Great deal with the current “trade in”offer. This resulted in a really good discount on a review winning, in demand bike. I’d also like to say that I’ve never seen a bike so carefully packaged... See more

Plus, the very best in clothing and equipment to help you enjoy the ride.

Today we are Wheelbase.co.uk, Wheelbase Lake District, Wheelbase Darlington and Wheelbase Yorkshire. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive and friendly store for everyone who loves cycling, whether that be road cycling, mountain biking, touring, commuting, family riding or e-Bikes.

We are a team united by a passion for bikes and we have a wide range of cycling experience amongst our sales staff, mechanics and mail order team.

Our passion for cycling is invested back into the sport through the sponsorship and support of our British Elite road race team Wheelbase CabTech Castelli.

Now in its 12th year, we hold our annual MTB demo weekend in April, attracting up to 250 riders to our Lake District store, often in spite of the wet Cumbrian weather. We have a great community of cyclists here in the Lake District and there are plenty of events going on throughout the year, including the Fred Whitton Challenge in May and 3 Valleys Challenge in June. We offer backing to local organisations where possible and are great supporters of Kendal Cycle Club and Fix the Fells.

What a fantastic experience using this…

What a fantastic experience using this Company. We bought cube hard tail mountain bike for our grandson birthday. We requested if it could be delivered on a pacific day which was. Straight out the box and very easy to set up - all we had to do was put the pedals on the bike and straighten the handlebars. Gears were prefect 👍👍👍👍 the bike also very well wrapped for full protection in transit. I buy from this Company again without hesitation - thank you so much⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Outstanding customer service and fantastic communication!

The customer service here is truly amazing. We ran into an issue with the courier—which was absolutely no fault of Wheelbase—but the team handled the situation with total professionalism. I cannot thank them enough for how they dealt with everything from start to finish. A special thanks to both Matt and John, who were absolutely amazing throughout the process. I would highly recommend them!

Highly recommended….

Great Bikes, great prices. Communication was really good, I felt well informed and knew what was going on. The bike arrived sooner than expected, but again I was informed what day it could be delivered and given the option to change. The packaging was really good, the whole bike was wrapped in foam and bubble wrap, and therefore arrive without damage. Inside the box was a really nice ‘wheelbase’ bag which had all the paperwork and service book inside, all the tooling required to mount the handlebars and pedals, and the charger. This is a nice touch, and somewhere to keep the charger and manuals throughout ownership. I would highly recommend this company and will definitely be buying more bikes from them in the future.

Brompton warranty repair

Had an issue with my relatively new Brompton, which I couldn’t resolve myself. Adrian at Wheelbase diagnosed the problem and dealt with Brompton to obtain replacement parts. The service was quick and easy and I really appreciate the quick turn around. Great service from a very busy and knowledgeable workshop team.

Awesome and trusted business

Awesome business and excellent customer service. The product we purchase was at a price that couldn’t be matched on the market. The follow-up customer was second to none and they really accommodating to our personal circumstances. Highly rated and trusted,

Outstanding value for money, great service.

I recently purchased a new Cannondale from Wheelbase and the price was quite simply outstanding. The service and delivery matched the price and I would very happily use Wheelbase again.

Throughout the purchase process Wheelbase were prompt and professional.

Every aspect was seamless

Every aspect was seamless, the selection, order, and fulfilment of the order all handled with care. The bike was delivered when promised, it was exceptionally well packaged, lots of support was provided in terms of instructions for the few elements of assembly needed and the after care support provided by Matt has been 5 star all the way - highly recommended!
