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

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.
