Leisure Lakes Bikes: family-run bike shop with 20 UK stores

Shopping at Leisure Lakes Bikes? See all current Leisure Lakes Bikes discount codes and deals, checked regularly.

Leisure Lakes Bikes started in 1981 as a small windsurfing business run by brothers Tim and Chris Noy at Leisure Lakes, between Preston and Southport. When the wind dropped, people went cycling instead, and the brothers started selling bikes. It's still family-run, with 20 stores stretching from York and Leeds down to Southampton and Newport, plus a big online shop.

It suits most riders: trail and enduro mountain bikers, road and gravel riders, commuters after a hybrid or e-bike, and parents buying a first balance bike. You'll find brands such as Specialized, Trek, Cube, Whyte, Santa Cruz, Orbea and Marin, along with clothing, helmets, parts and workshop servicing in every store. Bikes bought online are boxed by a Cytech-qualified mechanic and come with a tool kit, so all you have to do is straighten the bars and fit the pedals.

For a first proper mountain bike, the Cube Aim Pro at £599 has a 100mm suspension fork, Shimano Cues 1x11 gearing and hydraulic disc brakes. If you're stocking up for winter, the sale has cut the Endura MT500 Spray Trouser from £134.99 to £49.99.

Parents of small children should look at the Specialized Hotwalk, a 12-inch balance bike with a low aluminium frame and airless tyres that can't go flat. It's £149. Further up the range, the Marin San Quentin 1 at £849 is a trail hardtail with a longer, slacker frame for rougher ground. If you're not sure about sizing, the stores can help, and many run demo bikes and demo days so you can try before you buy. There's also a Second Hand & Ex-Demo section online, worth checking before you pay full price for a new bike.
