Celebrating Local Bike Shops and Inclusive Cycling
This post was originally published to celebrate Local Bike Shop Day. While the event and promotion have now passed, the reasons for supporting your local bike shop remain as important as ever.
Why local bike shops matter
Local bike shops do much more than sell cycles. They provide expert advice, servicing, repairs, and support that help people cycle with confidence.
At Get Cycling CIC, we believe cycling should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we specialise in inclusive cycling and support riders of all ages, abilities, and experience levels.
More than a bike shop
As a community interest company based in York, we help people find cycling solutions that work for them.
Our services include:
- Inclusive and adapted cycle sales
- Cycle hire, including tandems, trikes, and handcycles
- Repairs and servicing
- Advice on funding and accessibility
- Support for individuals, families, organisations, and community groups
Whether you are new to cycling or looking for a specialist cycle, our team is here to help.
Supporting cycling in York and beyond
Choosing a local bike shop helps support skilled mechanics, community programmes, and independent businesses.
In addition, local shops can provide personalised advice that online retailers often cannot match. This is especially important when choosing an adapted or inclusive cycle.
Visit Get Cycling CIC
Our York showroom welcomes visitors from across the UK. We encourage people to try different cycles, ask questions, and explore the options available.
Whether you are interested in cycle hire, servicing, or finding the right adapted cycle, we would be delighted to help.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support local bike shops and inclusive cycling.
Happy Cycling!
