UK delivery

If your item is in stock and ordered before 12pm, we will do our best to despatch your order the day you place it. In busy times we tell you how long it will take us to process it.

The above does not apply to bikes, which we have to assemble and inspect before repacking for dispatch. Typically we try to have bike orders dispatched within 3-5 days, but in busier times it may take longer. In those cases we'll let you know of longer than expected delivery times.

Please bear in mind that we are closed on Wednesdays, so no items will be dispatched then.

Free postage over £40

For small items we use Royal Mail's 48 service which has a delivery time of typically 2-3 days from dispatch; though you do have the option to upgrade to 24 which is generally next-day from dispatch if you require your order sooner. Please note in some cases the item will need to be signed for, so please provide an address where someone will be in.

Orders of over £40 will qualify for free standard postage with Royal Mail 48. This may exclude certain bulky or awkward items which will be calculated automatically at the basket screen.

Bike shipping

When we send out a larger parcel such as a bike or trailer we use a next-day courier - usually either DPD or Parcelforce.

For these reasons please supply us with a delivery address where there will be someone in to sign for your parcel. If there is nobody in when the couriers call, they will leave a card. You can then phone them to arrange delivery for another day or collect your goods from your local depot (a photo ID with proof of address will be required).

How will my bike be delivered?

We fully assemble, safety check and inspect every bike as though you were going to ride it away from our showroom.

However, to get it back into a box suitable for a courier to handle, we have to remove the pedals, handlebar and usually the front wheel - so some minor reassembly is required when the bike is delivered to you.

Please bear in mind that you might need a 15mm spanner for the pedals (adult's bikes generally do not come with pedals included, so you may not need to worry about this), and 4mm, 5mm and 6mm allen/hex keys for the reassembly.

Outside the UK

Since Brexit it is no longer feasible for our website to have permanent shipping prices for international delivery. Instead, if there is an item you are interested in, please Contact Us with a full delivery address and we will quote for delivery.

All the prices on our website and catalogue are in pounds sterling and are inclusive of VAT, but VAT will be removed for international orders. Please bear in mind that you will likely have to pay your country's taxes, import duties and associated courier handling fees for any items.

Cycle to Work

×

The Cycle to Work scheme is a government scheme designed to provide a more affordable way for you to purchase a new bike & equipment for cycling to work.

Depending on your tax bracket and the scheme provider used, you can save 25%-47% on the price of a new bike and accessories as well as spreading the cost over a period of 6-48 months without paying any interest.

The bike purchased on the scheme can be any kind of bike - hybrid bike, road bike, mountain bike, electric bike, cargo bike - as long as the primary user of the bike is the person who took out the scheme. So... no children's bikes, sorry.

It sounds too good to be true, but rest assured it really is that much of a no-brainer.

Click & Collect

×

We've all got busy lives, and sometimes it's easier just to browse online at home rather than having to come out to our shop. Our click & collect service is free and easy to use - simply:

  1. Browse the site and add the items you'd like to collect to your basket.
  2. Head to the checkout and select Collect in Store as your delivery region under the Delivery Region/Country header.
  3. Proceed through the online checkout and pay for your items as usual.
  4. We'll be in touch as soon as your order is ready to collect! In cases where an item is out of stock or might take a while to arrive we'll let you know. Payment is not actually processed against your card until we've accepted the order.
  5. Come to the store and collect your items whenever is convenient. Please bring valid photo ID just in case!

We have got a new selection of bicycle bags that don't rely on a rack and are also being used by Mark Beaumont on his record breaking adventure. The Apidura range includes a selection of lightweight bags for each part of your bike such as; handlebar packs, accessory packs, mountain frame packs, road frame packs, saddle packs and top tube packs. We have got the full range online and in-store at our Tadcaster High Street shop.

Apidura produces ultra-light bicycle bags. These bags are durable, extremely functional and lightweight letting riders spend more time actually enjoying the ride. They use a rackless packing system getting rid of the need for a bike rack, which would add weight to the bike. The rackless packing systems offer:

  • Lighter weight: For equivalent carrying capacity, Apidura's packing system is 60% lighter than traditional rack and pannier system.
  • Improved Handling: Apidura's packing systems distribute the weight more evenly over the bike, creating a more natural and enjoyable riding experience.
  • Greater Flexebility: Apidura's packing systems attach directly to the bicycle frame, making it possible to carry gear on almost any type of bicycle without the need for tools.
  • Hypalon reinforced velcro straps for strength and to minimize frame abrasion.
  • Yellow interior liner for enhanced visibility.
  • One-finger zipper pullers for easy access on the go.
  • Full length nylon water resistant zip with protected closure.
  • Reflective graphics to enhance rider safety.
  • Constructed from high quality materials and optimised for durability and strength.

 

The Apidura range features bike packs for each part of your bike, letting you get the most out of your bike. Each bag has a selection of different sizes, so the right sized bicycle bag is available for either your mountain, road, hybrid or electric bike.

Mark Beaumont is currently trying to set a new Guiness world record for cycling the length of Africa. Currently he is on target, and as seen below helping him along his journey is the Apidura handlebar pack, saddle pack, accesory pack, top tube and frame pack. The full set is there, making it possible to carry a lot more without having to sacrafice the weight by getting a bike rack. Hopefully Mark can beat the current record!
