Bike Shops

Whether you're new to bikes or you just need to update your equipment, you'll need to find somewhere that stocks all the stuff you need to enjoy a safe and comfortable ride.

Of course, you can always borrow stuff off friends or family to start with but once you start riding more regularly its nice to have equipment suited to your size and shape. You don't have to spend a fortune on expensive cycling clothing, but the bare essentials tend to be a good fitting cycle helmet and some kind of wind/waterproof light-weight jackets. Other than that your normal everyday clothing is absolutely fine... wear whatever makes you feel the most comfortable, but make sure it won't get caught in your spokes or pedals!

The good news is, there are lots of bike shops and repair centres across Southend and the surrounding area. Below are just a few to get you started. Many of these bike shops also offer discounts to Cycle Southend members. To check out which ones have offers, join Cycle Southend today!
