The Bikes

All our bikes have been donated.  They come in a variety of states and we check them over and fix anything we find that needs repair.  All the bikes have a detailed safety check.  We don’t know the bikes’ history and we haven’t carried out a complete restoration so we offer a 1 month warranty on all the bikes we sell in case issues emerge after purchase that we haven’t spotted and fixed or if adjustments are needed.  If you aren’t happy with a bike we’ve sold and you return it promptly in the condition we sold it we are happy to exchange for something more suitable.  We charge a £10 cleaning fee if the bike isn’t clean.

We try and sell the bikes at affordable prices.  As well as preventing unwanted bikes become scrap, we also want to promote cycling locally as a practical and affordable means of transport.

How to buy:

Sales are by appointment in our yard.  The bikes are all stacked tightly in small cellars so it isn’t possible to just drop in and browse.  You can see all the available bikes on the website (or email for advice) and then contact us to arrange an appointment.  We can reserve a bike for you (no obligation to buy).

We take payment by card / contactless / or exact cash.  Sorry, no cheques or bank transfers.
