Capital Cycles
Suit your Commute with your Capital Companion

This is really important to have on a bicycle which is at all valuable. Now even though your Capital Modern Dutch  hybrid bike cost under £140.00, it looks like it should have cost a lot more.  For this reason - make sure you insure it, and in order to do this, you will be asked to provide the bicycle serial number.
This unique number is written on the box that the bike comes in and more importantly is stamped on the frame, beneath where the seat meets the seat post tube.

Thanks,

This is just a very brief message to make sure you know that any order you make before 1pm will be despatched that very same day and sent by 24 hour courier on a ‘next working day’ service.

The only exception is with our genuine Dutch bikes - they take up to 7 days but that is because they come direct from Holland!

Feel safe buying online this Christmas and buy from a company that guarantees quick delivery, personal customer service and unbeatable value for money.

Thanks,

We are a very small business and in keeping with our intentions of being the UK’s most affordable bicycle shop we have always sold our bikes for close to what they cost and made a very small, sometimes zero % profit from each sale.
The prices you now see for our bikes have all been revised to include BOTH the vat saving and our Christmas discount bike offers and so it is with great pleasure that we remain the country’s most affordable and trusted bicycle brand.

As we have said before, vat reduction inclusive, if you find another bicycle of similar spec to ours for a lower price, tell us and we will beat it.

If you have any questions at all, please contact us at your convenience.

Thanks,

“Last year, Courvoisir, in partnership with The Observer, led a search for the UK’s most innovative business brains and creative talent. The results of the search led to the creation of Courvoisier The Future 500 - a vibrant network of 500 of the UK’s most dynamic individuals.”

In The Observer newspaper today, the 500 new members of this network were listed, and it is with immense joy that we can annouce that we are one of them. In fact, we have been placed in the Top 100 of the 500 members picked out of the thousands that applied. We are immensely proud of this achievement and believe that this sort of belief from others will be our inspiration to grow.

“Freddie Bourne, Director, Capital Cycles Ltd
For Freddie Bourne, inspiration came while waiting for a bus in Brixton: what London needed was cheap, reliable bicycles. He set up Capital Cycles to provide bikes for under £100 delivered and, within 10 weeks, his turnover had hit £25,000, providing commuters with an affordable, environmentally friendly, healthy and convenient way to get around town.”

Capital Cycles is unique and we know that. We genuinely are the first bicycle brand that has focused purely on simplicity, reliability and above all else - affordability.

A quick note for anyone who has spotted our new Modern Dutch Hybrid bikes - in the short time they have been available online, we have already pre-sold 25% of our stock and the other 75% is going fast.

If you’ve seen the extraordinary value for money represented in these fantastic bicycles, i would urge you to get in there quick and they are going - fast. You can see them by clicking here.

Please also remember: if you order the gents and ladies hybrid bike together, you will be sent a FREE wicker bcycle basket (RRP £26.99).

Take care.

If, while coming across this site you buy a bicycle and you think a friend of yours might also want to buy one, simply tell them about us and then if they order one within a week of you placing your order, we will send you a FREE Bicycle Seat Bag (£14.99). All you need to do is make sure they mention your name when they place the order - which they can do by email or by phone.

We want to help spread the word that cheap, well built hybrid bicycles are available! They are reliable, durable, attractive and most importantly, affordable.

Thanks

A customer recently told me how important it was that people knew ‘who’ was behind Capital. The reason - he had never experieced a more personal service from an online shop and felt it was important for other people to know. 
Hi, my name is Freddie Bourne, I am 26, and i am the founder, owner and Managing Director of Capital Cycles Ltd.
I answer all your emails, take your telephone calls, process your orders and handle every one of the requests, problems and questions that you may have about us, our bikes or our service.
I set up the company in January 2008, launched on 9th May and in that time i have sold over 600 bicycles. The ‘Capital Cycles’ brand is something completely new. I realised that if i was going to make cycling genuinely affordable then there was no point in buying other people’s bikes - as they are all so expensive, have too many unneccessary gears and suspension and had a pricey stigma attached to them. Instead, i was going to have to go to the roots and start from the beginning. I went on a mission to find the manufacturers who make the other people’s bikes and asked them to make mine too. This gave me control over the specification, design, accessories and colour of the bikes - it meant that i had a say in every decision. Capital represents simplicity, reliability and affordability. As the person behind it, i represent responsibility, customer care and most importantly - the face behind the business.

My aim for 2009 is to open my first shop, so fingers crossed for the future.

If you have any questions or want to ask me about something, just contact me and i will be happy to help you out.

We are like the Ikea of the bicycle world and we operate our business around three keywords - quality, reliability, affordability. To do this we are continually and exhaustively meeting with new manufacturers and suppliers, testing samples and constantly working to increase and improve our range of bicycles whilst at the same time remaining affordable for everyone.

Unlike almost any other affordable bicycle brand who have their bikes made in China and India, we have moved production away from here and our bicycles are now made exclusively within Europe, where producers have to meet strict European Commission standards and where every bike is tested to the the most stringent European standards. As we are much nearer to them it also means that can oversee production, keeping a close and personal eye on our bikes. With most of our components coming from Italy and Germany, we are confident about their longevity and reliability too.

Buy from us and you buy with confidence.

Thanks.
