WHEELBASE, home of the UK’s largest cycle store in the Lake District National Park has been at the forefront of the bicycle industry for over 25 years. Living and breathing bikes, they’ve successfully built up their business across the North of England with stores in Cumbria, Yorkshire and the North East. As Wheelbase continues to expand it’s rather fitting that they’ve now opened a flagship store in Coventry, a city which can boast a major bicycle manufacturing history.
More than 100 years ago the city of Coventry was regarded as the home of the British cycle industry and for a significant period of time produced more bicycles than anywhere else in the world, bringing affordable bicycles to the masses as part of the original ‘cycling revolution’. The UK has seen a similar boom in the popularity of cycling in more recent times with an increasing amount of people making the move from public and private motor transport over to greener pedal-powered options while a rapid growth in technology has also seen the e-bike offer a more accessible route into cycling without some of the potential physical-fitness barriers typically associated with cycling.
Wheelbase Coventry offer customers a large and diverse range of premium bikes with over 200 bikes on the shop floor including mountain bikes, road bikes, gravel and adventure bikes, leisure, commute and family bikes from the best brands available. Wheelbase Coventry’s electric bike range is huge with electric road, mountain, and leisure bikes from the leading e-bike brands; their dedicated team are ready to equip you with everything you’ll need to travel more efficiently around Coventry and beyond by e-bike.
As well as providing expert sales advice and guidance for all disciplines of cycling Wheelbase Coventry can support you with the maintenance of your bicycle; whether it’s a simple puncture repair or a full bike service including suspension tuning and hydraulic brake bleeding they’ll be able to help you with their state-of-the-art Park Tool equipped workshop.
Wheelbase Coventry is part of an exciting new shopping experience within the Coventry Go Outdoors Mega Store, the Wheelbase ‘shop within a shop’ sits alongside other specialist retailers, each with their own dedicated retail space.
