About us
We are a family run business, now into the fifth generation and have been serving the needs of cyclists for over 100 years. Click HERE to learn about our full history.
So in fairness, what we don’t know about bikes isn’t worth knowing. We figured it was about time that we shared our expertise and vast selection of products with all you home shoppers out there.
We aim to cater for every type of cyclist, from those enthusiastic racers to the family out for a weekend ride in the sun.
If you are looking to buy a complete bicycle or upgrade and replace parts we can provide you with all that you will need.
Bicycles
We figure that having a wide range of cycles to suit all our different customers is of the greatest importance.
However, we also realise that having 101 brands all with different names for the same type of bike is just plain confusing!
So, we have a solution, we stock selected brands to cover the full range without blowing our customers minds with the options available.
Bicycle Accessories
Buying your bicycle is the easy part, now you need to make sure you’ve got the right bike accessories to make riding your bicycle safe and enjoyable.
At Freeman’s Cycles we stock all those essentials that make riding easier. We have a full range of helmets, lights, locks, pannier bags, clothing…the list goes on.
Bicycle Spares & Parts
Cycle spares are our Forte. We stock a huge range of cycle spares including tyres, tubes, frames, forks, gear trains, chains just to name a few.
If you can't see your favourite Brand or Componant on our on-line catalogue, feel free to contact us and we can confirm whether we can obtain this from our suppliers, we can also offer a price for comparison.
We are currently updating our product catalogue to include all newer stock - this should be up to date as soon as possible!
Vintage/Obsolete/Old Stock
As you can imagine, in 100 years of being open for business, the shop has seen changes in the cycle trade and componants.
Our website range doesn’t just include current equipment, we also stock many obsolete parts for older bikes and rebuilds. We have some great condition second hand parts as well as new 'old' parts.
We stock spares for old trade bikes and original Choppers.
