Pedalers Fork: Where Bikes, Brews, and Bites Collide

In this episode of On the Road with Paul Ward, we take a trip to Old Town Calabasas, California, to visit Pedalers Fork, a one-of-a-kind establishment that blends a high-end bike boutique, a beer garden, a coffee shop, and a restaurant known for its “California Comfort” menu. Paul sits down with Gideon Kleinman, the general manager of Pedalers Fork, to explore the origins of this unique space and how it has become a community hub for cyclists, food lovers, and coffee enthusiasts alike.

Gideon shares how Pedalers Fork was built around the love of cycling and how it has evolved to include a serious bike shop offering high-end and e-bike options. He also discusses the deep connection between cycling and coffee, a bond that is celebrated through Pedalers Fork’s partnership with 10 Speed Coffee. Paul and Gideon dive into the locally sourced menu, featuring favorites curated by their patrons, and even discuss a signature cocktail called “The Calibastard.”

Beyond food and bikes, Pedalers Fork is home to a yoga studio, hosts neighborhood events, and is a key gathering spot for cycling groups like “The Riding Pint” and “Wednesday Worlds.” Gideon highlights the weekly farmers market, bike races, and the transformation of the restaurant over the years, including the restoration of vintage bikes displayed as décor. Whether you’re a cyclist, a foodie, or just looking for a unique place to unwind, this episode gives you plenty of reasons to visit Pedalers Fork.
