Gearing Up

We'll be over at Higher Folds this weekend - our first event for Big Bike Revival 2018

Really pleased to announce that we'll be working with Cycling UK again this year to run a series of local events and workshops. Getting more bikes back on the road - more people riding. What could be better?

We're always in need of bikes for us to refurbish and Recycle in the workshop at the Brick Works. If you've got anything you no longer need please get in touch . You can drop them off here anytime or give us a call to arrange collection. Thanks!

We took in 2 bikes in serious need of some TLC. Simon and the team were fantastic, all repairs done within a couple of days, even custom made a brake pad for my random brake discs!! FAR CHEAPER than any other bicycle repair shop and the service is absolutely amazing. Would wholeheartedly recommend for anyone looking for repairs or even a new bike.

Popped my road bike in for a service.

Simon was excellent. Sorted it really quickly. Will deffo take the bike back when it needs another service. Thanks �

Many thanks to Simon, Andy,Tony and Paul for their patience today in helping me to sort out a 50 yr old bike that hasn't been ridden for 20 years! I will be back again if Simon arranges a workshop on how to renovate Sturmey Archer gears! What a great place both to work on a bike. Good tools, friendly people and a warm welcoming environment.

Great service from Simon and team. Would definitely recommend ��

Great place. Nice staff and lovely little cafe xx

Came in one Saturday to do a bike maintenance course and Simon and Paul couldn't be more helpful. Absolutely fantastic day, tailoring it to suit my needs and showing me anything i wanted to know about repairing my bike. Passionate and knowledgeable about all aspects of cycling and repairs. Get on the next course you wont be disappointed.
