Peter, the owner of Rage Cycles, welcomed us into his world of bikes! On a main street in Scottsdale, this little property was once a 1940s bungalow he has converted into one unique blend of hard core MTB, Downhill and BMX bikes and gear with a few classic Road bikes to complete the collection. Peter's handiwork is evident in the detailing on the inside of the building. The shop has a vintage feel especially in a corner where he has a few beautiful Bianchi's tucked in with some old prints of the cycling greats such as Fausto Coppi.
It's kind of like an Old Curiosity Shop of Cycling treasures and trinkets from the past and the present.
A garage museum at the back of this shop is filled with an array of colorful Cruisers surrounded by walls of old LPs. I could have spent hours in here just looking around and the best part was that Peter and his mechanics made us feel welcome - always a big plus wen I walk into an off road shop!
