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.

  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!

Every year I make the long journey to the International Toy Fair in Nuremberg, Germany. My mission... to find new quality, innovative products to add to our range.

The toy fair is a dream come true for a big kid like me. From the minute you get off the plane and into the baggage collection point you are greated by YODA, R2D2, BOBAFET and DARTH VADER all made out of LEGO.

 

 

Being a huge Star Wars fan this gets me excited... shame it was 11:30pm and I still had the 1 hour long drive to Gunzenhausen to our hotel to get some kip before the 1st day of the show.

Every year exhibitors at the International Toy Fair are invited to enter their latest and most creative toys for the ToyAward. A jury of experts awards the prize to the most outstanding products among the entries.

I was pleased to see that our friends at Micro scooped a prize in the Baby & Infant category for the Mini Micro 3 in 1 . We will be stocking these very soon.

 

 

The Mini Micro and seat brings mobility for one-year-olds. And what is really special: the scooter can metamorphose and grow with its owner. For the youngest it comes with a seat and handlebar, so they are all set to start racing. Once the little racers get older - take away the seat and install the T-bar and the Mini Micro turns into a 'real' scooter.  The three wheels provide safety and stability. Steering requires the shifting of the body weight which at the same time trains the kids' motor skills and sense of balance. But the scooter is not only fun, the Micro design makes it a real eye-catcher as well.

With the increasing popularity of smart phones and tablets and the amazing gaming apps that are available for them. It's no wonder that the companies behind board games have had to change their game a little. Another prize winner is this example of board game meets ipad - I had a go with one and I can confirm it is a great bit of tech.

 

 

Appmates by Spin Master International is one of the first toys interacting with the iPad. And it is quite simple: Download a free app with the game from the App Store, move one of the colorful cars from the trendy Disney Cars series onto the touchscreen and off you go... Of course, the game won't hurt the iPad's touchscreen. Whether racing along the highway, making a pit-stop at the garage or at the gas station - this app is a fun way of making kids more skillful. The keen driver will learn by playing including how to master the latest technology - a combination that convinced the jury.

Micro are launching a new product in March 2012 - The Pedal Flow - The folding aluminium vehicle is the latest innovation from the Kickboard inventor. It allows riders to cover short distances with simplicity and speed. With its simple folding design, it’s the ideal companion for getting to work or when visiting the city. It doesn’t require much space, and can be quickly stowed away under the seat in the train or tram. Simply unfold it again and it’s ready to ride and, in addition to this, it’s a lot of fun and a real eye catcher! Available in March 2012.

 

 

Micro had a prototype scooter on the stand. An electric scooter - capable of speeds up to .... and with a range of up to 7km. This range can be extended by using it's regenerative braking function. I had a go on it and I can confirm it is great fun. Another innovation is the way in which the speed of the scooter can be adjusted. There will be a smartphone app that you can download and use to alter the top speed. A handy feature considering the top speed that is available meaning both children and adults can use the scooter safely (well kind of :-)

 Puky have been a feature in our showroom for years now. Puky are specialists in the childrens vehicle category, it's all they manufacture and have been doing so for over 60 years.

This year the product line up is as strong as ever. Here are some of the highlights that will be in our store soon.

The CEETY 2 in 1 Tricycle

 

 

The Go Kart

 

Myself, like so many other people. Visit the show looking for the next craze... what's dissapointing is most of the products you see at the show are copies.
