Update on the Cyclery's "open shop" hours in the run-up to Christmas 2026!

The Cyclery church area will now be open for folk to view and buy refurbished bikes on SATURDAYS, from 12 noon until 2pm! Plus there are lots of cycling clothes and accessories in our "pre-loved" kit shop, open alongside.

On Saturdays only, there'll be a special corner for KIDS' bikes, with a "swap" system... so you can leave a bike that your youngster has grown out of and (hopefully) take away a larger one! The first of these "kids' bike swap" days is THIS SATURDAY 7th November.

Feel free to come in and try our adult bikes too - someone can show them to you on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 12 noon until 2pm. See attached photos for the bikes currently ready to go! These six are priced between £60 and £300.

Or maybe your perfect bike is one we've not started working on yet... you'll have to pop in and see 😃❤🚲 We're at 106 Highgate, LA9 4HE, in the church behind Milne Moser estate agents.

PLEASE NOTE: we are not accepting ANY donations of adult bikes for the remainder of 2026, but we really appreciate the many generous offers 🙏
