… where love and passion for bicycles meet knowledge and expertise.

Our mechanics are trained to provide exceptionally high-quality bike services and repairs to a huge variety of bicycles – from Brompton’s to Cargo bikes to kids’ bikes, e-bikes, and everything in between, we can help you with any issue your bike might face. Our workshop is equipped with electric EZ Lifts, enabling us to fully inspect, and service even the largest cargo bikes with ease.

We are accredited Tern Cargo Bikes, Brompton and Shimano service centres.

Our services

All our services start with a FREE safety check! It's ideal to have it done while you wait, allowing us to explain all the details and reasons behind it.

Knowledge is key! No strings attached, no stress, just good vibes.

To ensure customers are at the centre of our work, we’ve created a bicycle journey that is simple and transparent. No surprise charges! We provide you with a full quote before any restorations, services, or adjustments. We will only do what was agreed with you!

You can bring your bike in at any point - no need to make a booking.

  • Please be aware that our complimentary FREE SAFETY CHECK service does not meet the criteria for assessing bikes involved in accidents.
