    Buying Your Bicycle and Accessories

    Think of City Cyclist as your own Personal Shopper. As well as the bicycle you will need a handful of essential items before you ride. It's important that you make the right choices and it can be confusing if you don't know where to start. We'll ensure you're on the right track, getting exactly what you want and only what you need.

    Setting Your Bicycle Up

  • Why ride?

    Some reasons why you might choose to ride a bicycle.

    Covid 19

    In these unusual times the normal interactions with people are, well...less normal. Using your bicycle as an alternative to Public Transport is a great way to reduce the risks associated with close contact with others. In addition, you'll make a whole new set of friends on your cycling journeys rather than sitting opposite the same people day in day out on the bus or tube.

    Health benefits

    It goes without saying that pretty much any physical exercise can have a health benefit. However, cycling is very good because it's what's known as 'low impact'. This means that you get to work your heart, lungs and muscles whilst preserving your joints and ligaments.

    Saving money

    Once you've made the initial outlay on your bicycle and helmet, the costs associated with running and maintaining your new mode of transport are really small. As long as your bicycle isn't an absolute wreck to begin with, you should budget about £1 to £2 per week on average for servicing.

    A greener planet

    However small, we all want to make a contribution to a greener planet right? If you live in a city it's particularly relevant that your bicycle journeys are taking up less road space and you are reducing the amount of air pollution in comparison to making the same journey using a motorised vehicle.

  • Covid 19

    Client and Employee Safety

    Protecting both clients and employees from Covid 19 is of paramount importance to City Cyclist.

    Government Legislation and Advise

    City Cyclist actively observes Government legislation and advise regarding safety measures in the fight against Covid 19.

    Helping People Back To Work

    Cycling and related companies were amongst the first to become active again after the lockdown began. We recognise the importance of our role in helping people to get back to work, by providing them with a credible alternative to Public Transport.

  • Here's how it works

    It's really simple. There are four easy steps.

    We call you back

    We'll give you professional and objective advise based on our product and industry knowledge and recommend what's appropriate for you. You can decide where you'd like to take it from here based on our recommendations. There's no charge for this consultation either.
