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.

Click & Collect

×

We've all got busy lives, and sometimes it's easier just to browse online at home rather than having to come out to our shop. Our click & collect service is free and easy to use - simply:

  1. Browse the site and add the items you'd like to collect to your basket.
  2. Head to the checkout and select Collect in Store as your delivery region under the Delivery Region/Country header.
  3. Proceed through the online checkout and pay for your items as usual.
  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!

The Cycle Show was a great a success

Once again the Cycle Show in London was well worth the visit.

Our stand K7 was always busy with with children and parents enquiring about the bikes and trying them out.

Both Dave and I take turns to have a wonder round the show and see whats new in the Cycle world.

We were surprised and delighted to be visited by cycling legend Eddy Merckx.

The five times Tour de France winner, who now runs his own bike manufacturing company, had a stand near our LIKEaBIKE stand.

I took a LIKEaBIKE Mountain over to his stand and asked him to sign it."Eddy this is what the future tour winners start their cycling careers on " I said.

I could see he was keen to purchase one.

I invited him over to the stand to take a look at the full range.

Cyclesense is the exclusive distributor in the UK for the LIKEaBIKE range. Eddy autographed a wooden bike which is now proudly on display at the Cyclesense childrens ride-on shop in Thorp Arch.

Eddy bought a LIKEaBIKE Jumper, the aluminium model with rear suspension, it looks more like a normal bike. As soon as he picked it up he looked amazed at just how light the bike actually was.....perhaps Axel(Edys Son) had learnt to ride on a much heavier bike!

Cyclesense caused quite a stir at the show, with LIKEaBIKEs available on their stand for children to try out for themselves.

Journalists from Reuters International and the BBC's Sportsround both filmed reports which were later broadcast on television.

[ p]Bike retailers placed large orders for the Christmas market, and sales were also made to members of the public visiting the show.

Many visitors who already owned LIKEaBIKEs stopped by to comment on their quality and durability; some of them were being used by a fifth child!
