Sometimes you need a place where you meet like-minded people. To talk shop, wrench, have fun or even philosophize about life. That was the basic idea in 2019 when we set up the first Pushbikers store, which was meant to be more than just an office or storage space. A place of belonging, where you can feel at home. A meeting place for all “Radlnarrischen”.
Almost three crazy years later, the Pushbikers store was threatening to burst at the seams – store, café, workshop and office of the UCI Continental Team, all wanted to get a little more space.
So at the beginning of 2022, we moved just a few hundred meters away into a flat 1960s building whose history as a trade for heating oil, diesel, lubricants still tells of fuel, oil, mobility and change. Quite fitting for the Pushbikers, as we found. With plenty of open space in front of the store, which we could put to good use for numerous community events, rides and barbecues. In the winter of 2024, renovation work began on our current Pushbikers headquarters and store. A former cowshed in the Oberkammerloh estate in Waakirchen – a special place that fascinated us, in a beautiful rural setting close to Lake Tegernsee. In Kammerloh 2 you will find us, the old Gaggia coffee machine, lots of Argon 18 racing bikes and gravel bikes, as well as Wiawis mountain bikes and selected parts from the Maloja cycling collection for men and women. Plus lots of material, components and cycling accessories that we use for the Maloja Pushbikers pro team. You can also linger in front of the store at Gut Oberkammerloh, next to large old chestnut trees and with the sound of cowbells in summer.
The Pushbikers store is the meeting point of our community and in summer the fixed start of our public social rides on Thursday evenings.
Come on by, we look forward to seeing you!
Behind large brown industrial doors, the workshop opens, flooded with light and the faint smell of lubricants still lingering in the walls from previous use. “No smoking, no fires and no naked lights” says the sign from the old days.
Here our team wheels are screwed, but also completely individual customer requests. It is the realm of Waldemar, our workshop manager, who loves bikes as much as we do. Some of the paint on the wall is peeling off, and next to it hang bikes that are ready for pickup or still waiting for service.
Keeping calm is part of the workshop’s daily routine. Fiddling around, taking a close look, even getting inventive sometimes. All the bikes that our customers buy in the Pushbikers store are assembled here. And individual bike wishes are fulfilled in the process. “Actually, every bike is unique,” says Waldemar. “We don’t have off-the-shelf bikes. Through the connection to the professional team, we have many customers who have been following Pushbikers for a long time and know their way around. They trust that they will get a really good bike with the right components from us. That’s both an incentive and a pleasure for me.”
And also the wheel check in the winter break or repairs can be booked in the Pushbikers workshop. Or even the supreme discipline: wrapping handlebar tape.
