About RM Cycles
Written by the company
Welcome to RM Cycles
Your Local Bike Shop Online
The independent, family-run cycle shop in Tenterden, Kent
Thanks for visiting RM Cycles! We’re a proudly family-owned and run independent bike shop, established in 2008 and based just outside Tenterden, Kent — one of England’s most charming market towns.
Cycling is in our DNA. Every member of our team is a cyclist or triathlete, so we truly understand the joy, challenges, and precision that come with finding the perfect bike. Whether you’re chasing podiums, exploring trails, or rediscovering the fun of two wheels, we’re here to help.
Our Philosophy
Come for the Price – Stay for the service
At RM Cycles, buying a bike isn’t a one-time transaction — it’s the start of a long-term relationship. From your first visit to every service that follows, we’re committed to giving you the smoothest, most reliable experience possible.
We want you to have total peace of mind knowing that your local bike shop understands your needs, knows your bike inside out, and genuinely cares about keeping you riding your best.
Shop with Confidence
Although we’re a traditional bricks-and-mortar store, most of our customers now find us online — and we aim to make that experience just as personal. Buying a new bike can be exciting but also daunting, which is why we encourage you to call or message us before purchasing. We’ll help you find exactly the right model, size, and setup for your goals and budget; Just as you would if you vistied your local bike shop!
We’re proud to stock some of the world’s most respected cycling brands, including Giant, Liv, Pinarello, Colnago, Santa Cruz, Trek, Cannondale and Frog Bikes. While we’re known for high-end road and mountain bikes, we welcome riders of all abilities and budgets — because everyone deserves expert advice and exceptional service. We want our customers to enjoy riding as much as we do!
Independent. Passionate. Trusted.
Unlike many UK bike retailers, RM Cycles is completely independent. That means our advice is always focused on what’s right for you — not on brand quotas or sales targets.
You can meet our owner and see a tour of the store here.
Workshop & Servicing
Our fully equipped workshop offers everything from quick tune-ups to full custom builds. Whether you’re maintaining your favourite bike or creating your dream ride, our experienced mechanics will ensure it performs beautifully.

I bought a bicycle from RM Cycles
I bought a bicycle from RM Cycles. They were excellent from initial telephone call right through to when I collected the bike.
I travelled from Derbyshire to pick up the bike, they offered me coffee as soon as I arrived. They give me a bike fit on the new bike making various adjustments to suit me. They then put the bike back on the stand and checked all the bolts, screws etc again to make sure there was nothing wrong.
The bike was in their sale but I felt I was being treated no different than if I was buying a top of the range bike.
I would definitely recommend RM Cycles

Hi Ian thanks for taking the time to post a review, hopefully 'see' you again soon. Happy Riding!
Amazing service and team.
The team there helped me throughout my purchase. They couldn’t do enough to support me through the process, not flinching at my numerous visits and deliberations. A joy to deal with, this level of a family type service is hard to come by these days…..

Bought a 2025 Haibike ALLMTN 6 Men’s Alloy eMTB in Blue from RM Cycles. I was quite nervous as I’ve never spent that much money online before, but after speaking with the staff I was completely reassured. They were very helpful, knowledgeable, and kept me informed throughout the process.
When the bike arrived, we realised it didn’t come with the Kiox 300 display as we had initially thought. However, Mike at RM Cycles went above and beyond to sort things out and resolve the issue quickly and professionally.
Fantastic customer service from start to finish. I’m very grateful and will definitely use RM Cycles again. Highly recommended.

Hi Dean, We'r sorry you had a poor experience with us on your first purchase. Although Royal Mail, the seasonal flu virus and the time of year being a factor in your experience, we have to put our hands up on this one and conceed that even with those factors we haven't met our own standards. Infact we have reviewed our staffing arrangement as a result of the difficulties we had between Christmas and New Year, though of course this doesn't help you now. Many apologies. If there is anything further we might be able to do to make some redress please let us know.

I was let down by another supplier for a set of forks just before Christmas, so ordered from RM Cycles instead. I should have ordered from them in the first place. The order was placed too late to meet the 25th but when they came in on the first working day of 2026 the staff made every effort to fit them to my son’s bike. Very much appreciated and I would recommend RM cycles.

Trouble Free Purchase
Online bike purchase was trouble free. Email query was answered quickly before transaction concluded. Bike was well packaged and exactly as described online. Delivery was fast. No issues
I've not needed to get back in touch with any follow-up/post-delivery questions, as everything has gone smoothly.

The perfect bike shop
Purchased a heavily discounted XC bike recently, which was a total bargain.
Called 3-4 times to make pre-purchase enquiries on the model and every time delighted to have been met with an abundance of professional knowledge & advice. Thanks to both Josh’s and I think Tom was another excellent and very helpful member of the team.
The workshop set up tubeless as requested. The bike arrived on the day requested.
Could not fault the experience it was perfect from beginning to end.
