ben for sharing! BWB will pace you in the van, so you can ride at your pace and stop for photos and to take it in. Impressive are the views of the layers of the rock that are tilted by the San Andreas fault, which you ride over! Impressive are the plants growing along the ride. Impressive are the minimal vehicles you'll likely encounter. Toward 15 miles you'll cross over one of the aqueducts that brings water to the farmland that provides so much of our food in the grocery stores, especially the produce we enjoy in the winter. The ride will likely end in Mecca; you'll hand back the helmets and turn in the bikes; you may likely stop by a stand where you can get fresh-cut fruit or something else. - - - The Ride Back - - - BWB will get you to a place with a restroom before the drive back. The ride back helps you see more farmland and some palm tree farms. Soon you're back at the drop-off/pickup spot, and happy for such a great ride. Review Thank you, Ben, and Big Wheel Tours! ----- ----- -----

    We recently had the opportunity to visit Palm Springs for a few days. My wife and I brought our own…read moree-bikes along, and so we followed the local bike trails that we knew. For lunch we made a stop at Sherman's Deli which shouldn't be missed. Upon starting our 6 mile ride back to the hotel, we discovered that one of our bikes had a rear flat tire. It's always the rear, isn't it? What could be harder to change than a rear flat on a 65 lb e-bike, assuming I had brought a wrench. I could have ridden back solo, brought back the car and bike rack, picked up the broken bike and then drove back to the hotel. But, then we'd still have a bike with a flat with a few more days left in our trip. (sigh)... Hoping for the best, we did a Google search for bike shops in the area. That's when we found BIKE Palm Springs nearby. They were a bike rental shop, but maybe they'd help us. I rode the working bike over to BIKE PS and asked, and they said "no problem"! About 20 minutes later, Tony had put in a new heavy duty up-graded tube, replacing our thin standard tube that wouldn't hold up to the 'goat heads' that can be found on the trail, and had us ready to go again. We had some time to look their shop over while we waited - great helpful staff, clean shop, and nice well-maintained RAD and Aventon E-bikes. You couldn't ask for much more, we've ridden both in the past and liked them. So a big thank you to Tony and the rest of the staff that helped us at BIKE Palm Springs. You saved our day!

    It was so easy, renting our bikes all ages grown-ups down to 10-year-olds. They were so…read moreknowledgeable and helpful with ideas on where to ride. I absolutely recommend them. The price was great as well.

It now showed an error00 and the bike wouldn't even go at this point. I had two different people who fixes e-bikes come try and diagnose and fix it, both were unsuccessful. I called everywhere and no one seemed to work on Talarias especially electrical. That's when I found Doran. I explained the situation and he came down in a few days from Temecula. He did a diagnostic and it was determined that it needed a new hall sensor, I'm guessing the previous guy plugged wires into different plugs and it just messed the entire bike up. Which I seen him doing, which is even more frustrating. Doran told me he would order the part and fix the bike and agreed to take the bike with him to Temecula and wouldn't charge me for the drop off back. It took about a month for the part to get delivered. Once it got delivered Doran said he would start working on it. It took about 2 weeks to finally get my son's bike back, but honestly he fixed the issue and my son and I were happy about that! We had almost no hope at that point because no one could figure it out besides Doran. He also installed my son's bombers suspension forks as well. Doran dropped off the eBike and also fixed my son's light (needed a switch to turn the light off and on) for us free of charge which was really nice! I would say he does do this alone, so you do need to do your due diligence and follow up a lot with him. And understand he has other e-bikes he's working on and also experiencing some health issues. He told me he is trying to get better at that part so I would say if you take your bike to him just make sure keep on top of following up. He eventually will get back to you. Everything did seem a little pricey, but he does a lot of special work so I get it. I am in the end grateful that Doran was able to fix my son's talaria. He is very smart and definitely has a passion for e-bikes.
