Why shop with Evans Cycles?

Founder Fredrick W. Evans opened the original Evans shop on Kennington Road, London back in 1921. He quickly developed a reputation for quality builds, and his own bikes and frames scooped an award from the Cyclists Touring Club in 1925 – an early hint of the success to come. Over the years, Evans Cycles built on its reputation for quality, stocking its shops with some of the best brands and products on the market, as well as developing its own lines of bikes and components under the Pinnacle brand. There are now over 60 Evans Cycles stores across the UK, and in the late 90s the company moved online too. You can browse its full product range online, with cashback available on eligible items when you visit through our offer links.

Quality bikes

As well as its own Pinnacle bikes, Evans Cycles stocks tens of thousands of models from leading manufacturers such as Cannondale, Trek, Brompton and Specialized. So the question is: what are you looking for? Do you want to breeze through your daily commute with a space-saving folding bike, hit the trails with a hardy mountain bike, or get out on the streets with a speedy road bike? It's all here, along with BMX’s, electric bikes, touring bikes and any other variety you can think of. Evans' brand values say, "We believe that quality products help you get more joy from riding" – so whatever you go for, you can be sure it's among the best of its kind on the market. If you're near an Evans store you can pop in to test-ride any model, but remember you'll need to buy online to earn cashback.

Cycling accessories

The bike is just the start of it. Head to the accessories section to browse Evans Cycles' huge range of extras and essentials, from locks that keep your bike safe to helmets and lights that keep you safe. Grab some mudguards for mucky winter rides, or maximise your storage with saddle bags, handlebar bags, baskets and phone mounts. This is also the place for training and monitoring tools to help you hone your performance – think turbo trainers, rollers and cycle computers.

Trade and upgrade

Upgrade your old bike the smart way using the Evans Cycles trade-in service. Save money on a brand-new bike by part-exchanging your previous one, either in store or through the Click and Collect service. This won’t just benefit you – Evans Cycles takes the bikes that customers trade in and donates them to a number of charities, meaning you’ll be helping others too. Visit the bike trade-in page of the website to find out how much money you could get off your new bike. Then simply enter a trade-in code at the checkout when you pay for your new bike. Check the terms and conditions before you commit to a part-exchange though, as the purchase might not be eligible for cashback.

Insure your bike

Give yourself peace of mind by insuring your bike against theft or accidental damage. Personalize your bike insurance policy to suit your needs and budget, whether you cycle every day, once a week or just occasionally. Evans Cycles offers insurance options for cycling at home and abroad, as well as competitively. All you need to do is enter the value of your bike and your postcode into the website to get an instant quote and see which cover options are available to you. All claims are dealt with by an in-house team.

Cycle more with the Ride-to-Work scheme and RIDE IT organised rides

Evans Cycles is committed to encouraging more and more people to cycle in the UK. If your employer signs up to Ride-to-Work, the brand's tax-free cycling scheme, you could ditch that crowded train carriage and get amazing value on a bike to cycle to work on. And once you've got the bug, why not meet some new people and explore some new routes by signing up to one of Evans's RIDE IT rides? They take place all over the UK, and with over 80 road and off-road events per year, you’re sure to find one to suit you – they range from 15-mile fun rides to 100-mile-plus epics. You can also turn to Evans to keep your bike in tip-top condition, with in-store workshops and Gold, Silver and Bronze maintenance services all bookable online.

Dress for the ride

Enhance your performance and look the part with Evans Cycles’ selection of cycle performance wear for men, women and kids. Stock up on essential kit like shorts, jerseys and socks from top brands like Kalf, Castelli, Specialized and Gore, and brave the elements with base layers, arm and leg warmers, and waterproof jackets. There's also a useful shoe finder that demystifies one of the most confusing clothing purchases in the cycling world. It'll ask you a few questions about your riding style, gender and shoe preferences, then serve you a list of suitable products.

Cycling tips and simple online shopping

Shopping online doesn't mean you miss out on great customer service and cycling advice. One of the best features of the Evans site is Coffee Stop, a blog and events calendar that covers everything from riding tips to gear reviews. It'll help you choose the right products and get the best out of them. And when it comes to shopping for your products, you can refer to handy size guides, and buy safe in the knowledge you're protected by a full warranty and a generous returns policy.

5 ways to make the most of your Evans Cycles cashback

Need some ideas on how to start earning cashback with Evans Cycles? Read on for our five top suggestions.

1. Teach your kid to ride

Teaching your children to ride a bike gives them a skill that’ll stay with them for the rest of their lives, so take advantage of our cashback deals with Evans Cycles to get them pedalling. Try starting off with a balance bike to help boost confidence and teach steering – and make sure you buy a kids' helmet even at this early stage, because falls can still happen (not to mention that it's best to learn good safety habits from the very start). You’ll also find a selection of fun and colourful children’s bikes, along with detachable stabilisers that’ll give them an initial confidence boost.

2. Build your custom bike

If you’re up for a challenge, why not try your hand at building your bike from scratch? All the parts you’ll need are there in the Evans Cycles components section, including frames, stems, pedals and brakes. The components shop is also the place to go when you’re looking to customise a bike you already own, or replace any worn or missing parts, from bar tape and tyres. And if you’re stuck at any point, you can always refer to the Coffee Stop blog, jump on a live chat with an Evans customer service rep, or even drop into a store for advice (though again, remember you'll need to shop through our links to get your cashback).

3. Buy your cycling accessories

No matter what kind of riding you’re into, Evans Cycles has all the accessories you could ask for. Make the most of your cashback by getting your hands on exposure lights for night rides, panniers for touring, or overshoes to keep your feet warm when pedalling in winter. If the holidays are approaching, you could also invest in a bike rack for your car and kit out the whole family for some leisurely off-road cycling with backpacks and water bottles.

4. Get fitter and faster

Cycling is a great way to get in shape. Whether you’re training for a sportive or just trying to keep fit in your spare time, Evans Cycles has tech to help you monitor your progress and work out more effectively. Go to the accessories section to take a look at power meters, speed sensors, heart rate monitors and more from the likes of Polar and Garmin. If you want to give yourself the option to train indoors too, use our offers to get even better value on a turbo trainer (for newbies, that's a device that clamps your bike in place so you can ride it stationary).

5. Keep your bike on track

It isn't just your fitness and performance you need to monitor – your bike needs plenty of TLC too. Cashback offers are a great opportunity to pick up some of those essential bits and pieces that keep it running smoothly. Order tools and components for your home workshop and saddle bag, so you can be prepared to carry out maintenance at home or on the go. Pick up parts like tyres and inner tubes, invest in a track pump and build your own puncture repair kit. Check out Evans Cycles' blog posts and in-store workshops to learn more about how to service your bike yourself.
