Withington Cycles is a traditional community based cycle shop, which is rapidly becoming Manchester's Premier Cycle Repair Centre. In times when cycle retailers no longer seem to want to get their hands dirty, Withington Cycles offers a maintenance and repair service second to none. Whether it is a simple puncture, a major service, or a frame modification and complete makeover, we are up to the job.

We always have a wide range of new cycles in our showroom and can order unstocked cycles for delivery in a matter of days. We stock many brands including: Falcon, Claud Butler, GT, Mongoose, We The People, Charge, and Withington Cycles Custom built bikes. Every new bike comes with at least 2 free services in the first year and our trained mechanics ensure they do not leave the shop until they have been thoroughly checked and road tested.

Cycle to Work Scheme Report

You can save up to 42% on the cost of a new bike and equipment using a cycle to work scheme. The scheme allows you to get a bike through your employer and pay for it out of your gross salary, saving you the Income Tax and National Insurance. As part of The Green Transport Plan the Government have allowed a tax exemption which enables employers to provide bikes and safety equipment to employees as a tax-free benefit.

Such a great local business. The staff were really friendly and quick to help this novice bike owner with air in my tires, and to explain how to fix myself next time. Would definitely recommend!

Fixed my gear indexing after I made a right mess of it. Wouldn’t even accept any money for the work. Great local bike shop!

I've used these guys a few times now. Replacing my Crankset after pedal issue, told me what parts to get and fitted extremely quickly. The knowledge and experience is evident, incredibly competent and finished to a high standard. Could even tell that I've used Aldi Muc-off just by smell!!!!
Really nice people and absolutely my number one place to go whenever I have problems with my bike. Ignore everywhere else, this is the place to go.

I couldn't rate the guys any higher - always received spot on service and great value for all their work. They've also saved me a fair bit of money when work isn't necessary. I've been going there for the past 6 years - many upgrades and woes along the way, whilst I'm still no expert, the guys have educated me on the way on taking care of my bike and what works best for me. I've never seen them so busy so please check the website for latest advice on the next service date. Thanks chaps.

Just popped round for a quick consultation about an issue, and Simon was super helpful in testing and diagnosing my bike's problem and provided a quick oiling, all for free! Really helpful, and I'll certainly be going back there with any further issues :)

I went there knowing absolutely nothing about bikes (the perfect victim) but the lovely gentleman at Withington Cycles fixed my bike quickly and immediately as it was only something small - and then didn’t even charge me! Couldn’t recommend enough, they were so nice and professional

Honestly really want to praise Withington Cycles for being so kind and understanding (I am new to cycling regularly), especially Joe who would listen to all my troubles and help me fix up my bike. Without their help I wouldn't have been able to get the confidence and right advice to fix my bike :)
Really recommend!
They are also good with the coronavirus protocols, coming outside to speak to the customers

Withington cycles were so helpful to my father when he had trouble with his bike this week, even though they were officially closed. They went above and beyond to help him get moving again. Even teaching him to change his tyre as well.

Really great service, from all the staff. They truly and honestly prioritised my safety over making a profit. They sorted out some of my bike issues for free and only charged me for the materials used. Would really recommend without a doubt. Amazing independent bike shop!
Very student friendly:)

I cannot recommend Withington Cycles highly enough! Had a fair bit of work done here over the last couple of weeks, including a replacement fork which was not straight forward so was glad to have brought it to someone as skilled as Rob to get it sorted. Feels like a new bike, an absolute joy to ride again. All the work was carried out to an exceptionally high standard & I also came away with lots of valuable advice. Top quality work, friendly helpful guys, an absolutely fantastic local bike shop.

Great bunch of guys, extremely knowledgable, provide a high quality service and are always totally honest. I’ve bought anything from loose bearings for a 30yr old gents bike, to high end parts for a new bike. I have a second hand pair of wheels they built that are running straight after several years of hammering (rear wheels usually last me a year, tops). Go there, buy stuff, support your local bike shop.
