ABOUT VELO BAVARIAN
Velo Bavarian, situated in Milford, Derbyshire, is a bike shop with some of the biggest cycling brands from around the world.
We take pride in every bike we build and service, and are proud to offer a personal and friendly service to the local cycling community and beyond.
We have a huge variety of bikes, components and accessories for your bike as well as quality clothing, shoes and helmets to chose from. All of the brands we stock are tried and tested and ultimately as cyclists, get us excited! Whatever brand you may buy from us has been carefully selected and has our full backing. If we do not have what you’re looking for we will do our utmost to source it, as building long-lasting relationships is at the heart of what we do.
If you buy a bike from us, we will endeavour to ensure that you have picked the perfect bike to fit your needs, and this comes from a genuine desire to help people enjoy riding their bike. Whether you are new to the sport or a lifetime cyclist looking to improve; we are here to help.
Our desire to help the local community stretches beyond just servicing and sales; we have growing social rides including ‘ladies only’ rides, all of which regularly see fantastic turnouts. We now have over 75 VB members. If you want to learn more about our membership perks, click here.
