We are a social enterprise dedicated to getting more people cycling in Winchester

Founded by Heather Evans, we started fixing bikes back in 2012. Since then we've grown and we are now in our own shop in Kings Walk, Middle Brook Street in the centre of Winchester. We're open to the public Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday 09:00-16:30, and closed on Sunday, Monday & Thursday.

We fix bikes, we teach other people to fix bikes, we refurbish and sell old bikes, we organise rides, we hire out bikes, we sell useful accessories, and we're always ready to offer a bit of helpful advice on cycling. Come and see us!

    Perfect for groups, visitors, locals, students and commuters. We have an excellent range of bikes and some great deals.

  • Bikes for sale

    Donate a bike and give it a second home, we fix up old bikes and sell them on. We also give bikes to needy causes.

  • Bike servicing

    Let our qualified & experienced mechanics check and repair your bike, or take part in our mechanic workshops and learn to do it yourself!

Find us in the centre of Winchester

Our bike shop and workshop is located in Kings Walk, next to Sainsbury’s and Primark. We’re closed on Monday, Thursday and Sunday, but open 09:00 - 16:30 Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday.

Relax at The Handlebar Cafe

We also run The Handlebar Cafe located at the foot of St Catherine’s Hill, one of Winchester’s most popular walking spots. Our ethos here is to help people connect with each other and the beautiful natural environment. We serve coffee, tea, cold drinks and a wide range of hot and cold snacks.

We have a useful Fix-It station outside the cafe, providing access to bicycle tools and a pump 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

“I love running Bespoke Biking as cycling is such a good thing! Whilst some love the sport and the tours, for many it is simply a great way to get around. From youngsters to older folk and for those who don’t have a car, it helps fitness, helps you get around quicker than walking and carry more stuff if you need to! The simple pleasure of riding a bike, is a joy.”

— Heather Evans, Founder

Have a bike you’d like to donate?

We regularly receive kind donations from people who bring bikes they no longer need to us. We repair and refurbish these bikes so that they can be sold on, or donated to those in need.

If you have any bikes that you’d like to donate, please get in touch.
