BPB is proud to be the exclusive Maryland retailer for BH Bikes and Pivot Cycles.

2009 marks the 100th year of bicycle production for BH (Beistegui Hermanos or Beistegui Brothers). In 1909 the company began making bicycles using its metal forming know-how learned making guns in the small Basque town of Eibar in the mountains of Northern Spain.  From the beginning our bikes have been built to climb with ease and descend with confidence. In the modern era, BH has become a global player by making bikes that handle telepathically, from the Spanish Pyrenees to the Rocky Mountains. BH is ushering in the new era in cycling with the sponsorship of the AG2RLaMondiale squad and its commitment to returning the sport to its former glory.  The US arm of BH is but one year old, but has delivered on the promise of delivering the best riding bikes and providing the best service in the industry. We are a core group of cyclists with a combined 100+ years of experience in the industry and we know what you demand in a bicycle.

Pivot Cycles makes quality mountain bike frames.  We talk a lot about Innovation and Technology in all our Pivot designs. Every one of our innovations is aimed at making your mountain biking experience better in every way. Technology should be seamless and that’s what we’re all about. We are a company driven to perfection by building the highest performance bicycles and paying painstaking attention to every last detail so that you don’t have to.
