City of Erie Bike Shops

  • The City of Erie is currently a bicycle repair and support desert. There are zero bike shops within the city limits to serve the over 100,000 residents.
  • Likewise, there are no low-cost or affordable options for bike repair. Unlike the rest of the state of Pennsylvania in which more than ten bike cooperatives currently exist, and a few of which are in cities with much smaller populations, Erie has no fully functional bike cooperative or like option with regularly accessible business hours and the necessary resources to be successful. We believe that a bicycle cooperative is an essential form of bicycle education and support that the City of Erie needs.
    • We are currently working with the Sisters of St. Joseph Neighborhood Network by supporting Peddle Mettle at 436 East 26th Street. It will be open on Mondays from 5:30 p.m. to approximately 7:30 p.m. This is just a start. We need more funding, volunteers and support to create something that is at the scale that the Erie community desperately needs.
