About K.M.B

About K.M.B

Keswick Bikes aka K.M.B was born in the heady summer of '92 by Amos Doron and Andy Prestwich who still head up the business today. K.M.B has 3 specialist Lake District locations (all in Keswick) with a massive bike brand portfolio that; Commencal, Kona, Specialized, Merida, Giant & Trek, with custom build options from Nicolai, Foes, Yeti, Merlin and Cove, Cotic & Cervelo.
We offer expert, impartial advice and make sure our customers get exactly the right bike for their kind of riding, because we know how important it is to get it right.
We are all bikers ourselves and really rider focused, making full use of our own experience of what works (and where to ride!) and passing this information on to our customers.

Keswick is a truly brilliant place for mountain & road bikers, surrounded by awesome riding and it's the reason that brought, and keeps, us all here.
We like to put something back and another good reason to support an IBD like us is we donate a percentage of our profits to 'Fix the Fells' keyed into local Bridleway repairs as well as supporting a local race team.

If you ever need route advice for riding in the Lake District just drop in to Otley Road and speak to any of our staff because if there's a Lakeland trail you want to ride it's likely they've already ridden it!
Given the great local natural riding and now the new Altura Trail at Whinlatter, we have a demo (and hire) fleet for folks to try their potential new bike in real conditions before they buy. There is also a refitted Shimano Service Centre down at the Southey Hill location that's also a Hayes Super Centre, Magura Passion Point and Marzocchi Service Centre which all helps to keep the Coast to Coasters, avid locals and visiting Weekend Warriors rolling.
We ride out every Tuesday evenings (6.30pm outside the Pedlar for group rides all year round and the KGB (Keswick Girlie Bikers) also ride out on Wednesday evenings.

We're looking forward to another season repeating the success of our sponsored race teams, where we've had KMB riders representing us, (and the UK), both at National and International level.

Are They still There?

This is Amos at Dalbeatie. You would think he might have learnt by now, but what? Well either that mountain biking is dangerous...OR how to ride a bike!

These two characters are largely responsible for KMB surviving for over 15 years, or maybe that should read prospering? Anyway, its all their fault!
