Our Story

At Pedal Up Club, we wear many hats — we’re parents, cyclists, and passionate believers in the power of community. What began as a shared love for biking has evolved into a mission to make cycling accessible, sustainable, and joyful for every family.

The idea for Pedal Up Club sparked during a memorable gathering between our family — the Mackies — and our close friends, the Martins. Together, we saw the same challenge many parents face: keeping up with kids’ growth spurts and finding the right-sized bike year after year. From that realization, the concept of a kids’ bike subscription was born — a simple, sustainable solution for families everywhere.

As the vision grew, we were joined by the Spink family — Tyler, Allie, Stevie, Brodie, and now baby Parker — whose friendship, energy, and shared values have helped propel this project forward. What started as a small idea among friends has blossomed into a movement: a community-driven effort to help kids ride, families connect, and unused bikes find new purpose.

Through Pedal Up Club, families enjoy perfectly sized bikes as their kids grow — without the waste or hassle. And through our nonprofit arm, the Pedal Up Foundation, we extend that mission further, donating returned bikes to children who might not otherwise have access to one.

Our mission and motto say it best: Pedal. Grow. Give. Repeat.

We believe in growing together — as families, friends, and communities — through the simple joy of riding.
