Ashley Whitney Testimonial
OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST AND LEVEL 1 USAT COACH ASHLEY WHITNEY
The folks at BIke Pedlar have helped me feel at home since I began frequenting their stores in 2004. From my beginnings as a novice cyclist to my current state, as whatever I am, the staff has always been courteous and knowledgable. Buying a bike, especially for someone new to the sport, is a challenge, but Bike Pedlar staff make it easy.
Bike Pedlar has supplied me with the right tools for the job, starting with my first bike through the most recent one and with all the accessories and upgrades I've needed. They carry great quality bikes for all levels of cycling and all the extras you'll need.

Our Daily Cycling Tip
Lower Your Seat For Off-Road Biking - If you're a road rider who's trying out the trails, start with a slightly lower seat position than you use on your road rig. Most dirt bikes feature 175-mm long crankarms, which provide extra leverage for steep climbs. Because these may be longer than what's on your street sled, position the seat on an all-terrain bike about one to two centimeters lower than your road position. This accounts for the longer cranks and gives you a little leeway (experiment to determine what's best for you), which is helpful riding off road, especially on technical trails. Using a too-high seat can reduce your maneuverability and control and be very tough on your rear end. If you are switching back and forth between the two bikes frequently, adjust the seat on your road bike to match the mountain bike. You'll find the transition between the two much easier when the seat heights are the same. If you have any questions regarding fit, please ask us.
What does Allanti mean?
We get asked this all the time and you may be a little surprised at the answer – we made it up! In 1990, we wanted a name with an Italiano flavor – something to reflect our love for Italian bicycles. And for legal reasons, we wanted a name we could trademark and control. So we came up with the Italian-sounding word “allanti!” and the rest, as they say, is history.
As for what it means, here’s our definition. In your best Italian accent, give it a try!
a-lon’-tee (1990)
Sostantivo:
What does it mean? A little hint – the first part has to do with the perfect place to buy a bike and the last part has something to do with riding hard!
