Pete's Cycle

Description

• Petes Cycle was founded by Walter C. Leach Sr., nickname Pete, hence the name Petes Cycle, in 1938 out of his parents basement on Harford Road in Baltimore. He started out repairing bicycles and building flower boxes. Remember this was during the depression. Pete went off to WWII, while away his father ran the business. After WWII, Pete became a Schwinn bicycle dealer and at this time started into motorized vehicles. First was the Whizzer then Indian motorcycles, AJS, BSA, Matchless, all at the original store. He opened a second store in Towson in the 1950s which also sold Evinrude outboard engines and had a hobby store. In the late 1950s he sold Maruchan, Laverda, Lambretta, Bultaco, Vespa, Gillera, American Eagle and Cushman. He became a Honda dealer on July 9, 1963. He opened the Bel Air store in 1967 and the Severna Park store in 1970. At one time Petes Cycle had 7 stores with either bicycles or motorcycles. Thru the 70s and 80s he picked up Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki. In the mid 1980s, Pete went into semi-retirement. His children started running the business on a full time basis. In April of 2000, Petes Cycle moved out of its original location of 62 years, to a much larger store on Bel Air Road in Baltimore. Today, Petes Cycle has 3 locations still run by his 5 children. We are very proud to be celebrating over 75 years of business.
