All about Keswick Bikes

All about Keswick Bikes

Keswick Bikes (a.k.a. K.M.B) was born back in the heady summer of '92 by Amos Doron and Andy Prestwich who still head up the business today. We have 3 specialist Lake District locations (all in Keswick) with a massive bike brand portfolio including: Kona, Specialized, Merida, Giant & Trek, Cannondale and also custom build options from Nicolai, Yeti, Cotic, Pace & Cervelo.

We offer expert, impartial advice and make sure our customers get exactly the right bike for their kind of riding. We know how important it is to get it right ..!

As bike nuts ourselves we make full use of our own experience of what works - as well and where to use it - and we love passing on this information, and our enthusiasm, to our customers.

Keswick is a truly brilliant place for both mountain AND road bikers - we're a broad church here at Keswick Bikes. We're surrounded by awesome riding and which is the reason that brought, and keeps, us all here.

We like to put something back and another good reason to support an Independent Bike Shop like us is that we donate a percentage of our profits to 'Fix the Fells' keyed into local Bridleway repairs as well as supporting our local race team - Team KeswickBikes.co.uk, and numerous local events and clubs.

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 all around us and the Altura Trail at Whinlatter we have a demo (and hire) fleet so that you can try your next bike in real World conditions before you buy.

Our Shimano Service Centre accredited Workshops (located at Southey Hill in Keswick) is also an accredited Hayes Super Centre, Magura Passion Point and Marzocchi Service Centre. So whether you are visiting Weekend Warrior, a Downhill Demon, a Coast to Coaster, a Roadie Pass Basher or an Avid Local, whatever your servicing needs are Keswick Bikes will keep you rolling.

Group rides leave from outside the Lakeland Pedlar every Tuesday evening @ 6.30pm all year round and the KGB (Keswick Girlie Bikers) ride out on Wednesday evenings @ 6:30pm also leaving from outside the Lakeland Pedlar.

Matthew Bardgett

Matthew Bardgett

Something of an unique spanner, a man that brings countless enthusiasm to every area of the business, whether fixing a bike or riding a fixy. Owns some very flash bikes but always seems to ride clapped out, rigid, single speed Kona from a previous century! What is going on you ask?

Alex Gibson - Possibly the Happiest Man on Earth

Alex Gibson - Possibly the Happiest Man on Earth

Alex brings a wealth of knowledge from both the outdoors and many years as YHA Warden in the Lakes to Keswick Bikes. The shop just wouldnt be the same without him!

Just don't be too surprised if he asks you "Do a Chore" before leaving with your goodies ..!

Eugene (Lakeland Pedlar Store Manager) & Donald (Keswick Bikes IT, Sales, Mountain Rescue Team Member) relaxing on the shores of Derwentwater after another hard day at the office ..!Don't be deceived by their relaxed nature as behind the scenes, these guys bring a wealth of knowledge to the KMB team.

Fraser Robinson

Fraser Robinson

Our Part Timer with a difference, in a previous life, Fraser was a Head of Department in education , who although now retired, has chosen to accept the challenges of servitude at Pedlar Towers. His depth of knowledge and unfathomable patience have gained him a very loyal following, although some say that keeping up with him when on a bicycle may present certain challenges!!

Alistair Robinson

Alistair Robinson

Generally appears at KMB when he is broke and needs to replenish his depleted coffers.This is a great opportunity for KMB, however as he competes at the very highest level of UK road racing (hence his continued poverty) and has a superb grasp of the latest products and innovations. Obviously his grasp of fitness & training gives him a great knowledge & understanding of cycling at a high level which always willingly shares with KMB customers.

Darren Murray

Darren Murray

Got a question about your bike? Chances are he'll know the answer. Darren has been involved in every aspect of the cycle trade for a very long time. An encyclopedic knowledge of all mechanical things bicycle invariably means we and our customers are always pestering him for information. Oh yes, also a very nice man and an exceptional cycle mechanic, knew I had forgotten to mention something!

Justin Grice

Justin Grice

Most folk call him 'J' but you can call him what you want..................riding god perhaps? He is a great mechanic, thorough, dependable, careful.......and with a depth of cycling knowledge that comes from years of riding road and mountain bikes at a level well above that of your average enthusiast!

Simon Panton

Simon Panton

Simon is the KMB Guru of Orders. He has the ability to find the most elusive cycling parts for our most demanding customers. His quiet and somewhat reserved nature means that most visitors do not realise his key role within KMB. Quiet waters run deep as they say, so we must assume Simon is very deep indeed. Who knows but what we do know is that KMB would not function half as effectively without his contribution.

Keswick Bikes: Founders and Owners

Are They Still There ..?

Are They Still There ..?

This is Amos on The Slab at Dalbeatie (and yes we've photoshopped the pic to make it look much steeper than it really is).

You would think he might have learnt by now, but learnt what ..?

Well either that mountain biking is dangerous OR how to ride one properly ..!

Amos & Andrew Business Owners

Amos & Andrew Business Owners

These two characters are largely responsible for Keswick Bikes surviving for nearly 20 years, or maybe that should read prospering?

Anyway, its all their fault ..!

March 1992 - A Long Long Time Ago

March 1992 - A Long Long Time Ago

Lets see now.............................KMB was started in March 1992....................which means this is what can happen to some one after twenty years of being self employed...........pretty scary!
