Retirement sale - make us an offer on our best British vintage bicycles
We want to inform you we are closing from 31 January 2024. We are selling off all our bikes as we prepare for the next chapter of our lives. Thank you for joining us on this journey. We hope your vintage bikes continue to bring you joy for many years to come. It’s been a real pleasure. We now desire the freedom to explore more and will continue to post our adventures on Instagram @glorydaysbikes
Great rides start with a great bike. Our bicycles reflect the passion and craftsmanship of the traditional frame builders of the 1970s and 80s. These machines represent cutting edge technology of the day and are brilliant fun!

Our bicycles have been searched out and carefully chosen. Following a complete overhaul and service they are then given a test ride before being available to hire. We only offer the best, most reliable bikes in our stock.
It is all about ride quality and comfort, a steel frame is like a very strong steel spring. It absorbs a certain amount of road shock and when the rider makes a sudden effort it has just the right amount of give, but at the same time quickly transfers the rider’s energy directly to the rear wheel.
We only offer quality bikes that we’d be happy to ride ourselves. Fully serviced and safety checked, you can rest assured they really are safe as houses.
EVENTS
We can provide your perfect bicycle for these vintage bike events
All our frames are steel tubing and of British manufacture. Our good bicycles have names like Carlton, Dawes, Holdsworth and Raleigh. Our really good bicycles have even more boring names like Allin and Harry Hall. All have a unique history, meet our strict criteria and are Eroica compliant. They are both useful and beautiful. Take a closer look.
You’ll be riding with one of our local experts, full of knowledge and guaranteed to please on these specially selected routes. We love where we live and love where we ride and look forward to sharing our favourite rides with you.
We take care of everything you need, reliable retro bikes, refreshments, repair kits and routes – you name it. You just need to turn up and we’ll do the rest.
We must have ridden these routes over a hundred times. We’ve carefully planned out every detail – you’re in safe hands.
