Commitment

We release only safe bikes.

We explain what failed and why.

We teach where useful.

Started in a Walthamstow garage in 2013.

Grew business on St James Street in the old Coach and Horses building.

Moved to a dedicated workshop and switched to a mobile model to keep prices fair.

Same mechanics. Same standards. Fewer overheads. Better value for riders.

About Me

I am Toni Ward. I run Walthamstow Cycles. I sign off every bike. My standard is simple. Make the bike safe. Explain the work. Deliver on time.

Background

I started the business in 2013 in Walthamstow. I began in a small garage near St James Street. I moved to a dedicated workshop as demand grew. I switched to a mobile collect and return model to remove fixed costs and keep prices fair. Same mechanic. Same standard. Better value.

What I Do

I service everyday bikes for real world riding. City. Hybrid. Road. Kids. Cargo by agreement. I handle E bikes for basic service and safety checks where parts are available. If a job needs a specialist, I say so and point you in the right direction.

How Collection Works

No shop visits needed. We come to you. Three simple steps from your door and back again.

1

Book

Call, WhatsApp or use the form. Tell us what you need and we agree a collection time that works for you.

2

We Collect

We pick up your bike from your door in E17 or nearby. No need to be home if you have a safe handover spot.

3

We Return

Your bike comes back serviced, safe and ready to ride. We walk you through what was done and why.

Services

Every bike is different: some are more looked after than others, some have better components fitted than others, and that's cool — we firmly believe cycling should be accessible to all.

What's not cool is blanket pricing for everything. Why should your simple gear tune cost the same as a complicated gear tune?

Each bike is priced to its individual needs. You won't pay for work you don't need.

From £65Services priced to your bike's individual needs

We service your bicycle on its merits — if something doesn't need doing, then we won't, and therefore don't charge you extra. If we need to do something above and beyond a service then we will discuss this with you and tag on an additional labour charge.

Our workshop promise is that all bikes leave us in safe, roadworthy condition.

If we cannot repair your bike to a safe roadworthy condition, for whatever reason, we reserve the right to refuse to do any work on it whatsoever.

How it works

Warranty & Support

You receive the original retailer or brand warranty paperwork. I cover my assembly and setup for thirty days. If anything settles or creaks I sort it.
