OUR
STORY
“Cadence may not be my closest bike shop, but it’s my favourite. Time and again it’s been Will, Jonny and the team at Cadence who I’ve turned to for my biking needs.”
We're more than just a bike shop. Our customers love us, because our passion for cycling and all things bike sits at the heart of the shop.
We have been open since January 2010 and 12 years on we are still as passionate about cycling as the day we opened our doors.
We have dedicated staff at Cadence, with something over 100 collective years experience between us in almost every conceivable area of cycling we’d like to think we’ve got it covered. Importantly we all support each other and work well together as a team.
