About K.M.B

Keswick Bikes aka K.M.B was born in the heady summer of '92 by Amos Doron and Andy Prestwich who still head up the business today. K.M.B has 3 specialist Lake District locations (all in Keswick) with a massive bike brand portfolio that; Commencal, Kona, Specialized, Giant & Trek, with custom build options from Nicolai, Foes, Yeti, Merlin and Cove.
We offer expert, impartial advice and make sure our customers get exactly the right bike for their kind of riding, because we know how important it is to get it right.
We are all bikers ourselves (11 of us full time, 1 part time, 1 with part time teeth...) and really rider focused, making full use of our own experience of what works (and where to ride!) and passing this information on to our customers.

Keswick is a truly brilliant place for mountain bikers, surrounded by awesome riding and it's the reason that brought, and keeps, us all here.
We like to put something back and another good reason to support an IBD like us is we donate a percentage of our profits to 'Fix the Fells' keyed into local Bridleway repairs.

If you ever need route advice for riding in the Lake District just drop in to Otley Road and speak to Simon or Max, if there's a Lakeland trail you want to ride it's likely they've already ridden it!
Given the great local natural riding we've got a huge demo (and hire) fleet for folks to try their potential new bike in real conditions before they buy. There's also a refitted Shimano Service Centre down at the Southey Hill location that's also a Hayes Super Centre, Magura Passion Point and Marzocchi service centre which all helps to keep the Coast to Coasters, Avid Locals and visiting Weekend Warriors rolling 7 days a week.

We ride out every Monday and Thursday evenings (6pm outside the Pedlar for group rides all year round and the KGB (Keswick Girlie Bikers) also ride out on Wednesday evenings.
We have a penchant for good coffee (and cake) at Otley Road, although our customers usually bring the cakes! The Pedlar staff already have access to great cakes and coffee being above a tasty wholefood café!

We're looking forward to another season repeating the success of our sponsored XC and D/H teams, where we've had KMB riders representing us, (and the UK), both at National and International level in 2006.
