Steve and Margaret opened Pedal Pushers in late ’86. The biz was mainly focused on racing, custom frames and mechanical work. By 1996 bike fitting had become the major part of the biz. This evolution continued and in early 2004 the biz moved from Randwick to 3rd floor office space close to the airport as it is a more convenient location for our interstate and international fit clients.
In early 2017, Steve and Margaret closed the business in Sydney and retired to Canberra. Given his low boredom threshold, Steve’s ‘retirement’ lasted less than 3 months and he now has an office within Pushys Plus in Canberra.

Steve has evolved principles of bike fitting that have passed the empirical test on many thousands of riders. His thinking differs markedly from the bike fitting mainstream and is concerned with providing individual solutions for individual issues. Some highlights of our time are:
- Contributor on technical matters to Bicycling Australia (BA) magazine 1991 – 2017
- Panellist for CyclingNews Fitness Forum 2006 – 2012
- Fitted numerous riders and triathletes who went on to win major events, State, National and World Championships
- Been voted Best Bike Shop in the state three times by the readers of BA magazine. He is proud of this as he’s always had a relatively narrow business focus.
- Presented workshops and seminars at bike shows, sports medicine conferences and the New Zealand Academy of Sport
- Worked for Mavic Service des Courses (Race Service) as a wheel builder and driver at World Championships and Olympics
- Been Warranty Service Tech for Campagnolo, 3T and Corima
Margaret and Steve are still married after all this time working together!
