Overhauling any bike he could get his hands on.

Jeff’s story

Hooked on bikes since 1977.

In the fall of 1977, I found my first issue of Bicycling Magazine at my Junior High School. I quickly checked every box on a freshly perforated “Send Me More Information” card. Once I mailed it in, the catalogs started rolling in — from Bike Warehouse, Skidlid, Bell, Bikecentennial and Flick Stand. I was hooked. Inspired by Breaking Away, which I read before the movie was released in 1979, I had already been dreaming of racing in the Pyrenees and spent every spare moment overhauling any bike I could get my hands on.

After decades of tinkering in home-based shops, I opened a small storefront bicycle shop in February 2020 in a building my wife and I own in Prospect, Ohio. The shop has continued to grow, and we now offer repairs, parts, accessories, and new bicycles and eBikes.

Here is what I offer:

A new season on two wheels

Now that I have officially retired from my career in the insurance industry, I’m dedicating more time to the bike shop and the community it serves. My wife and I formerly owned MidOhio Insurance Solutions, and I was also a partner in Ohio Medicare Consultants — both independent insurance agencies serving the State of Ohio. While I’ve stepped away from that chapter, I’m excited for this new season focused on two wheels and the joy they bring.

CABDA Midwest Show

Abel, Jeff and Ron Attend CABDA Midwest Show

Abel, Jeff and Ron recently traveled to the CABDA Midwest Show, one of the bicycle industry’s premier dealer events, held annually near Chicago. The show brings together bicycle manufacturers, e-bike brands, parts suppliers and industry professionals from across the country to showcase the latest products and innovations in cycling. Attending CABDA gives independent bicycle shops the opportunity to see new technology firsthand, meet with company representatives and learn about the trends shaping the future of the cycling and e-bike industry.

During the show, Abel, Jeff and Ron spent time exploring new products, connecting with suppliers and gaining insight that will help continue to grow Pedal & Power Bicycles as a destination for quality e-bikes and service in Ohio. Trips like this help ensure that Pedal & Power Bicycles stays informed about the latest developments in the industry while continuing to bring reliable products, knowledge and service back to riders here at home.
