Bicycle Heaven

What an amazing place. A delight for anyone remotely interested in bikes. You can tell the owner has put so much thought into this place. The collection is incredible. You can spend hours here. And the place is free . There is a parking lot , easy to find this place and park. We made a quick stop and enjoyed the collection and the way things were organized.

What a delightful gem in Pittsburgh! Whether an avid cyclist or a person who once knew someone that owned a bike, the museum is a fantastic, fun, visual walk-through of bikes and bicycle history. The staff was friendly, the space was jam-packed with every type of one, two, and three wheeled cycles you didn’t even know existed. Looking f forward to coming back in warmer weather and renting a bike for a ride on the nearby trails!

This is a great place for spending 20-30 minutes to check out some modern and vintage bikes in a very unique atmosphere. There are some bikes ridden by The Monkees, Tom Hanks, and others. It’s an unusual mix of museum, store, and repair shop. Somehow, it works. Definitely worth the time and cost of admission (FREE!)

My family visited Bicycle Heaven and loved it. This museum is unique and different. There are thousands of bicycles from 1800s to now. It is totally worth the money for the value. We spent almost 2 hours there, make sure go up to second floor because it is their main show room with so many famous bicycles.

I visited Bicycle Heaven and absolutely loved it! This museum is truly one of a kind. It features thousands of bicycles, ranging from the 1800s to the present day. The experience is well worth the cost for the incredible value it offers. We spent nearly two hours exploring, and I highly recommend checking out the second floor, as it houses the main showroom filled with many iconic bicycles. Above all, the management staff here are extremely friendly and enthusiastic.

Cool spot for sure! Over 6 thousand bikes & much more. Had a great time & even got Lily a basket for her bike. Owner was very nice.

If you love bikes as much as we do, find the time to visit Bicycle Heaven. This 2 story, 7 room space houses the vast (~ 6,000 ) collection of bikes lovingly gathered by the owner over the last 40 years. It’s an amazing collection that will transport you back to your childhood and give you a glimpse of how people biked long before you were born.

A cool place to visit in Pittsburgh for sure! Even if you don’t particularly care for Bicycles it is worth a stop. It was also fun to see the real Pee-Wee Herman Bike. This place is all right next to another really cool music Museum.

Bicycle Heaven is such a cool and unique place! It's part bike shop, part museum, and it's packed with thousands of bikes--from vintage classics to super rare models. Walking through feels like stepping into a time capsule of cycling history, and there's so much to see. So many photo ops too throughout the place. The staff is super friendly and clearly passionate about what they do. The owner is also so nice and it was fun chatting with him. Even if you're not a big cyclist, it's worth a visit just for the experience. It's fun, quirky, and totally one of a kind. Highly recommend checking it out!

Such an unexpected and wonderful experience! Highly recommend! Its not just bikes but also so many antiques!

Blown away, by this place, and found this hidden gem well searching for things to do this past weekend well visiting on my birthday. My boyfriend and I stopped in here this past Friday, and were astounded on scale of bicycle history; dating as far back to the 1800's, to present day. What stood out the most on display: ET bike from the movie, along with the bike from Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Two floors are in this museum, parts galore, bikes for sale, over 6000 in total, and a hidden florescent room, perfect for photo opportunities, and makes you feel like your back in the 60's. Craig the owner, and other staff hospitality answered visitor questions, checked in on us a few times. If you find yourself in the area; stop in, spend some time at the Largest Bike Museums Bonus, they sell and repair bikes as well.

Absolutely bonkers. More bicycles than you have ever seen at once. Unique bikes. Historic bikes. One-of-a-kind bikes. Parts for miles. And yes. The actual bicycle from Pee Wee's Big Adventure is here. The massive quantity of bicycles is almost overwhelming and tremendous and incredible. You could easily spend two hours here perusing the upstairs (don't miss the upstairs!) and all of the ground floor. It's like nothing you've ever seen before.

This museum is off the beaten path. I found it on Trip Advisor. The worker was ok. He didn't interact much. The place was cool. It had all sorts of makes and styles of bicycles on two floors. They were also on the ceiling. Some were for sale, and some were donated. Admission and parking are free. If you are looking for something different to check out this is the place. It doesn't take long to go thru it, but it is worth the visit.

had a great time walking inside and seeing everything they had to offer it's overwhelming the amount of bicycles and pieces of history that are inside

I was pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable my time there was. The staff and owner are very friendly and happy to answer any questions you may have. You will find $15 bikes there all the way up to bikes valued at over $70,000. There is also the original Happy Days pin ball machine there. My wife's favorite was the bone that Pee Wee Herman road in his movies.

