Laramie's own The Pedal House is receiving some national recognition in the world of cycling.

The Active Times announced their list of the top 50 bike shops in the country.  The Pedal House comes in at number 12.

Of the shop, The Active Times says:

"We still hang bike thieves in Wyoming” is the motto of this tough-on-the-outside-welcome-inside bike shop that’s housed in a former saloon and brothel in downtown Laramie. But don’t let the gruff greeting scare you away from this family-friendly shop, where owners Dewey and Jessica encourage cyclists of all ages and experience levels by hosting group rides and clinics, and volunteering at area cycling events. Beyond that, they’re expert wrenches and avid students of bicycle history. “If you want to talk history, or philosophy, or guns,” writes one local tipster, “I'd suggest having some homemade cookies and a dozen Pilsner Urquell ready.”

The Pedal House is located at 207 S. 1st Street in Laramie.
