Richard had kept my old bike running for years with frequent transplants of second-hand parts. When it was time for a full replacement, he found an excellent fit for my needs, and refurbished it to ‘g... See more
Richard sorted me out with a nice work bike at the right price that just needed little fettling. Back and home and cleaned up like new, just what I was after, happy customer.

Company details
Written by the company
Our family-run second-hand bike business was established in 2010 and was previously called Oxford’s Reconditioned Bicycles. We are located at The Village Shop, Stanton St John. Richard is in charge of the bike workshop and Rowan runs the village shop and is available to help with telephone queries. Bikes are available to view here on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 11.00 am-3 pm. Or by appointment on Saturday & Sunday and with free delivery to Oxford at other times. The 108 bus from Oxford city stops right outside the shop! All second-hand bikes are serviced to ensure trouble-free cycling for you and are covered by a 30-day warranty (excluding punctures). Our sources of second-hand bikes are buy-backs from departing students, local bike shops offering part exchanges, a social enterprise teaching bicycle repair, and another supplier receiving bicycles donated to a local authority recycling centre. We offer low-cost options but trusted brands with good quality components provide the best cycling experience for you.

Great second hand bicycles.......
We looked at new bikes at Halfords, most of which were out of stock and to be honest were not that cheap and not good quality either. Looked around for a good second hand bicycle shop and found Village Shop Bicycles with a selection of good quality bikes and much better quality than a cheap new bike. Messaged Richard who replied quickly and arranged to meet him and look at a bike for my 14 year old son. The bike was in very good condition, Richard had replaced the back wheel and gear hub and my son was very happy with his new purchase. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you for the bike
Very nice experience with Richard and Rowan who are lovely people, and the refurbished bike I bought was in perfect condition. Lovely little village shop also where you can buy snacks for your bike ride home.