Unique museum with really interesting historic bicycles and other antiques. Great way to spend an afternoon, even for the non-bike enthusiasts.

When my boyfriend told me he wanted to go to a bicycle museum I wasn't sure what to expect. What I found is one of the coolest places I've ever been to. Every nook and cranny of this place is covered with all things bicycles - floor to ceiling. Literally. I had to explore the museum at least five times on my visit and it still wasn't enough to take in all of the interesting items that have been collected over the years and displayed. You do not need to be a bicycle lover. Be a fan of nostalgia, and reminiscing about your own first bicycle and feel like a kid again.

Free museum with free parking, I'm good so far! Easy to find in an industrial area right off the highway. An amazing array of everything bicycle from the seats, horns, tires, helmets, wheels, radios ... in all different parts and styles. Bicycle things everywhere hanging on the walls and the ceilings, just incredible. Two floors of bicycles in a maze of rooms. There were rare bikes, racers, one-of-a-kind, and ones that were used in television or movie sets. I have never seen so many bicycles in one place in my life. They were bicycle repair rooms with walls parts and tools. Refurbished bikes for sale in the parking lot in front.

Such a cool place. It just keeps going! This place is a mix of a hobbyist's collection and history museum.

Great service, unique choices. Casual ambience with much thought put into decor, both inside and outside of this recommended eatery!

I visited this museum this past weekend with my boyfriend and parents, and I have to say we were very surprised at how much fun we had! It is donations only, so it technically costs no money to attend, but it is important to remember they are able to keep afloat through donations. There are two floors full of bicycles. Some of the coolest were ones ridden by Pee Wee Sherman and The Monkeys. There were many cool trinkets in addition to all the bicycles and gear. They have shirts for sale as well as actual bikes and parts. It's an incredible visit if you have the chance, we spent about an hour and half looking at everything!

The owner and employees are incredibly knowledgeable and sweet. The museum part itself is not only entertaining but very informative and fun! We went here originally to get a bike for my son's birthday and the owner was very helpful and got my son his dream bike! A lot of culture and history filled with wonderful people. Will definitely be coming back for the events

The Bicycle Heaven is filled with gems, such as the tandem bicycle the Monkees rode in their series, PeeWee Herman's bike, ET's bike, a WW2 paratrooper's bike, Schwinns, Raleighs, motor bikes, yellow submarine bikes and oodles more. You could spend hours getting lost here and you are pretty much guaranteed to find the bike you rode on as a kid. The owner Craig is very welcoming and will answer any questions that you have. This is a must see when in Pittsburgh.

Love it here. Pure nostalgia. Came to see Pee Wee's bike but ended up finding tons of stuff that I found interesting!

Absolutely brilliant spot! Soooo many interesting bikes to look at and they have the bike from Pee Wee's Great Adventure. Would recommend to anyone

A good place to see bicycles' history. Two floors. Parking available. Free to visit. Unique museum.

This is a bicyclers dream come true! Wall-to-wall, ceiling-to-ceiling, light switch to floor board, is covered in some of the most epic bikes in the history of bikes. TV famous bikes, professional sports bikes, classic original kids bikes, first edition bikes, failed model bikes, just bikes, bikes, BIKES! You can expect two jam packed floors (main museum upstairs) with endless things to look at, read, and experience. Bicycle Heaven is donation based so make sure to have some money in your pocket to share or make sure to purchase come cool bike gear. If you are looking for anything bicycle related, more than likely you can find it here. My sister was looking for retro handle grips with tassels and you betchya she found those here (the tassels were made on the spot, custom colored and all). We went into a small room of bicycle accessories that, I would say had well over 75-100 options for grips. You want colored spokes for your bikes, get them here, maybe you want a banana seat, oh ya count on it, air pump caps, duh, those are here too. My review can't do this unique experience justice. This is something you have to see with your eyes. A young gentleman helped us get our bike accessories and he was out of this world awesome. Free parking in plenty. If you are looking for a creative, fun, qwerky place to spend some time and you drool over everything bikes (or actually you don't even need to drool over bikes to enjoy this one) this is your next stop!!

