Cycle Hire, Shops & Cafes Around Harrogate District

You'll find a fantastic range of bike shops around Harrogate, catering to families, moutain biking and road cycling.  Cycling is at the heart of the outdoor activities available in Yorkshire, especially since the Tour De France visited us in 2014.

We are also blessed with some great cycle hire companies who can offer route advice and even guiding.

Whether as a pit stop along your ride, for vital repair or parts, or to browse or test ride new bikes & models, the cycle shops of the Harrogate District have you covered. 

With a wide range of the newest models and staff who know, ride and live the latest cycling developments you’ll find the best advice behind the counter and a Yorkshire welcome for all who visit.

Cytech qualified workshop staff will do all they can to get you back on the road or trails and make sure you get the most from your riding holiday, be it a service, repair or just advice.

If you just decide you’d like to enjoy a bike ride while you’re here, or can’t fit bikes in with all your luggage, then you can hire one locally for a day in the saddle.  Cycle hire shops around harrogate offer road bikes, mountains bikes, and for comfort hybrid bikes are a great compromise.

Who better to get route advice from than the locals, get tips on the best climbs on road, best descents off-road, the best way to see the area and the best café to get cake after your ride.  The LBS (Local Bike Shop) is alive and well in Harrogate District. 

Cycle guides offer something even better, a day in the saddle with someone else taking care of navigiation and route choice.  All you have to do is get on the bike and ride!

The mid-ride café is an intrinsic part of any ride in the Yorkshire Dales.  It’s the destination or the excuse for blocking off a whole afternoon to spend on the bike, great coffee and delicious cake that will fuel the return journey along fell and dale.  Somewhere to prop the wheels and rest the legs, to admire the day and talk yourselves into the long way back over delicious local treats.

The great cycle hire, shops and cafés of Harrogate, Ripon, Wetherby and Nidderdale are complimented by some fantastic riding, from long routes including two 2014 Tour de France stages, to short thrilling off road routes and the UK’s most technical trail centre.  There’s also great cycle friendly accommodation where you can rest your head and start dreaming about tomorrow’s ride.
