Pumpkinvine Cyclery is where your cycling adventures begin!
At Pumpkinvine Cyclery, we don't just love cycling - we live it. Since our founding in 2010 amidst the completion of the new Pumpkinvine Nature Trail, we've been on a mission to build a thriving cycling community rooted in excellence, health, and connection. From beginners to seasoned pros, you will find a home with us.
Our journey has been one of innovation and growth. For the first six years, we connected with local riders from a small shopping plaza on the northside of Middlebury. In 2016, we relocated to a prime spot across from the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail's most popular access point, the Middlebury Dairy Queen. The journey didn’t stop there. With the addition of our second location in Downtown Elkhart, we’re thrilled to bring our unmatched service and passion to an even broader community.
Whether you're here to get your first bike or upgrade your gear, we’re here to empower every ride and welcome you into a community that celebrates every milestone.

Kristian Musser
Service Manager | Middlebury
I’m Kristian! I have been in the industry for nearly fifteen years, and have been riding since I found out it beats walking as a kid. I’m certified by Bosch and Shimano, and I look forward to helping you improve and enjoy your cycling experience! When not servicing your bicycle, you can catch me hiking with my dog, in last place at cyclocross races, and enjoying singletrack from here to Grand Rapids.
Max Hall
Sales Manager | Middlebury
Hi, I'm Max! I started out mountain biking when I was 11 years old and have been branching out to other disciplines ever since. I've tried BMX, Trials, and dirt jumping, but find myself on a gravel bike most often. I've been in the industry since 2021, both working as both a service technician and as a salesperson. On days off the bike, you can find me outside in the woods, most likely going for a hike or fly fishing... If asked about it, I might talk your ear off. So keep that in mind when you stop in for a tasty, new bike!
Phil Wright

14 years of Motocross racing turned cycling enthusiast! Transitioning from one set of two wheels to another, I'm diving deep into the cycling world with passion and a thirst for knowledge. Whether it is bike repair or customer service, I aim to spread my passion and provide the best experience I can. There's nothing like the freedom of riding, and I'll be out there until the wheels fall off!
Chris Webster
Service Manager | Elkhart
Ahoy! My name is Chris Webster. At 19, I got a random call from a friend about going on a bike tour through Kansas and Missouri. I went and was instantly addicted to venturing by bike and exploring anywhere I could by bike. Fast forward a little over a decade - my wife Gina and I had our daughter Mabel, who cleared 500 miles in her bike trailer before she was two years old. We purchased a farm (I am not a farmer) where we raise horses, grow hot peppers, and enjoy fishing our stocked pond. I settled into the industry with a passion for getting my local community stoked about loading bikes out with gear, bags, and venturing by bikes.
Eddie Rach
Sales Manager | Elkhart
I’m Eddie! I’ve been in the cycling industry since 2019. but my love for bikes started long before that - with BMX. These days, you’ll find me ripping though trails on a mountain bike or exploring gravel roads on two wheels.
Beyond cycling, I’m always up for adventure! I’m passionate about rock climbing, paddleboarding, and spending time on the lake. When not outdoors, I’m enjoying my time with my wife, daughter, and two dogs.
Matt McClain
Service Technician | Elkhart
I'm Matt! A former distiller and whiskey connoisseur, I've recently turned my long-time passion for cycling into a career. Whether it's road or gravel, riding or racing, I'm all in. When I'm not at work, you'll find me on my bike or spending quality time with my two daughters. Cheers to new adventures - on and off the saddle!
