For over 40 years, Chevin Cycles have been serving the Leeds cycling community with all things bike related from their Otley shop. Their range of cycles, clothing and accessories is enormous, and they even sell individual bike parts, so if you’re up to speed on repairs, you could save some dosh on services. From Trek and Orbea to Domane and Whyte, your choice of wheels is endless.

The Bikes College
The Bikes College is one of the most unusual bike shops in Leeds. In fact, it’s less bike shop, and more social enterprise – they restore secondhand bikes otherwise headed for landfill. Their aim is to make sure everyone has access to a bike if they want it. Simply pop along and take your pick, put a deposit down and come back later to pick up your fully road-worthy steed. If you want to get social on your bike, they even have a WhatsApp group where they organise rides every weekend.

From modern all-in-one bikes to light, stainless-steel race models, they can do it all. What’s more, their repair service is so good that they have helped to maintain the University of Leeds’ 500-strong student hire fleet, as well as supply and repair police bikes for five local forces – you know you’re in excellent hands.

Dave Rayner Cycle Sport

Whether it’s a road bike for events, a light bike for triathlons or a mountain bike for an MTB adventure, they’re only too happy to advise, repair and even build you a custom frame. But that’s not all, they’re also a Polaris Bike Pod Pro hire centre – these large moulded plastic travel cases protect your bike at home and abroad. Instead of getting in the way in the garage, hire one and hide it away.

Halfords
Probably the most recognisable name on the Leeds high street, Halfords’ biggest selling point might just be the sheer variety of bikes on offer. They stock every big-name, along with a slew of accessories, parts and clothing. The expert technicians will build your bike in the shop and you can bring it back in for a free 32-point health check. Add to that flexible financing options and you’re all set. A wide range of repairs are catered for too, whether you’ve got a flat tyre, the brakes are jammed or the chain’s come loose.
