Leicester's entries offer three different starting points for a bike purchase or repair: an established independent on Clarendon Park Road, a community social enterprise in St Matthews, and Evans Cycles on Humberstone Gate. Northside lists second-hand bikes and community repair activity, while Julie's publishes a detailed workshop menu and arrival requirements. Compare those practical differences alongside each shop's location, then use the official links to check stock or arrange the work your bicycle needs.
Evans Cycles' Leicester branch is listed on Humberstone Gate and trades seven days a week. The national retailer's website covers bicycles, electric bikes, clothing, helmets, components and maintenance products, with a dedicated service-booking link on the Leicester page. It is a useful branch to check when combining a shop visit with an online order or arranging scheduled workshop work. The published Sunday hours differ from the rest of the week, and the branch telephone number provides a direct route for stock or appointment questions.
Julie's Cycles is an independent retailer on Clarendon Park Road with a showroom, online shop and booking-based workshop. Its catalogue includes Trek, Brompton, Giant and Genesis bikes, while the service menu covers routine maintenance, wheel truing, punctures, fork servicing and electronic-gear work. Workshop visits need an appointment, and the shop asks customers to bring a clean bicycle by its stated morning deadline. It also specifies that fitted replacement parts must be supplied by the shop, a useful detail to discuss before buying components elsewhere.

Northside Bikes is a local independent social enterprise based at Studioname art gallery in St Matthews. It focuses on affordable repairs, servicing and sales, with second-hand bikes and a range of parts and accessories. The business also runs free community repair sessions across Leicester, linking the shop to a wider programme of cycling support. Its website says both ride-in and pre-booked bikes are welcome. Saturday has shorter opening hours than weekdays, so check the published schedule when planning a weekend visit.
These are selected shops with published premises in Leicester. Use each address to plan the journey, and ask the shop about current stock, workshop lead times or a test ride before setting out. The map displays the shop you select.
For an e-bike repair, confirm the motor system and model with the workshop. A general repair service does not establish support for every electrical system. For Cycle to Work purchases, check your employer’s specific provider with the shop.

About these listings
This is a selected directory of physical bike shops, including independents, chains and community organisations. It includes town-centre premises and showrooms, not only shops on roads named High Street. Coverage is growing; it is not a complete list of every UK shop.
Addresses and listed services are drawn from the linked official shop pages. Listings are not ratings or reports of a visit. Confirm opening hours, stock, repair availability and accessibility directly before travelling. A service not listed here may still be available.
