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!

The Cyclesense Evening Time Trial League is back and better than ever!

Cyclesense time trial league 2017

This year's events

As usual, the league kicks off on the first Thursday of May on everyone's favourite 10 - the gently rolling V318 from Tadcaster. There are again 15 events scheduled on a weekly basis running from the 4th of May through to the 10th of August.

Participant clubs for 2017 remain the same as last year. Members from Alba Rosa, Wetherby Wheelers, Seacroft Wheelers, Yorkshire Road Club, Leeds Westfield and our own Cyclesense Cycling Club will be battling it out on various A-roads around the area to compete against each other and themselves. Marshalling duties rotate weekly amonst the clubs to ensure that everyone gets the opportunity to do the same amount of racing. All participating riders are expected to help their clubs with marshalling.

For 2017 weekly subs will now be £4 per event (£3 for under 16s). This is due to a new partnership with Martin House Children's Hospice. £1 of each participants fee will now go to the charity and the amazing work they do for children with life-limiting conditions.

Time Trialing

Why take part?

Taking part in the time trial league is great for a number of reasons:

  • Motivation. Setting yourself new targets gives you that extra motivation to train throughout the winter and spring, helping you to become a stronger rider. It's important to remember you're not necessarily just competing against other riders. Making improvments on your own times week on week, year on year will help you stay motivated.
  • Introduction. The TT league is a great introduction to get you started in the British racing scene. It's an environment where you can learn from experienced racers and pick up tips to improve your training and racing skills.
  • Training. Perhaps unsurprisingly, riding a bike as hard as you can for 20-30 minutes is actually pretty good training in itself. If you've got different objectives in your season then the time trial league can still make good training.
  • It's fun! Honestly, turning yourself inside out up and down a dual-carriageway on a 10 can be exhilarating if you go into it with the right mindset.
