Road home from Burton on the Cotic Soul this morning. 853 tubing is just great. Smooth and responsive even with me riding. Loads of funky painted barrels around town.

Here we have our latest custom build, most of the parts anyway. Cavazzo frame, our handbuilt carbon wheels, GRX 600 groupset, our carbon bars and seat post, plus it has to have a Brooks. Can you see what’s missing???

We are suppliers of Thule bike racks, bike child seats, strollers, luggage, and bike storage boxes. We also supplier Urban Iki bike child seats.

Checkout Pickering’s Bikes having a Rutland adventure. First video of Downhill Smooth Tarmac Cyclings 2 parter here…

Here we have a bunch of Genesis Croix de Fers all kitted out with bike packing bags by Zefal. Ready for an adventure!!!

One of the biggest bike performance improvers is hand-built wheels. We build top-quality wheelsets with the best components. Our rims are sourced direct from the factory, and we only use sapim stainless spokes and brass nipples. We tune ours builds to your riding style and personal specification.

Don’t buy off-the-shelf, pop in and have a chat.

What a place Rutland is to cycle – highly recommended. We cycled over on Friday, tested out the Rutland forest trails on Saturday, and circumnavigated Rutland Water on Sunday. 110 miles, mostly off road- absolutely wonderful when mixed up with friends.

We have been using these ‘suspension’ stems on our own bikes for a while now. If you want to reduce road / trail buzz and reduce the shock of bumps then these will work for you. Highly reccomended. We will do the fitting and help you to choose the right seetings / elastomers for you.

More like a bike and train trip. A great to get about – all you need is a Brompton!!!

At Pickering’s Bikes we can build whatever you desire to your specification. A new bike doesn’t have to be all new!!! This is a pre-owned Cotic Soul frame with all new parts. Including hand built wheelset by ourselves.

Buy Juice Lubes Sealant 140ml pouch for £5.99 and we’ll refill it for £2. Good for the environment, good for your pocket!!

Buy any tube of 20 High5 electrolyte tablets for £4.50 and get 2 gels free (while limited stocks last)

A few shirts that are special to us. Left – obvious, centre – Tom’s brother is a submariner, right – our local club

Here we have, James. He’s the chap who is cycling from Alaska to Argentina. He begins his epic adventure this Thursday!!! He popped in for a last-minute check-up of his Genesis Tour de Fer. Good luck 👍
