Our Story
Born On The Trail.
Behind Bars Cycles has been a fixture of the UK MTB scene since 1986. We're not a chain. We're not a warehouse. We're riders who happen to run a shop.

How We Do Things
Built To Ride
Every bike we sell is set up properly before it leaves the shop. Cables tensioned, suspension set to your weight, tyres at the right pressure. Not boxed. Ridden.
Trail Knowledge
We ride the same trails you do. Ask us about local singletrack, trail centres, or where to find the best mud in winter. We've got opinions.
Proper Workshop
Full workshop on site. Wheel builds, drivetrain overhauls, custom builds from scratch. Booked in or walk-in for quick fixes.
Community First
Sunday group rides, trail days, and a shop floor that's always open for a chat. We're a shop, but we're also your local riding crew.
Come And See Us
We're in Shoreditch, five minutes from the canal. Bring your bike in for a chat, a service, or just to argue about tyre width.
