Located in the picturesque village of Staveley, the UK’s largest cycle store is only 15 minutes’ drive from the M6 motorway and 10 minutes from Windermere. With over 600 bikes on display in store, spread across our massive 16,000 sq. ft. premises, we have dedicated areas for Road, MTB, E-Bike, Women, Kids and everything in between. Our staff are all passionate cyclists, specialising in a variety of disciplines, united by a love of all things two wheels. We currently stock bikes from; Brompton, Cannondale, Cervelo, Cube, Frog Bikes, Genesis, Merida, Orbea, Riese & Muller, Scott, Trek, Whyte, Wild Bikes and Yeti.

Based in Staveley Mill Yard, we’re a true destination store for your next visit to the Lake District. On our doorstep we have Wilf’s Café – with a great selection of cakes and lunches and More? Bakery – for freshly baked goods and great coffee. The Eagle and Child bed and breakfast Inn, run by an avid mountain biker, has rooms if you’re staying for the weekend and offers great pub grub and a selection of local ales.

Our precision fit team offer a professional bike fitting service in store, tailored to suit your riding. We run a fully equipped workshop and our team of qualified mechanics are on hand to offer advice and servicing as your bicycle requires. Our friendly team are always happy to offer advice on local routes, with superb Lakeland trails, leisure and road riding straight from our store – PedalNorth has a great selection of routes, including our go-to ride around the Kentmere Valley.

There is a great community of cyclists here in the Lake District and we run and participate in many local events throughout the year – including our annual MTB Demo weekend in Spring.

Can’t recommend James enough, he was mega patient with me whilst making my decision on a new bike, I was spending more than I ever have on a bike and he explained the pros and cons of each model. Further helped by fitting my cushcores and having the bike invisiframe protected and also took the time on collection to get the bike set up for me. Top service, even though I traveled from Scotland to buy my bike I would 100% come back for my next one.

Wheelbase Ilkley has firmly become my preferred local bike shop. The team are not only highly knowledgeable, but also genuinely friendly, helpful, and patient — nothing ever feels like too much trouble. The workshop staff, in particular, really stand out. They understand that customers have a close relationship with their bikes (just as they do themselves), and they treat them with the same care and respect. Repairs and servicing are carried out efficiently to minimise downtime, and they always take the time to explain the work they’ve done. That level of transparency and education isn’t the norm, and it’s hugely appreciated. On the retail side, I’m more than happy to travel to the store and even pay a small premium over buying online because the service, expertise, and aftercare are genuinely superior. It’s rare to find a shop that delivers such consistently high standards across the board. — Richard (Cube Agree & Ribble Ti)

Great service from Wheelbase, ordered an Amflow PL carbon, received a curtesy call from the Ilkley store to arrange delivery, this gave me a chance to ask a few questions, they were very helpful and polite. Bike arrived quickly and was very well packaged, everything assembled super easily and everything worked perfectly thanks to the store pre assembly and checks by the professional mechanic. Highly recommended and would definitely buy from here again, many thanks!

I recently purchased a Whyte ELyte from Wheelbase. They couldn’t have been more helpful with my enquiry and questions. Delivered the bike on the day requested which was very well packaged. I always enjoy dropping into their stores when I’m away riding.

I had an electric bike that had stopped working. I knew the motor and computer on the handle bar both worked fine as I could swap them over to another bike to check. Any way Liam managed to find the culprit ( wire misplaced in the controller). highly recommend !!!

Number 1 like any business it’s only as good as the people! Great service from a great team especially Mik the Master Technical Guru in the workshop & Jonny the Super Sales Guy in the shop. All the guys are really great & really helpful these two just set the standard! Sell really nice products but to sustain the business needs to next level its digital offering!

Picked up my new e- mountain bike yesterday. Cycling has changed a LOT since I last purchased a bike, and Max answered all my numerous questions and queries, as well setting up the bike for me. Great service, thank you.
