The History of Pete's Cycle & The 75th Anniversary

 Pete’s Cycle was founded by Walter C. Leach Sr., nickname Pete, hence the name Pete’s Cycle, in 1938 out of his parent’s 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 1950’s which also sold Evinrude outboard engines and  had a hobby store.  In the late 1950’s 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 Pete’s Cycle had 7 stores with either bicycles or motorcycles.  Thru the 70’s and 80’s he picked up Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki.

In the mid 1980’s, Pete went into semi-retirement.  His children started running the business on a full time basis.  In April of 2000, Pete’s Cycle moved out of it’s original location of 62 years, to a much larger store on Bel Air Road in Baltimore.  Today, Pete’s Cycle has 3 locations still run by his 5 children.  We are very proud to be celebrating our 75^th year.

 Pete’s has a full stock of many brands that include Honda, Yahmaha, Kawasaki, Kymco, Polaris, Sea-Doo, Susuki, Triumph, Spyder & Victory. Many of Pete’s Brands carry ATV’s, UTV’s, Cruisers, Dirt, Street, Scooters, Generators & PWC’s.

Allan of Pete's Cycle told us that there is a lot to be learned from an expert hunter, they can teach you tricks and techniques that can make the difference between a sucessful outing or a bad day of misses., it can change your whole day's outcome.

Baltimore, Maryland. (PRWEB) September 19, 2012

Pete's Cycle has been around since 1937 and has grown to 3 stores in Severna Park, BelAir MD.

When talking with Allan of Pete's Cycle, he told us "there is a lot to be learned from an expert hunter, they can teach you tricks and techniques that can make the difference between a sucessful outing or a bad day of misses., it can change your whole day."

Pete's will be highlighting a select group of ATV's during the event, the Polaris Spotsman 500 HO, Honda Rancher 420 and the Kawasaki Prarie 360, hunters have had a great deal of success using the ATV in the rugged terrain generally frequented by hunters that demand a rugged automobile to be able to move as fast as the game moves. Any extra advantage out in the woods helps.

The best time to get out to the event will be around 10:30AM to 11:00AM. Pete's will be providing refreshments, seating and a wide range of experts on hand to discuss topics such as Taxidermy, Deer Processing , Butchery Archery and Deer Scent techniques.

The new line is broken down into three categories, Victory Cruisers, Baggers, and Touring Models

Bel Air, MD (PRWEB) August 30, 2012

Pete's Cycle in Bel Air Maryland showcases the Vegas 8-Ball , one of Victory’s most affordable bikes, has classic cruiser styling and generally sports a low seat height to go along with its blacked-out treatment. Victory’s muscle bike, the Hammer 8-Ball, returns for 2013, its Freedom 106 draped in black. The Hammer 8-Ball gets its power cruiser chops from a stubby raised rear fender that shows off its meaty 250mm backside. The fender includes a removable passenger cowl in case you want to take a friend along for the ride. Victory’s hot-selling High-Ball is back for another run, the cruiser sporting factory Apehanger handlebars, laced wheels, thick whitewalls and a bobbed front fender. And then there’s the 2013 Victory Judge, With a thick chunk of Dunlop rubber on the front, a skinny 140mm backside, and drag bars.

The 2013 Victory Baggers  line consists of the Cross Country in three different colors in addition to the anti-establishment, high-barred Hard-Ball. All Victory Baggers come with ABS and cruise control standard. The Cross Country and Hard-Ball sport two-piece cast aluminum frames and solid-mounted engines that serve as a stressed member of the frame. Big, plush seats, floorboards, and healthy-sized saddlebags with a claimed 21 gallons of storage provide long-range potential. The Antifreeze Green version of the 2013 Cross Country has extra chrome trim and a custom-style paint job with black flames. The Solid Black version gets tubular instead of forged highway bars while the Sunset Red version has blacked-out trim, including black tubular highway bars and drivetrain cases.
