About

Pedal Forward Bikes & Adventure is an Oakhurst bike shop built around getting you comfortably onto the roads and trails near Yosemite's south entrance. Rent a bike for a self-guided ride into Yosemite Valley, or book a private, guided e-bike tour. The shop has earned a 5.0-star rating across 246 reviews, with riders consistently praising how well the bikes are set up and how much local knowledge comes with them.

Rentals and Custom Builds

Customers rent both standard and e-bikes here for day trips into Yosemite Valley, and the shop has also built custom bikes for regulars — one reviewer described a hardtail mountain-bike frame paired with gravel-trek bars and tires for an all-road setup. Staff have gone as far as helping riders figure out how to fit e-bikes into a car for the drive home.

Guided E-Bike Tours

Beyond rentals, Pedal Forward runs private e-bike tours, with routes planned around road conditions and group needs — including rides built for mixed groups of adults and teens. The shop is also active in local trail stewardship, supporting the Yosemite South Gate Trail Cooperative.

Renting the folding e-bikes was the best decision ever! It was so much fun. Jorge went out of his way to make our experience a success. We will do that again!!

Jorge was extremely responsive, beyond flexible, and extremely pleasant to talk to. Took 4 of the bikes in the back of a minivan (they fold up) to Yosemite and they performed very well, 4 1/2 hours of riding pretty much full electric and they delivered!

Great Service on solid bikes for exploring the Yosemite Valley. If you want a bike that is in good shape, has the bells and whistles you need, and with excellent service values, go to this shop. Gorge was helpful, responsive, and solution oriented. we got the bikes we wanted and he helped us with some items we needed but had forgotten. It seemed a little expensive, but the value is so much better than the rentals at the park.

Jorge at Pedal Forward was very helpful. He was flexible about picking up and dropping off our rental bicycles. The bikes were in great condition and worked perfectly. We had a blast riding around Yosemite Valley!!! Thanks again Jorge.
