I decided to trade in a bike I no longer used. The exchange was very smooth. The description of my purchased bike was accurate. The bike mechanic who examined my bike was very helpful and pointed a few faults out with mine. Which I was was unaware.
He offered me help setting up help. Very professional service

I've bought two bikes now from cycle exchange. My latest (a TT bike) arrived 4 after I bought it and was in better condition that i'd hoped.

If you a looking to get the discount of a second hand bike, but the assurance that it's going to be in good nick and last you, then CE is the best place for me.

Lucky enough to purchase a stunning Reilly Titanium Fusion Bike at a very competitive price. The bike was described as immaculate and it did not disappoint, it was truly stunning. Great communication from Hazel and Matt. Delivery was fast and the bike was so well packaged. Thank you for all your help and cannot recommend you all highly enough. 👍🚴

Had been looking for this particular bike for a while (Liv Langma Pro). Finally came up in my size.
I traded in a gravel bike in exchange. The whole process was straightforward and the staff were great.
Am very happy with the bike and have recommended Cycle Exchange to a few people.

Good choice of bikes in the category and size I was looking for. Very patient young fella helped to set each bike up for me. Able to test ride the bikes. Bike was second hand but in excellent condition. Good valve. Went in the next day to ask a question about the bike and was made to feel welcome .

Fitted the bill

My needs for a cycle were quite specific, Cycle Exchange had a bike that looked as though it would work. I was able to test it out alongside another bike that may work. It helped me decide what was best for me. I have only had 2 rides out so far due to opportunities but I am quite happy with the bike, very good condition for a second hand bike and not a bad price. Thank you

Great concept, even better service.

Bikes are all top notch and good as new. Service received from Hazel and Josh was excellent too. Very prompt email communication and in store couldn't be more helpful. Took a bike out to test whilst we were there and then able to purchase on cycle to work scheme too. 12 month warranty as well. What a great experience.
