Custom Adventure Bicycles and Hands-on Cycling Workshops
From hand-built steel frames in Indiranagar to local adventure rides, we focus on quality experiences on two wheels. Whether you need a bike that fits your riding style perfectly or want to learn the mechanics to maintain your own, you are in the right place.
This is the 'Contrarian', a perfect example of a custom hardtail mountain bike built from the ground up. It’s designed to be unique and stand out, built on a custom-measured Scolarian steel frame for a ride that feels like an extension of you.
Here I am with the proud new owner of the 'Contrarian'. The best part of my job is seeing the excitement when a rider connects with a bike that was built just for them, from our initial chat to the final handover.
Our shop is a hub for the Bangalore cycling community. This is a snapshot from one of our 'Freewheelin' meetups, a great way to connect with fellow riders, share stories, and just enjoy the vibe.
I believe in empowering riders. This is from one of our hands-on workshops where you can learn essential skills like roadside fixes and home maintenance, so you can ride with more confidence.
It's all about the adventure. Here's a shot from one of our curated tours in Yercaud, exploring breathtaking climbs and dense forests. I build bikes that can take you to places like this.
The details make the difference. This is the custom-made brass head badge for the 'Contrarian' bike, a small touch of personality that sets a hand-built bicycle apart from the rest.
Knowledge is power. In our workshops, I take the time to explain the mechanics of your bike, like in this session covering the anatomy of a bicycle and how to properly handle your machine.
I build all kinds of bikes, including rugged all-road touring rigs like the 'KETTLEXPRESS'. This bike is designed for comfort and reliability on long journeys, ready for any adventure you can dream up.
About Featured
Getting a bike from me is not a transaction. Whether it is a custom steel frame build or a technical tune-up, we start with a conversation at my Indiranagar shop. I want to know where you ride, your body measurements, and what terrain you are tackling so I can build or service a machine that feels like an extension of you.
At the core of Pedal in Tandem is the Contrarian philosophy. I build bikes for riders who reject mass-produced frames. Every machine we create, like the Contrarian hardtail or the Kettlexpress touring rig, uses high-grade steel tubing and parts matched to your specific needs. It is about getting a bike that performs on the road and handles exactly how you want it to.
But the shop is not just for buyers. If you are new to cycling, I run Level-1 maintenance clinics right here. We strip away the intimidating jargon and teach you how to patch a tube, clean a drivetrain, and handle roadside fixes with confidence. It is a no-pressure zone where you can ask questions, meet fellow riders, and learn the mechanics of your machine.
Beyond the workshop, we organize offbeat tours. We avoid the crowded tourist routes found on maps, opting instead for hidden trails in places like the Nilgiris and Yercaud. We handle the logistics, the local stays, and the planning, so you can focus on the climb and the view. If you are in Bangalore, drop by the shop. We can talk gear, bike fits, or just chat about the best morning rides in the city.
Pedal in Tandem
I founded Pedal in Tandem to escape the city noise and rediscover the freedom of two wheels. My Indiranagar shop is where I build custom adventure bikes and host local riders who value the journey over the destination. If you want a machine with soul or just need help fixing a flat, drop by.
