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!

Bicycle Maintenance Course

We are glad to announce our course is now running and all we need is YOU to come and get your hands dirty and your bikes tuned!

The course in basic bicycle maintenance will be undertaken in either group sessions or single sessions depending on what you already know and how much you would like to learn; below we have outlined what each session will include so you can choose the perfect course.

Group Session - £35

If you find it difficult to repair a puncture, check your bicycle for safety and if the thought of adjusting anything on your bike slightly scares you then this is the course for you.

By the end of it you will be confident enough tackle all basic jobs full on and come out if it smiling.

We will look at the following points:

 Removing/refitting both wheels

 Replacing an inner tube the correct way

 Brake adjustment

 Gear indexing

 Safety checking your bike

Single Session - £50

If you have just looked at the above and mentally ticked them all off in your head then we would advise having a one to one with our expert mechanics. We will quickly run through the above points to see if you are doing them correctly then get onto the more technical details of maintenance.

This course will focus a lot more on your bicycle and we can adapt the session to suit your needs if you let us know in advance.

We will look at the following points:

  •  Group session subjects
  •  Advanced brake set-up including cable/pad replacement
  • Advanced gear set up including cable replacement
  • Headset adjustment
  • Problem Solving

Where and when?

The group session is going to be held at our Thorp Arch store and will be a group of 4 people; it will take up to 3 hours on a Sunday Morning from 10am.

Single sessions will be held in Tadcaster and take up 2 hours, been a single session we can work with you to determine what time is best.

What to bring:

  • Bicycle
  • Notepad
  • Wear suitable clothing – Old jeans and top

We will provide aprons, gloves and any tools that you will need during the session.

If you have any questions about any of the courses then please call the shop or email us your queries.

Tel: 01937 530303

Email: workshop@cyclesense.co.uk

Ask for Tom and he will answer any questions.

Please Note:

All bicycles must be cleaned before attending for health and safety reasons - plus no one wants to work on a dirty bike even if it is your own.

Your bicycle must have had a service within the last 3-6 months; this will just make sure your bicycle is in a decent enough condition for you to be able to learn from it. We do have bikes that you can use but they might not use the same components making it difficult for you to relate to.

If you have booked to come on the course and have to cancel please let us know 48hrs before the arranged date so we can fill up your space.
