Capital Cycles
Suit Your Commute With Your Capital Companion

We are sometimes asked why our Dutch Style bicycles are more affordable than the others on the market. It is an important question too and our response is always the same. We may be affordable, but our bikes are certainly not ‘cheap’. Our customer testimonials back this up as well as all the independent bike shops who have seen our bikes and commented on their good quality. So, here are a few of the reasons why our prices are so great:

• We are an internet based business that operates with low overheads and extremely low daily running costs. This allows us to keep our prices lower
• Our bicycles are designed and built in Europe, meaning low international freight charges. This also means that they define the iconic ‘Dutch Bike’ concept whilst conforming to the highest EU standards
• We have kept away from the high costs of unnecessary and expensive features and we have focused instead on the essential components that a good bicycle needs, using only well known, high quality brands
• The founder started the company because he could not afford to buy an affordable bicycle which was any good. He saw the need for Capital Cycles, and in order to maintain his ambition of selling affordable and yet high quality bikes, he had to operate on a low profit margin

SIGNS OF QUALITY: We only use the best components that we can find. This is visible from the alloy v-brakes, double walled aluminium wheel rims, high quality tyres and Shimano grip-shift gear change system with high end Shimano internal hub and rear derailleur systems.
All bicycles are guaranteed for 2 years. This is twice as long as almost every other bicycle brand in the UK. Also, if you are not completely happy with your bicycle, you can return it (see returns policy).

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK: If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact us. But before you do, please take a moment to read our customer feedback. These are independent comments sent by our customers, based on the bikes, our service and our dedication to customer care.

Yesterday, i had to take the bus from Putney to Picadilly. I wrote this on the way:

“Its hot, I’m sweaty and this bus isn’t even moving. I feel like a fly caught in an upturned glass, in direct sunlight. Why all this when I can be free, cool, feel the breeze and be moving instead of stuck in a cloud of diesel fumes?
All I can see ahead of me is traffic and as I sit here, still and sweaty, cyclists are cruising past me, making their way to where they want to be – with cool dignity and gentle grace.
I’m sat here, squashed into the wall by a friendly but large lady, and for entertainment I have people talking on their phones loud enough to make you question whether they even need a phone to be heard by the person they’re talking to.“

Perhaps I am alone in thinking this slower, sweatier, costlier and aggravating form of transport is the less good option – but I doubt it.

Which would you rather be doing?

If you agree with the story here, have a look at our Modern Dutch Style bicycles, £179.95 - delivered

One very common complaint about a bicycle will be the aches and pains you develop, even after just a short ride. The reason is very simple – with any road, street, hybrid or mountain bike, you will be crouching forward, craning your neck to look up and your arms will have adopted an unnatural and stressful posture.

• Ordinary classic ‘Sit up and beg’ bicycles eliminate most of these problems.
• OUR Modern Dutch ’Sit up and beg’ style bicycles don’t just eliminate these problems, but they are ALSO lighter, easier to ride, more reliable and substantially more affordable than almost any classic bikes you can find.

Our Modern Dutch style hybrid bikes have been designed specifically to produce a comfortable, unstressful, easy and reliable ride. Have a look now, close your eyes and just see know where you could take a Capital Modern Dutch style hybrid bike…

Has a moment in the street or the sighting of a classic ‘sit up and beg’ bicycle brought you round to the idea of owning a classic Dutch bicycle? If so, then i suggest you also take a look at our custom designed, unique Modern Dutch Hybrid range – designed purely around aesthetics, comfort, reliability and  affordability.

These bicycle are lighter, more reliable and far more suitable for everyday use and yet still retain the aesthetic charm of a classic bicycle – curved back handlebars offering an upright ride, dark racing green frame, two tone rims and jet black mudguards.
Hidden within this classic looking exterior are the modern touches that every bike really needs: top Italian v-brakes, double walled aluminium wheels, high spec Shimano gears and more…

So before you spend your money on a classic, 24kg hulk which might come out once a month, take a moment to look at the most suitable, custom designed, everyday bike every introduced to the UK.

Any questions? Contact us at your leisure.

Thank you.

I think it was all summed up yesterday when, in the Daily Mail, Lily Cole was pictured at Cambridge straddling a vintage Dutch style bicycle. Not that she needs any help – but didn’t she look great!

Do you want a bike like this? We sell them – redesigned for everyday use, and we even sell the hand varnished wicker baskets to go! In fact, the whole set up including delivery will cost less than £210.00- it is the Capital Modern Dutch Ladies bicycle.
