Workshop Report

Our large workshop is equipped with all the best professional and specialist tools to carry out all types of cycle repair and servicing. It is however Graham's own dedication to high standards and attention to detail which ensure the professional quality of work which our customers have come to expect.

Vintage & Classic Report

We love nothing more than rescuing a worn out or neglected vintage or classic bike and restoring it to its former glory! Wherever possible we use new parts which maintain the original character of the bike.

Some of our customers will however want to change the riding position and other features to make the bike more comfortable or suitable for their purposes - changing from drop bars to a more upright style is a good example of this, and something we are very happy to do.One of our recent refurbishment projects: a 1983 Raleigh Superbe given a new lease of life for a happy owner.

Tandems Report

Unlike at most cycle shops tandems are not a side line for us. My association with tandems goes back to the 1970's when I first rode tandem with my family. Ever since then I've always had a tandem or two and we've always repaired, serviced and built tandems as part of the extensive range of cycle work we offer.

I am delighted with the work that Graham has done on my 1937 3 speed raleigh
I came across this bike by chance and didn't have any idea of how to get it back to working order
Whilst searching online for help hicks cycles kept popping up and after deciding to brave the 6 hour round trip I'm delighted that I did not only did I get my bike in order I met a legend

Positive: Quality
Absolutely delighted with the service from Graham on our two bikes. They both needed a complete overhaul and when we got them back they were like two new bikes, just great to ride again. We can't recommend Hix Cycles highly enough. Thank you so much Graham!

Graham the proprietor is very knowledgeable and always meticulous in his work. An old style friendly local bike shop experience which is rare these days.

What a rare treat! - to find a business that actually cares more for good service and customer satisfaction than getting as much money out of you as possible. Charged £5 to repair bearings on cycle wheel and did it there and then in about 5minutes. Wonderful!

Graham has recently repaired my bike again. His prices are very reasonable and he completes the repairs very quickly, dropped my bike off on Friday and the bike was ready the following morning. I recommend Hix Cycles for bike repairs, I wouldn't go anywhere else, thanks again Graham.

Graham done a great job and repaired my wheel that I've been told by other local bike shop that it can't be repaired. Great price and very nice experience overall. I definitely recommend and use again.

Took my daughter's 14" bike in to be looked at after it was making a knocking noise. Graham quickly identified and fixed the problem and made the bike much safer for her to ride at a very reasonable price. Will use again in the future for any bike issues.

I have recently had my bike made by Graham. I can genuinely say that I have not come across many people with the kind of expertise and integrity that Graham has. The cycle is built to a fantastic standard, the service was impeccable, and it looks terrific. I gave Graham a max price limit as I commute to work and do some leisurely weekend cycling. He didn't ask me for any extra money and stuck to the limit. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anybody who is interested in cycling.

We took our tandem in for a service recently and Graham has done a great job with it. It feels as good as new and we will definitely come back. Graham knows his stuff and we really enjoyed his passion for all things bicycle. Highly recommend them!
