Servicing at I Cycle

At I Cycle we believe in ONE price to service your bike.

We do not buy into the gold, silver and bronze philosophy.

We will service your bike as if it were our own pride and joy, carrying out what needs doing routinely.

If you want something extra, we can fully tailor your service to what ever you want. If you want every nut, bolt and bearing removing…. No problem. If you only want the tyres pumping up…. No problem.

If we discover any issues along the way we will get in touch and let YOU decide what to do.

You will not be faced with a surprise bill when you collect your bike. It is very important that you see us as open and honest throughout the process.
