Nearly 15 years ago Jim Dial became the owner, operator, chief mechanic and bicycle guru at Pedal & Paddle bike shop located in downtown Pierre, SD. Featuring cost-effective Raleigh road bikes as well as a variety of comfort, hybrid and mountain bikes Pedal & Paddle has something for just about everyone. If Jim doesn't have your dream bike in stock he can order it and it'll be here before you know it. Jim will assemble and tune your new bike to fit you, not conversely like those big box store bikes where you must fit the bike.
Therein lies the rub, sure you can buy a bike cheaper on the internet or at Walmart but neither of those two outlets have any mechanics, let alone a knowledgeable, experienced one like Jim who takes personal pride in making sure that the bike you buy from him is the right bike for you. Take me for example, following hip resurfacing surgery I decided road biking made more sense than my then love of mountain biking and Jim ordered a frameset on a closeout fall deal and over the winter he ordered and installed the gruupo I'm still using and that was over 5 years and 20,000 miles ago -- all I've replaced is the chain and the rear cog on my Shimano Ultegra gruupo -- and there're many more miles left in it.
So, if you're in the market for a new bike or just want to make sure that your current ride is tuned and ready to ride the Wellmark Tour de Oahe this June 30 take a spin down to Pedal and Paddle, you'll be glad you did.
