This shop consists of so many different bikes so choosing one is difficult. However, there are helpful workers who are willing to find the perfect bike for customers.
“I love working here. I love the atmosphere; it’s a family friendly environment,” said Johnny Allen, a mechanic at Peddler Bike Shop.
The University of Memphis has purchased 55 bikes from Peddler Bike Shop to rent to students in the fall semester. As of right now, the University is still a working process of how students will be able to rent these bikes.
Peddler Bike Shop is also participating in upcoming events such as the Bike Swap on March 16, which is basically bike owners trading bikes for a reasonable price.