I was dragged to visit by my bike club. I am not a museum person and also not interested much in a few bikes. what a mistake , really worth visiting. The building is filled with bikes from all eras. many I recognized from my youth. and lucked out to talk to the owner who was very personable and explained the history of the place. with free admission take your friends ,can't go wrong

Idiosyncratic, fun and interesting. Visiting Bicycle Heaven is a great way to spend the day. Ower, Craig his very knowledgeable about bicycles, cars, memorabilia and people. Craig has created a space on the North Side of Pittsburgh that is truly special. This is a great tourist attraction as well as a place for the locals to visit again and again. Craig is welcoming and happy to educate or just reminisce about the memorabilia he has on display. This place is not just bikes on display, there are also old posters and pictures of musicians and many pieces of Pittsburgh's history. Bicycle Heaven has every kind of bike imaginable. Bicycles used in movies. Bicycles all through history. Craig also has bicycle parts old and new that can be purchased if you are looking for that hard to find part. You are sure to find something in this space that will bring back a memory and put a smile on your face. Bicycle Heaven is a bike shop and a museum.

Beautiful place to visit. Creative, colorful and fun to explore. Free. Just go visit. And there is a nail salon in there, if you need an appt!

What a cool museum!!! So much to see. Craig is such a great guy and so easy to talk to. It's a must see for any biker and interesting to anyone else too. So much memorabilia!

We stopped into Bicycle Heaven after visiting Randyland because it was open, free and close. What a fun time we had! This combination bike shop / museum is amazing and it's a real trip down memory lane. You don't have to love bikes to enjoy yourself, because there are so many fun things to see all over the museum.

Definitely the most unique place in Pittsburgh! You could get lost in here for hours just by the amount of trinkets they have on display.

A fun place to stop in and it's free (accept donations of your choosing). Quirky little things throughout the museum/shop. They have a ton of old bikes and a bunch of different areas to check out. It has the same type of vibe as Randyland, if you've ever been there (and there's even a sign for it outside).

This place was awesome!!! So many cool vintage bikes and trinkets to look at. We weren't expecting to find a place this awesome. 100% recommend checking it out if your in the area!

Came here last week on a tour with work. I work with adults with ID. The curators were patient, cordial, and knowledgeable. Thanks for a fun, memorable day!

I stopped in while out on a ride today to see if someone could help with making my ride a bit more comfortable. The staff that assisted me today was really helpful, and really listened to the issue I was having. He explained what he was doing and why. All in all, a very positive experience!

This place was so much cooler than I thought it was going to be. The bikes go on forever and there are some pretty cool historical items in there! I especially loved the neon black light dance party bike room and the big upstairs room next to it that has a working model train making the rounds on a track 10 feet up and choo-chooing as it goes by. If you're debating whether or not to check it out, just do it! You won't regret it :)

This museum is one not to miss if you are a bicycle fan and in Pittsburgh. Unbelievable collection that will take you back in time! Craig has a vast knowledge and his cheerful love for bicycles that shows when having a conversation with him. Check this place out! You will be amazed!

This is the biggest bike museum in the world. And it's FREE!!! Of course they take donations so a few bucks will help keep the lights open. It's 2 floors and on a Friday it was not crowded. It's great for kids to see. I appreciated the beauty of how bikes have changed from years to decades to over a century. The people are nice that work there.

Anything and everything bikes! This place was quite fascinating! I didn't know what to expect but was completely surprised at the extensive collection they have. From themed bikes to old wooden bikes, and everything in between. It is literally rows and rows, and many bikes had stories of what they were used for or who owned/made them. You could spend hours here or just a short 30 mins or so. Either way, if you are in the area, it's worth a stop. It's free (donations appreciated). There is plenty of on sight parking.

This free museum is full of literally tens of thousands of bicycles and parts. The entire museum was well laid out and full of history. Most of the bikes were from the 60s and 70s lots of very unique and rare bikes on display. They had road bikes, BMX bikes, tandem bikes, motorbikes. They specialize in special edition bikes for example smoky in the bandit the A-Team they had Fonzerelli pinball machine the one he played on happy days. We left the donation because the work the owner of this place is doing to keep the history of the bicycle is rad! By the way we ran into the owner on the way out he took our picture. He genuinely wanted to know how our boys liked the museum.

A few weeks ago I went there to just buy a t-shirt for my husband but ended up spending about 1 1/2 hours there! I was blown away! I loved looking and reading about all of the bikes. Amazing place that I highly recommend.

Amazing must see museum and bicycle shop! If you ever owned a particular bicycle as a kid, it's there!!

