I grew up at Bass Lake in the early '90s, right as mountain biking was taking off. I still come…read moreback every summer, and I'm grateful a shop like Pedal Forward is here. Serving locals and helping visitors find the good stuff. Now that I live in Seattle, I've love watching all their YouTube trail videos. They've filmed all the classic trails, even some new ones like 'Blind Squirrel,' and make planning rides easy. Over July 4th, I rented a Specialized Turbo Levo. They did a professional fit adjustment, free of charge, and the staff pointed me to new trail improvements I would've missed, even as a former local. Thirty years on, the sport keeps evolving. Shops like Pedal Forward are a big reason why. Keep it up, brothers.

What really sets them apart though is they actually give back - they're heavily involved with trail stewardship days and support the Yosemite South Gate Trail Cooperative with both time and money. If you're in town looking to ride, stop by. You won't regret it.

The most unprofessional and greedy ski shop I've came across in my 7 years of snowboarding. I…read morebrought a friend to rent here and she got the demo snowboard package. It came with very old looking bindings and they claimed that it was all they had. Day 2 on the slopes, front binding became loose and back binding ankle strap couldn't click in. My friend was stuck on the mountain without safe equipment to get down, so she had to call ski patrol to get her down with downhill lifts. A fun blue bird day was cut short for her. When returning the gear and asking for a refund for the second day, the shop had the audacity to deny responsibility and claim that the gear was working when it was rented out and that my friend should've brought the gear back while being stuck on the mountain. They ended up offering a 5 dollar discount, when the old equipment they rented out wasn't even worth the 2 days demo price was that was charged. This shop does not belong in the ski industry. It showed zero concerns about the safety of their patrons and zero responsibility for the garbage equipment that they rented out.

We were short on a few supplies for our backpacking trip, and The Approach came through for us in a big way. The owner, Michael, was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and had clearly spent a lot of time in the mountains.

I highly recommend this place if you are traveling towards Yosemite or the mountains, and need a few last-minute items. They even have fishing flies!
