We want our customers to enjoy riding as much as we do!

Hi, thanks for taking the time to post a review. Sadly sometimes when the shop is very busy mechanics will throw in a freebie ( such as the water bottle you wanted) when customers buy a bike in the shop and then forget to tender the freebie, and our stock level were therefore out. It doesn't happen very often but totally understand your frustration, Many apologies

Would have been five stars but had to chase up my order, which apparently had left their depot without a label on. Still, they sorted straight away and sent out my new bike next day delivery. Bike is superb and at a great price.

New Bike Purchase

Bought a new Giant Defy online from RM Cycles. Got a very good bike at a very good price. The bike came very well packaged in the Giant box and minimal amount of assembly was required.

I had to contact them with a query before it was delivered and they replied very swiftly the same day.

I stay in Scotland and have never used them before but after this bike purchase I would highly recommend them.
