Engineers who are passionate about bikes.
If you're after a bike that handles whatever the B If you're after a bike that handles whatever the British countryside throws at it, you'll get on very well with @genesisbikesuk . They're a proper UK brand, designed here, for our roads, our weather, and our kind of riding. Genesis built their name on adventure. Their iconic Croix de Fer was literally ridden around the world - a Guinness World Record, which tells you everything you need to know about how tough and capable these bikes are. That same go-anywhere spirit runs through the whole range. Genesis bikes are perfect for riders who: Want a bike that lasts - steel frames, quality components, built to take a beating Ride mixed terrain - lanes, gravel, towpaths, canal paths, commutes and everything in between Like the idea of one brilliant bike that earns its keep every single day Pop in to our Woodville shop and check out the range. We'll match you to the right bike that suits your riding style and makes you excited to push off on the pedal - every time. Buy a Genesis and you're not buying into trends. You're buying a bike you'll still love and can rely on in ten years.
If you like a bike that feels alive from the momen If you like a bike that feels alive from the moment you push off, you’ll love our BH Bikes range. They’ve been building performance bikes for over a century, and you can feel that racing DNA straight away; light frames, sharp handling, and loads of smart tech that makes riding feel smoother and faster. BH bikes make you want to push a bit harder and stay out a bit longer. Whether you’re getting into faster road rides, trying gravel, or just want something that feels modern and responsive, we know you'll love this range just as much as we do. What we love about BH Bikes: They sit in a rare sweet spot: race-proven engineering without the eye-watering price tags of the big names. BH have won the Vuelta a España seven times, that same obsession with performance is built into every frame they make. You get proper carbon construction, smart geometry, and tech that bigger brands charge significantly more for. We only stock bikes we'd ride ourselves (and we do!) and we'll always match you and your riding style to the bike that feels like it was built specifically for you. Pop in and take a look for yourself, maybe even a little spin around the car park. You'll feel the difference straight away. #bikeshop #cycling #bhbikes

Ladies, we're talking to you… "Why does my bike Ladies, we're talking to you... "Why does my bike feel so uncomfortable?" - You'd be surprised how often we hear this from women riders. The answer is almost always the same. It's not you. It's the bike. Most bikes straight off the shelf are designed around a male body. So if you've been putting up with an aching back, tense shoulders, or numb hands and just assumed that's part of cycling, it really doesn't have to be. Men and women are built differently, and your bike should reflect that. A bike set up for a man - even a good one, can put you in a position that's working against your body. Over a short ride, that's uncomfortable. Over time, it puts you off cycling altogether. And that's the last thing we want. So here's what we can do to help: Source the right bike for you - we'll have a conversation about how you ride, where you ride, and what your body needs, then find something that actually fits Fit and adjust what you already have - sometimes a saddle change or a small tweak to the handlebar height makes a big difference. Modify and upgrade - we're engineers. If your bike is close but not quite right, put us to work on it You shouldn't have to fight your bike to enjoy riding it. A proper fit is so essential for any woman (or man) who loves cycling and we promise you'll notice the difference from the very first ride. Come in for a chat if you're uncomfortable after your bike ride. Let's fix that. #PickeringsBikes #WomenWhoRide #WomenCycling #BikeFit #CyclingWomen #GetOnYourBike #SouthDerbyshire #NationalForest #WomenInCycling #LocalBikeShop
We started Pickering's Bikes because we genuinely We started Pickering's Bikes because we genuinely believe that more people on bikes makes life better. Better for your health, better for your head, and just a lot more fun. That's it really. That's why we do this. We're not a big chain. We're not chasing targets. We're two blokes (Father and Son) in a workshop in Woodville who love solving problems, who'll always be straight with you about what your bike actually needs, and who'll never talk you into spending money you don't need to spend. We're engineers and passionate cyclists - not salesmen. A few things we're quietly proud of: 🚲We're launching maintenance courses soon - because a rider who understands their bike is a more confident rider. Simple as that. 🚲Something big is coming on the recycling and donation front - we'll share more very soon, but if you've got a bike sitting unloved in the garage, keep your eye out for an update 🚲We're slap bang in the heart of the National Forest with incredible trails on our doorstep - and we think bikes and the outdoors belong together. 🚲We'll only ever stock brands we truly believe in. We know bikes and gear inside and out, if it's not good enough for us - it's definitely not good enough for you. If you haven't met us yet, call in and see what we're all about. Whether you're a seasoned rider or just enjoy a Sunday spin with the family, you'll always get a warm welcome here. We'd love to meet more local cyclists!

We've spent years not just riding bikes but really We've spent years not just riding bikes but really understanding how they work. With our engineering background, it means when someone comes to us for a custom wheel build, we're thinking about how you ride, what you're riding on, and what's actually going to make a difference - not just putting parts together. We build for all kinds of bikes and all kinds of riders. Road, gravel, MTB, ebike - rim or disc. Every spoke tensioned, every component chosen careful consideration behind it. If you've been thinking about it, just come in or give us a ring. We'll have an honest chat, figure out what you actually need, and go from there. No jargon, no unnecessary upselling. Just a wheel built properly, for the way you ride. 📞 07458 304859 #handbuiltwheels #custombuild #wheelbuilding #cycling #roadbike #gravelbike #mtb #ebike #bikeshop #pickeringsbikes
Your helmet takes a beating so your head doesn't! Your helmet takes a beating so your head doesn't! But over time, through crashes, sweat, UV exposure and general wear, it loses its ability to protect you. As a general rule of thumb, you should replace your helmet every 3–5 years, and immediately after any significant impact, even if it looks fine on the outside. The damage you can't see is the damage that matters. A well-fitting, well-maintained helmet is one of the simplest things you can do for your safety on the bike. Don't wait until it's obviously worn out - by then, it may already have let you down when you needed it most. 🚴 Ride hard. Stay safe. Know when to replace your kit. How old is your helmet? #cycling #cyclist #bikesafety #helmet #cyclinglife #roadcycling #mtb #cyclingcommunity
