Solent Cycles pride itself on it's workshop and its ability to provide customers with well maintained, safe bikes.

Hampshire Constabulary

Gosport Police believe bicycles form the preferred method of transport for officers. They provide a reassuring visible presence allowing community engagement but with the ability to patrol the neighbourhood more efficiently.

Gosport Police also trust Solent Cycles to service all the Police bikes within the Gosport and Lee-on-the-Solent area.


Hub Adjustment

Servicing Menu.

Whilst a good proportion of what our workshop does is unique to the individual requirements of each repair we see, we operate a fixed menu servicing system for general routine servicing tasks. Details as follows

For individual repair jobs, we would ask that you bring your bike in for an assessment. We'll try to give you an accurate price for the required work at this point and keep you informed if our initial assessment is proved to be incorrect. Either way you'll know, at all stages of the repair, what we are doing and approximately how much it is going to cost.

NB. Please ensure your bike is clean before you bring it in. Our mechanics charge extra for working in mud!
