The checkout
 
To start the checkout process you must be in the shopping basket.

Click on the checkout button.

The first stage is to select where you want your purchases delivered. Click on the map to select.

The second stage is to select a retail partner (except Ireland) by entering the delivery postcode and clicking ok. This allows you to create a retail partner who can advise on any warranty issues should they arise. Once the list of possible dealers has appeared click on details. From here click select to choose this dealer as your retail partner.

Choosing a delivery option
 
You will need to enter the name of the person receiving or collecting the bike at this stage and the address if you are having home delivery. Then click on the appropriate button to select your preferred delivery option.

You will now need to confirm your billing address. Your billing address must match the address to which your credit/debit card is registered. Click on confirm to move to the next stage.

We ask for a telephone number should we or your retail partner need to contact you (for example to tell you your bike is ready). We also ask for your email address to send your order and payment confirmation.

Direct Home Delivery Or Collect In Store

We do 2 types of delivery
  • Direct home delivery - Direct home delivery means your purchases will be sent direct to your door. If you choose to receive a bike using this method please note it will not be fully assembled. You will be responsible for assembling, and safety checking your bike. (click here for assembly instructions)
  • Collect in store - You may not want to assemble your bike and check it for safety. We have a network of independent cycle shops across the country who are experts at setting up bikes. The professionals there will assemble your bike, check it and make sure it is set up, safe and ready to ride. All free of charge. When your bike is ready the store will contact you, on the email address or telephone number you have provided, to arrange a convenient time for you to come in and collect your purchases. For security reasons you must bring along your order confirmation before the retailer will let you take your purchases. The retailer will either stamp or give you a dated receipt to acknowledge that your purchases have been collected. If you are unable to print off the confirmation you will be required to take the order number along with proof of identification.

Confirming your order

This is the last screen before payment, and your last chance to go back and make changes to your order. Click on proceed to payment to go to our secure payment site.

Final confirmation

If your payment is successful, you will be redirected to the on screen order confirmation. You will also be sent a copy via email. At this stage you will be given a unique order number which you will need for any correspondence with us. If you selected collect in store you will need your order confirmation when you pick up your purchases. You can either print out the order confirmation page or the email you receive.
