Workshops - coming soon!
Our workshops are all about giving you the confidence and skills to look after your own bike. Each month, we run friendly evening sessions focused on a different theme — from fixing punctures and adjusting brakes to tackling disc brake maintenance or changing cassettes.
Whether you’re new to bike mechanics or looking to build on what you know, there’s a session for you. You can also book time at one of our bike stands, either with the support of a mechanic or to work independently with access to our tools. It’s a great way to learn, share knowledge, and keep your bike in top shape.

We stock a small but essential range of bike parts to help keep you riding safely and comfortably. Whether you need new rim or disc brake pads, a fresh inner tube or tyre, or simple upgrades like new grips or a reliable bike lock, chances are we got it.
