In a recent highlight piece in “Kirkwood City Lifestyle,” Pedego St. Louis was showcased for their commitment to community involvement and promoting a healthy lifestyle through their electric bike shop.

“I wanted to find a business that would provide a good quality of life,” stated Bill. “I wanted the business to be something that Carla and I could do together, and I wanted to cater to a customer base of people our age. I knew I wanted to do something that allowed me to be outside and promote a healthy lifestyle. I also wanted to start a business that utilized an emerging technology.” And that’s how Pedego St. Louis was born.

A Personal Journey from Avid Cyclists to Electric Bike Shop Owners

Bill’s background in law and Carla’s background in nursing have proven to be invaluable in running their bike shop. “It’s surprising how seamlessly our prior professions translated into owning a bike shop,” said Bill. “My law practice was based on building relationships and trust, giving good advice, and solving problems. As a Pedego Bike shop owner, people seek advice and consultation about these bikes and have questions about how they can change their life.”

Carla, who worked as a pediatric nurse for many years, is passionate about the health benefits of cycling. “Cycling improves muscle strength and balance, which is important as we age,” she said. “We have customers who haven’t been on a bike in 30 years, and this technology allows them to get outside and enjoy life. Customers tell us this is their antidepressant. They share stories about where they ride, how far they go, and how they can do things they never thought they’d be able to do. We hear transformational stories about how much weight they’ve lost and how their health conditions have improved since they purchased their bike.”

Building a community one ride at a time

Pedego St. Louis is not just a bike shop; it’s a community center where people can come together to enjoy cycling and other outdoor activities. Bill and Carla donate to charity events and organize group rides and other activities to encourage people to get outside, stay active, and have fun. “We have a lot of customers who have become our friends,” said Bill. “We love to organize group rides and events that bring people together. It’s great to see people having fun and enjoying the outdoors.”

The “Kirkwood City Lifestyle” magazine article highlights the shop’s commitment to the community. “We are proud to be part of the Kirkwood community,” said Bill. “We love this area, and we want to give back in any way we can. That’s why we organize charity events and other activities that benefit local organizations.”
