About Bicyclenation

We believe cycling should be a natural part of everyday life: getting to work, getting around the city, and supporting your wellbeing.

Our mission is simple: help more people ride, keep bikes in great condition, and create places where cycling thrives. We concentrate on customer service and practical advice, helping you meet your cycling needs no matter where you’re starting from.

Bicycle repairs

We have a fully equipped workshop for bicycle after-sales service and repairs and, over the years, we’ve built an excellent reputation for the quality of our work. Our bike servicing is very thorough and typically includes:

  • Replacing parts that are worn or damaged
  • Inflating tyres to pressure
  • Checking the bearings
  • Truing wheels
  • Aligning and tightening all nuts and bolts

We always use quality branded replacement parts.

Bikes, parts and accessories

We sell a huge range of new bikes, including Ridgeback bicycles, Brompton folding bikes, Gazelle e-bikes, Tern electric cargo bikes, and Woom children’s bikes. We also sell all the accessories you’ll ever need such as locks and lights, as well as spare parts, accessories, and helmets.

Education

We believe that great cycling starts with the right bike and the right information. Knowledge is power, and we love to empower cyclists — so we’ve designed different programmes. Some are built for schoolchildren, while others are for commuters who want to learn more about bike maintenance or safety tips for getting around the city by bike.

Cycle2Work

Cycle2Work is a great employee benefit which offers the most cost-effective way to get new cycling equipment. The scheme is run via a salary sacrifice meaning you won’t pay tax or national insurance — this saves you between 32% and 42% on your new bike and accessories. This reduced cost is simply deducted out of your payslip over 12 or 18 months, so there’s no need to worry about large one-off costs.