Don't miss this treasure of a museum. Left there with friends from NJ and were blown away by the experience. Owner Craig was welcoming and interesting. You "gotta" go!!!

I don't do a lot of reviews but this was amazing. In Pittsburgh we went to the pirates game, the parks, the overlooks, and the downtown area. Everything was super but this bike shop is totally insane. I believe anybody could appreciate the passion for this owner regarding bicycles and wish I had this much in what I do. I would put it top on my list and will return if in the area. No charge but did donate to the cause.

What an unusual and under the radar destination! We went here for the first time as part of a group bike ride along the riverfront trail and Bicycle Heaven was a perfect break point. It is insane how many bikes are in this building. I feel like the somewhat overwhelming quantity cannot be described in words or pics, it must be experienced. There are also loads of miscellaneous bike parts and frames and wheels and random memorabilia that adds to the visual chaos and impressiveness. The signage and info about various bikes isn't the greatest, but just being in this space is super cool and you don't need to have a lot of details on the bikes to enjoy. It feels more like an art installation or spectacle than a 'museum'. Honestly, I found you can't spend too much time here without feeling overwhelmed and claustrophobic, so I would recommend planning on a quick visit. I am excited to return again in the future - I know I will see something new each time!

So many awesome bikes, my family abs I had a blast! I also found a vintage bike plate for a friend with a uniquely spelled name

Great museum. So many bicycles. So much history. So many antiques. So much memorabilia. Several exhibits involving musicians. Go without children, since they can't touch anything and that would be too tempting for them.

Stubbled upon this gem by chance and it did not disappoint. Endless and I mean endless collection of bike, trikes and more. Eccentric display making it an art. Craig was friendly and welcoming. Easily spent an hour looking around on a rainy day.

Amazing bicycle collection! Craig and his team was super helpful in my search of a hybrid bike. They've provided lots of insights and carefully attended to my needs.

My family had a great time at Bicycle Heaven on a Saturday afternoon. I particularly enjoyed the historic bikes from the 1800s. Whether you are interested in bicycles or not, this is a fun and unique stop.

WOW!! This place is beautiful! My dad is huge bike enthusiast and he was like a little kid in a candy shop! Craig has a an amazing collection of the most rare bikes I've ever seen. There's so much to see, read, and learn!! I loved all the little fun signs around the place, really funny humor. There's description signs almost everywhere and it's really lovely. Definitely a one of a kind place, so happy we stopped by! Craig also made himself present and made sure we had been enjoying ourselves, really appreciate it.

I don't know what to type ...really the other reviews said it all this place is a do Not miss it no matter; what kind of place! so it looks a little bit to find it we drove there are little arrow signs use them ... we walked in not knowing what to expect anyway there are a bazillion bikes floor to ceiling and there is EVERY color of schwinn krate bike a bike of my youth and my dreams flower power banana seats oh and did I mention every color including pea picker and ghost WHO KNEW we really enjoyed our visit you could spend days there and not see everything the admission is FREE wow but you can donate if you wish we walked into the repair section also filled with bikes but these had repair tags so they fix these babies too what a great place *update 5/1/19 does your old bike need a tune up? does it need fixing? well...bring it on over to bicycle heaven! what was I thinking? I took my bike to a small bike shop for a tune up cost was higher! ...I took my husbands rusty ol Panasonic 10 speed that is at least 30 years old. right off super friendly service no laughing at his old bike ( I admit I laughed at it "said why don't you just get a new one") respect yes THIS is the REAL deal for bike repair and I kid you not 80 bucks and his old bike is tuned up and ready to roll this repair shop is the best oh did I mention it took only 2 days?

Do not pass up the chance to visit Bicycle Heaven. I have traveled a majority of the United States, and have not seen a more spectacular, inspiring and exciting place, all about bicycles. It has an amazing laid back atmosphere, I believe it is completely free to walk in and view all there is to see. you can easily make a donation or buy something to help out as well. they have an amazing selection of refurbished bikes and parts, as well as a mechanic to service your bike as well. I've never seen a more comprehensive history of bicycles all in one place, you do not want to overlook it if you are in Pittsburgh, even if you aren't into bikes, it is a something to experience.

Wow! This is a must see! It will bring back your childhood and you may very well spot a bike like the one you had growing up! So many interesting things to see, antiques sprinkled in with the vast bicycle collection. Don't miss this. It's FREE but a donation is appreciated, and you will want to leave one after the great experience you'll have. Loved it

What a cool place, def worth checking out! So much to see and very knowledgeable staff.
