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!

When Steve and Maya first contacted us, we were blown away by their vision and determination despite the heart break they had both endured when they sadly lost their daughter Laila Milly to Aicardi syndrome.

Steven and Maya were inspired to start the charity after their daughter Laila died last March when she was just twelve months old. She was born with Aicardi Syndrome, a life-threatening condition so rare that only 300 to 500 cases are known worldwide. Laila’s condition meant that she could have up to 20 epileptic seizures per day. She was blind, had an enlarged heart and was gastrostomy fed. There was no treatment, only management and care.

During her short life she received care from the children’s hospice Martin House in Clifford - Cyclesense also support Martin House whenever we can.

Martin House cares for 300 families a year and due to the high demand on the charity. Steve and Maya decided to raise money to create a facility in Hemsworth to provide day care for children up to the age of five. The nursery will provide a caring and secure environment, using an individual approach to each child and family. The nursery will enhance the quality of life for parents and children within the local community and surrounding communities . Most importantly the nursery will provide care and a secure environment for each family and child at a time when they need it the most.

Through Steven and Mayas own experiences they have met families at Leeds general hospital, Sheffield children's hospital, Pontefract Hydes ward and Martin house childrens hospice. They have all said there isn't enough community nursing teams and a shortage of nursery nurses for respite care.

" Laila Milly passed away on 2nd March 2011: A day before her 1st birthday. She was an absolute angel and full of inspiration which is why the Foundation has been set up. We want to help more children like Laila and more parents like us."

Their latest fundraising venture will take the couple from the Isle of Arran to the Isle of Harris on bikes borrowed from Cyclesense. We have also lent them an Extrawheel trailer so they can carry extra gear without having to use touring bikes. Steven and Maya will be making a video diary and keeping us up to date with their progress, we will be posting this on the news section on our website. You can also follow them on their facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/TheLailaMillyFoundation

If you can spare some money, please help them reach the £50,000 they need to finish the nursery - you can donate by visiting this page - http://www.lailamillyfoundation.org.uk/donate.html  and following the instructions.
