Bike shops en route to the lakes

Heading up north from the south coast …A34, M42,,M40-M6

For the Fred Whitton on Sunday..

I wouldn’t mind buying a new cycling top for the event… Have tried all my local shops but nothing I like.

So does anyone know of any really good cycle shops near to any of the above route..with a good stock of clothing.?

Wheelbase in Staveley at the end of Kendal bypass has a lot of stuff!

Go and see Keith in Biketreks in Ambleside.

Wheelbase is your first decent shop, but Keith in Biketreks Ambleside)is probably the best informed bikey clothing geek in the country, makes a mean coffee too.. 😉 (good luck on the fred)

Wheelbase
Evans in Kendal
Keswick Mountain Bikes(KMB) in Keswick.
Cyclewise up at Whinlatter
Aragon in Penrith

Leisure Lakes and the Edge in Lancaster worth a try before hitting the Cumbrian outlets.

Oh and you are going to suffer

Merlin as you can look online first just off the leyland junction

There’s also Ribble Cycles just off the M6 near Preston but you’ll need satnav as it’s difficult to find, you have to check online because like Merlin it’s a warehouse type place.

are you going to be here before 5? if so go to and register at coniston and buy a castelli fred whitton jersey thats my plan this afternoon.
PS good luck
Oh and go and see Keith anyway ha ha 😀
