We are open 7 days a week from 09:00 - 17:30 (Sundays from 10:00) every day, except for Christmas Day and New Year's Day ..! (Workshop closed on Mondays in Winter)

There are 3 Keswick Bikes locations - all, not surprisingly, in Keswick:

Keswick Bikes @ Otley Road - Our MTB Shop for all things Fat Tyre related.
Keswick Bikes @ The Lakeland Pedlar (incorporating the unmissable Pedlar Wholefood Cafe) - Our Road & Hybrid Shop for all things 700c wheeled.
Keswick Bikes @ Southey Hill - Our Workshop & Hire Bike Centre for repairs, spares, rentals and expert advice from our top mechanics.

Please see below for detailed information on each one and a handy location map.

At Keswick Bikes we all love riding our bikes - from carbon road bikes to folding recumbents and everything in between ..! Between us we have years of experience which allows us to help you to pick products that really work, even in the harshest of environments - such as the Lake District.

All about Keswick Bikes

All about Keswick Bikes

Keswick Bikes (a.k.a. K.M.B) was born back in the heady summer of '92 by Amos Doron and Andy Prestwich who still head up the business today. We have 3 specialist Lake District locations (all in Keswick) with a massive bike brand portfolio including: Commencal, Kona, Specialized, Merida, Giant & Trek and also custom build options from Nicolai, Foes, Yeti, Merlin, Cove, Cotic, Pace & Cervelo.

We offer expert, impartial advice and make sure our customers get exactly the right bike for their kind of riding. We know how important it is to get it right ..!

As bike nuts ourselves we make full use of our own experience of what works - as well and where to use it - and we love passing on this information, and our enthusiasm, to our customers.

Keswick is a truly brilliant place for both mountain AND road bikers - we're a broad church here at Keswick Bikes. We're surrounded by awesome riding and which is the reason that brought, and keeps, us all here.

We like to put something back and another good reason to support an Independent Bike Shop like us is that we donate a percentage of our profits to 'Fix the Fells' keyed into local Bridleway repairs as well as supporting our local race team - Team KeswickBikes.co.uk

If you ever need route advice for riding in the Lake District just drop in to Otley Road and speak to any of our staff because if there's a Lakeland trail you want to ride it's likely they've already ridden it ..!

Given the great local natural riding all around us and the Altura Trail at Whinlatter we have a demo (and hire) fleet so that you can try your next bike in real World conditions before you buy.

Our Shimano Service Centre accredited Workshops (located at Southey Hill in Keswick) is also an accredited Hayes Super Centre, Magura Passion Point and Marzocchi Service Centre. So whether you are visiting Weekend Warrior, a Downhill Demon, a Coast to Coaster, a Roadie Pass Basher or an Avid Local, whatever your servicing needs are Keswick Bikes will keep you rolling.

Group rides leave from outside the Lakeland Pedlar every Tuesday evening @ 6.30pm all year round and the KGB (Keswick Girlie Bikers) ride out on Wednesday evenings @ 6:30pm also leaving from outside the Lakeland Pedlar.

Looking forward to 2010 we're continuing to support and develop our sponsored race team - Team KeswickBikes.co.uk - and we're looking forward to a successes at a local, National, European and World level.

Are They Still There ..?

This is Amos on The Slab at Dalbeatie (and yes we've photoshopped the pic to make it look much steeper than it really is).

You would think he might have learnt by now, but learnt what ..?

Well either that mountain biking is dangerous OR how to ride a bike ..!

These two characters are largely responsible for Keswick Bikes surviving for nearly 20 years, or maybe that should read prospering?

Anyway, its all their fault ..!
