This month marks a big milestone for me - it’s the 2-year anniversary of the Catalyst Pedals!
That's right, it’s been 2 years since I sent out that first email letting people know about them and seeing if anyone would be interested in pre-ordering a pair.
And while I was hoping to sell 100 pairs, we ended up getting over 550 pre-orders. That was a great start and in the last 2 years we’ve gone on to sell over 5000 pairs of pedals and help a lot of riders in the process.
To mark the occasion I put together a couple of things.
The first is a podcast where I share the story of how the Catalyst Pedal went from an idea to an actual product that anyone can buy and put on their bike. It was an interesting journey into the manufacturing side of the bike industry and I learned a lot about how things really work behind the scenes.
You can download or stream this podcast below.
I also wanted to get a special limited-edition Catalyst Pedal made, one that captured the humble beginnings of the Catalyst Pedal as a simple prototype with a dream.
To accomplish that we used an anodized Polished Silver…and it came out pretty sweet if I do say so myself.
With the look of a raw aluminum prototype, it perfectly captures the feel of those first Catalyst Pedals I hand assembled in my garage.
But, like all the limited-edition colors we create, there is a very limited supply and once they are gone they are gone for good.
So, if you’d like to get a pair of our special 2-year anniversary pedals then just click on the link below and order yours today:

And while you’re there you can check out our new website. We had it updated to make it easier to use and learn about the benefits of the Catalyst Pedals. Be sure to let us know what you think!
Thanks for all the support, until next time…
