Great!

So glad I came across The Bike Exchange. Saw a bike on the website that ticked all the boxes and called to arrange a viewing. The bike was like new so no hesitation in buying. Dan was great too . A very happy customer - many thanks!

Part-exchanging our bike

My wife located this business on the internet. Listings of their bicycles was clear by description and photos. We phoned to ask to see a particular one. Dan, the owner, was helpful in offering us a slot the next day.
His place in Ashington was easy to find. The bike on offer was clean and working fine (except for a brake which squeaked - before he cured it on the spot).

Dan offered us a sensible exchange price for our existing bike and we did a deal. Invoice and warranty followed by email.

Very helpful throughout the process

Gave good sensible advice which was specific to my circumstance- rather than pushing a specific model. Good range of bikes at good variety of prices and explained the pros and cons to a cycling novice (me).

Great local bike company!

Dan had great communication, a professional helpful service - an easy buying process. I have already recommended this company to friends. Excellent range of all types of bike in stock. Will return when I feel like another bike!

Great company

Great company - I contacted the bicycle exchange to get a valuation on my bike - Dan quickly quoted a sale and part exchange price and also said I may get more money if I sold the bike privately which was very honest.
Had a look at their stock found a bike that looked perfect for me and Dan arranged a viewing and the sale was completed without any hassle. I would definitely recommend

Excellent service

Excellent service, Dan was accommodating with appointments, the bike I purchased is exactly as described, and I'm very happy with it. I would definitely recommend The Bicycle Exchange to others, and may very well look there again next time I wish to upgrade, looking forward to getting some good use out of my new bike.

Superb used bike range and customer service

I was struggling with a road bike one size too small for me. I was looking to swap it with something very similar but the next size up. From the excellent photos on the Bicycle Exchange website I spotted something that I thought would be ideal for me size-wise. I messaged Dan to come down and see the bike. It was indeed perfect for me, and he made the exchange a very smooth and satisfying experience. I spotted my old bike in one of his recent promo shots! I adore the new bike and did the London to Brighton ride on it a few weeks later. Thanks Dan. If I can find space for more bikes I'll be back!!!

Great bike and service

Dan was super-helpful in arranging to view and ride the bike on a Sunday morning. The bike is great. Plus, it's reassuring to know it's been serviced and there's a three-month warranty.

Excellent service.

Dan was a very pleasant chap to do business with. The bike I bought from him was very reasonably priced and advertised in a clear and accurate way. It was in very clean condition (as new apart from a few minor scratches that had been clearly described) and had been serviced. Pick up went smoothly with no problems. 3 month warranty given. I have no hesitation in recommending buying a bike from Dan.
