Handover Day.

Dreams really do come true.

Today we officially take handover of our new partnership with Giant.

We’d like to thank Ian, Kieran, Max and the whole Giant team for their confidence and support as we begin this exciting new chapter together.

To Jon from Whiterooms and his team, thank you, it was a pleasure to have you on site. To Rob for turning up today for our handover, it was amazing to see you. I did hold back the tears!

What does this mean for our customers?
• We’re still owned and operated by the same team as Summertown Cycles
• We’ll continue to service all major bike brands
• Our focus remains helping every rider — from commuters to racers to family cyclists
• This partnership allows us to create an even better customer experience and expand our bike range

Behind the new look, we’re still the same local bike shop you know and trust — now with even more to offer.

We look forward to welcoming all our existing customers, and many new ones, to Giant Oxford 🚴

Big news from Summertown Cycles

We’re incredibly proud to be partnering with Giant as we become Giant Oxford! This collaboration means a bigger and better range of bikes across all disciplines, backed by one of the world’s leading cycling brands.

What hasn’t changed? We’re still privately owned, with the same friendly team and our fantastic workshop with three experienced technicians ready to keep you rolling.

Behind the scenes, we’re the same business you know and trust—just with more to offer our customers.

What’s not to like?

🚪 Front of house closed: Saturday 9th May – Monday 24th May (2 weeks). We re-open on Tuesday 25th May.

🔧 Workshop remains open for bookings throughout

We’ll still have staff on site Monday to Friday during this time, so if you need advice or support, we’re here for you.

We can’t wait to welcome you to our new home—hope you’re as excited as we are!

Great turnout at our latest Summertown Cycles Workshop — and what a fantastic session it was!

It was brilliant to see so many of you getting hands-on, building confidence, and really gearing up your maintenance skills. From puncture repairs to safety checks, everyone got stuck in and made real progress.

A big thank you to all who attended — the energy in the workshop kept things rolling smoothly from start to finish. We hope you’ve all ridden away feeling more confident and ready to tackle any issues that come your way.

If you missed this one, don’t worry — we’ll be running more sessions soon, so drop us a email at [email protected]

Summertown Cycles Introductory Maintenance Workshop

Want to feel more confident looking after your bike? We’re running a relaxed, hands-on workshop Sunday 12 April at 1100am to 12.30pm.

Using our equipment and our bikes, you will have a chance to practise useful mechanical skills with one of our experienced mechanics on hand to guide and answer your questions.

You will learn by watching, listening, and having a go yourself!

By the end of this course you will be able to:
● Make a safety check prior to riding.
● Repair a puncture.
● Clean and lubricate your bike.
● Make simple brake adjustments.
● Talk about your bike using proper terminology so that you can speak with confidence in any bike shop.

We’d love to see you, to book your place please email [email protected] tickets cost £15 per person and include coffee/tea/biscuits.
