Membership Business Partners are business members of BFC, who also provide a special incentive (i.e. offer, discount or perk) for our individual and family members.
The best electric bike is the one that fits you best. The most important part of every Pedego isn’t some high-tech gadget or fancy bicycle component. It’s the person riding it! Pedego gives you the freedom to choose the perfect electric bike for your individual needs and personal taste.
Stop by their NEW Location at 2925 S College Ave! With a fully stocked inventory of rental and retail bikes, the options are endless.
And a Pedego highlight wouldn't be complete without a very special thanks for their support of Bike Fort Collins and (more specifically) their support of events like the Bicycle Film Festival.
