Written by the company

The Bicycle Lounge concept has always been the main vision for Matt Middleton (Owner) “My aim is to provide everything to do with the bicycle, from advice, bike fitting, components and clothing, to repairing a puncture on a Monday morning.” After working in the family business for over 20 years (Harry Middleton Cycles) Matt decided to set up The Bicycle Lounge in 2012, he wanted to give cyclists the best selection of products, the best value and the best service in the industry, fuelled by the need to give every customer that personal touch and experience, which we feel here at The Bicycle Lounge the industry has been missing.

Excellent service - trustworthy

I'm new to road cycling and just bought a new racing bike from The Bicycle Lounge. Matt, Howie and Sean were really helpful and friendly, and got me up and running with a perfect fitting bike.
Thankyou

Excellent customer service

For me how effectively a company puts things right is a key indicator of how good they are. I ordered a couple of items - one of which wasn’t quite as I had ordered it. (A genuine mistake) I sent an email when I got home from work and they responded instantly - putting it right. Really great customer service. Would definitely recommend.

First Class Experience

First class experience with the Bicycle Lounge, neat family run business and as I always find it’s more personal and thorough.

Bespoke fit service, relaxed and friendly with some good helpful advice too.

An exceptional bike is also a given

Thanks to Matt and his team.

Best wishes

Great service !!

Bought two Pinarellos after riding two Orbeas for 15 years. Service from Matt and his team was great including complementary bike fit which was invaluable . Managed to do 75 mile Bakewell sportive without any joint problems so well worth the investment.

Just Awesome!

Bought an Orro Terra C 105 Di2 from Matt at the beginning of August through the company’s Cycle 2 Work scheme after being referred by a friend. From the first comms by email, Matt could not have been anymore helpful. When I collected the bike Matt couldn’t do the fitting but organised a later date for me to come back. Having ridden the bike a few times, Matt listened to my feedback, did the fitting and adjusted the bike in line with the assessment and my comments. What a difference those few small adjustments have made.
Matt’s professional & friendly approach and the way his team welcome you into a pristine well appointed shop is nothing short of brilliant! I’ve already passed on the recommendation my friend made to me to others who enjoy bikes & cycling as it’s obvious that that’s what Matt & the Bicycle Lounge love to!

Cheers,

Brian

Pinarello F5 - Dream Bike

Just purchased my new Pinarello bike from The Bicycle Lounge. I was so impressed with the professionalism of Matt and his team. Their service was exemplary. Their honesty in advising which bike was best for my needs, really helped me make the right purchase. The bike fit is perfect and am so impressed with how it rides and handles. I would definitely recommend this store.

A+ Experience

A+ experience when it came to these guys and their knowledge of road bikes helping you select the right one.
Included was the Bike Fit so you know as you leave, no adjustment necessary straight on the road if you wish. That’s why people travel hundreds of miles to visit this store.

Great Pinarello Bikes with Great Service

I purchased Pinarello Prince Di2 from Matt and the team.

An all round top class service and experience from initial advice and guidance from Matt about frame size prior to ordering, the bike fit service on collection day and post purchase service/advice.

The Pinarello Prince Di2 is a excellent ride experience and delighted with it.

I travelled from the Highlands of Scotland to the Bicycle Lounge store in Ormskirk, Lancashire and would have no hesitation doing again for my next bike purchase due to the excellent service and customer experience and great quality bikes.

The selection of bikes on display in store is not like any other shop i've ever been in. All the staff i dealt with were great and couldn't do enough to help. Everything about buying a bike from The Bicycle Lounge was a great experiance from start to finish, couldn't recommend them highly enough

Perfect experience

I very rarely write reviews but the quality of service I received from Matt and the team at The Bicycle Lounge warrants an absolute 5* one.

From the outset no request (and there were many!) was too much trouble and when I picked up my bike the attention to detail in getting it set up perfectly for me was nothing short of first class.

The professionalism, customer care and friendly approach shone through, The Bicycle Lounge is the perfect example of how to do things the right way.

Not every day you buy a bike, Bike Lounge were fantastic!

Absolutely fantastic experience with Matt at the Bicycle Lounge, glad I called in!! Told Matt what I was looking for and budget and he talked me through the options with no hard sell on any particular brand. He made some recommendations and I ended up going for the Pinarello Prince which I love. Matt told me about the forthcoming promotion on the Pinarello and whilst it wasn’t live at the time put it through together with the offer to upgrade the wheels which was too good to refuse.

The bike fit was great and Matt talked through the issues and options, really helpful and informative.

Overall a great buying experience and would not hesitate to recommend them or use them again. The customer service was second to none.

The Bicycle Lounge - a first-class experience!

Absolutely delighted with my new Pinarello X3 purchased from The Bicycle Lounge. Its magnificent and the difference between this and my old bike is too big to describe! The gear change is fantastic, the ride is quicker, saddle comfy, breaks responsive and the quality of carbon (to me) makes the ride seem smoother. Thank you Matt for your excellent support, knowledge and advice. In summary, brilliant bike and colour (keen red/black) and brilliant service and hospitality from all at The Bicycle Lounge!

The Bicycle Lounge

I have been a customer of the Bicycle Lounge on and off for about 20 years, from back when it was still (I think) Harry Middleton Cycles. Matt, Paul, and Sean always seem to have time to offer advice, whether you are looking for a small piece of kit, have a bike that needs a service, or are after something more exciting, like those shiny carbon wheels or the new bike that you ‘need’. It’s the contrast between this friendly and sensible advice from experienced and knowledgable cyclists that I always get at the Bicycle Lounge, and the (occasionally patronising) sales patter that I have experienced elsewhere, which keeps me coming back to the Bicycle Lounge. The new showroom upstairs is a great place to start the search for your next bike (as I did), and downstairs houses the kit and accessories, all of which can be seen and ordered on the website. Support your LBS.

Such a refreshing change to deal with…

Such a refreshing change to deal with knowledgeable staff. Matt and his team are a pleasure to buy from they listened & discussed all my needs, took all my measurements and came up with various suggestions. No pushiness at all.

I am delighted with my Pinarello and would highly recommend the Bicycle Lounge.

Probably the best bike shop in the country

From my first contact over the phone/email and walking into the shop and leaving with the bike was a pleasure. The whole experience went like a dream due to Matt his teams knowledge and excellent customer service. I cant thank them enough and the 430mile round trip from London was well worth it. Why cant every bike shop be like this?

Great Bike Fitting Service

Had a bike fit two weeks ago with Matt, really made me feel welcome and explained the process and reasons for the small changes he made clearly. Two weeks of riding it now and I've felt less fatigued and stronger on my long rides. Would definitely recommend 👍👍

What a great bike shop

I love me new Pinarello and it's all thanks to Matt and the team. If it hadn't have been for the expertise I received I would of had the completely wrong frame size. I live 175 miles from the shop but it was so worth the visit. Thanks to Matt's bike fit I now have more power and who doesn't want that.
