about us
As a mad keen enthusiast, active rider and ex GB athlete I have lived & breathed bikes for as long as I can remember! Bikes have always been a passion and I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience over the past 30+yrs working in and managing various bike and workshops.
I'll love your bike almost as much as you!

Where are you based?
theSHED is based in Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne. We operate from a private residential address, so when visiting please look for a house rather than a shop.
Is theSHED a shop?
No — theSHED is a home-based cycle service and repair business, not a retail shop. All visits are by appointment only.
What areas do you cover?
We primarily serve Gosforth and the wider Newcastle upon Tyne area, including nearby neighbourhoods. If you’re local and unsure whether we can help, just get in touch.
What cycle services do you offer?
We provide cycle servicing, repairs, and general maintenance, from basic adjustments to more involved work. If you’re not sure what your bike needs, we’re happy to advise.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes. As theSHED is home-based, all visits must be arranged in advance. This helps us manage time properly and ensures we’re available when you arrive.
What types of bikes do you work on?
We work on most everyday cycles, including commuter bikes, leisure bikes, and children’s bikes. If you have something unusual, feel free to ask before booking.
Is theSHED suitable for beginners?
Absolutely. Whether you’re new to cycling or just want straightforward, honest help with your bike, theSHED is a relaxed and welcoming place to get things sorted.
How do I book a visit?
You can contact us via the website to arrange an appointment. We’ll confirm availability and provide visiting details once a time is agreed.
