About Us

Wheelbase is built around a shared love of riding bikes. With roots in the Lake District and more than 25 years in cycling, we’ve grown into one of the UK’s largest cycle retailers, with stores in Staveley, Darlington and Ilkley and an online shop serving riders across the country.

Our business is full of cyclists, with experience spanning road racing, mountain biking, gravel adventures, commuting and family rides. That experience shapes the advice we give and the welcome you’ll find in our stores. Whether you’re choosing your first bike or preparing for your next challenge, we enjoy helping you get more from your riding.

We’re also proud to give back to the sport and the communities around us. From our longstanding title sponsorship of the Fred Whitton Challenge to local club partnerships, charity rides and demo events, we put our connections, experience and practical support to work for fellow cyclists.

Racing has been part of the Wheelbase story for more than 20 years through our support for Wheelbase Cabtech Castelli. We’re equally excited about the future of our downhill team, backing riders as they develop and represent Wheelbase on the UK racing scene.
