Store Spotlight: Pedal Pushers Antiques, Denmark

Some shops specialize. Pedal Pushers Antiques in Denmark, Wisconsin — ten minutes off I-43 south of Green Bay — specializes in the kind of things most antique malls never see: vintage bicycles, pedal cars, and full-size antique motorcycles, including a 1934 Indian and a 1964 Harley-Davidson.

The supporting cast is deep too: vintage signs, military memorabilia from WWII onward, Depression glass, clocks (including a rare Winchester), phonographs and vinyl, old currency, and malt-shop equipment. It's the good kind of dense — the aisles reward a slow lap.

And here's the most Wisconsin detail we've encountered while building this site: the shop shares its building with Blossoms and Steve's Cheese. You can buy fresh cheese curds and an espresso, then go price a pedal car. This is the culture at its peak.

Open seven days a week, 10 to 5:30. If you're running the I-43 corridor between Milwaukee and Green Bay, this is the detour. Full listing, map, and directions here.
