Cycle Exchange

Driven by Passion, Defined by Expertise.

The destination for buying, selling or exchanging premium used bikes.

Great value, great service and peace of mind. Everything we sell comes with 100% assurance guaranteed. We’ve transformed the second-hand bike market.

The Spark: London 2012

Our story began in the energy and excitement of the London 2012 Olympics. As avid triathletes and cyclists, we were captivated by the sport, but we couldn't ignore a glaring gap in the industry.

While the machinery was incredible, the secondary market was the Wild West. Buying a premium pre-owned bike felt like a gamble. We knew there had to be a better way.

The Concept: Watch Market Standards

We looked outside the industry for inspiration and found it in the luxury watch market. There, pre-owned didn't mean "used" it meant certified, trusted, and premium.

We asked a simple question: Why shouldn't cyclists have the same level of professionalism?

So, we applied those principles—Trust, Expertise, and Certification—to cycling. What started as an online concept and a small store near Richmond Park (the old 139 store!) quickly struck a chord with riders. We weren't just selling bikes; we were professionalizing the resale market.

The Beating Heart: Kingston Refurbishment Centre

As demand grew, so did we. Today, our operation is anchored by our Customer Experience and Refurbishment Centre in Kingston. This isn't just a workshop; it is the industry standard for circular economy logistics.

Here, our team of expert mechanics inspects, services, and certifies every single bike to a "Better Than New" standard. Whether it’s ex-demo stock from major manufacturers or a trade-in from a local rider, nothing leaves our centre without a full warranty and our seal of approval.

Our Service: To Your Doorstep

We believe expertise should be convenient. That’s why we launched our own dedicated hand-delivery service.

We don't rely on anonymous postage; we connect directly with cyclists across the UK.

We buy, sell, and exchange bikes right on your doorstep, bringing the expertise of the Kingston workshop directly to you.

Community & Growth

Even in a challenging post-Covid retail landscape, our commitment to doing things the right way means that we've sold thousands of bikes over the years.

But numbers only tell half the story. We are proud to be embedded in the British cycling community, from sponsoring The Tour of Britain to supporting local grassroots racing like the Guildford Crit.

The Future: Partnering with Beringea

We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Beringea. As experts in scaling marketplace platforms, they share our vision for a sustainable, circular future in retail.

This investment isn't just a milestone for us as a company; it’s a win for every cyclist in the UK. It allows us to scale our operations, reach more riders, and continue redefining what it means to buy a bike.
