About
Broadribb Cycles is a bike shop at 83-85 Sheep Street, the pedestrianised main street of Bicester, with a second shop in Banbury and a web shop run from the same business. The business, family run, says it was established in Oxford in 1919.
The showroom sells electric, road, mountain, gravel, folding and children's bikes, with clothing, helmets, accessories and spares. Brands it names include Cannondale, Whyte, Orange, Dawes and Merida, and its RE-Cycling scheme sells reconditioned used bikes. You can try bikes in the shop before you buy.
The workshop repairs and services bikes, and is set up for Shimano and SRAM electronic diagnostics, including Di2 set-ups. It can work on electric bikes where it has the maker's support, such as Bosch and Bafang. A bike bought fully built in the shop comes with a check after six weeks and a free safety check each January to March for five years.
Prices in the shop match the website for clothing, parts and accessories, and web orders can be collected free. The shop opens from 9am to 5pm on weekdays and from 9am to 1pm on Saturdays.
