All second-hand bikes are serviced to ensure trouble-free cycling for you and are covered by a 30-day warranty (excluding punctures).

Our sources of second-hand bikes are buy-backs from departing students, local bike shops offering part exchanges, a social enterprise teaching bicycle repair, and another supplier receiving bicycles donated to a local authority recycling centre. We offer low-cost options but trusted brands with good quality components provide the best cycling experience for you.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS:
We have been lucky to find Village Shop Bicycles when we arrived in Oxford 8 years ago with our two children. Richard kindly fitted them with great bicycles throughout the years. His help has gone beyond supplying good second hand bikes to fixing any problems even at short notice. We couldn’t recommend Richard more, he is super friendly and very professional and he comes to your door with his red van!

“I had a great experience with Village Shop Bicycles. Richard was able to deliver the bike to my place, and the bike worked well. The most convenient part for someone not staying in Oxford for too long was the 50% buyback. Richard was able to pick up the bike which was again really appreciated, and communication was prompt. This is much cheaper than renting a bike around Oxford. I would highly recommend this service for anyone looking to buy a bike” [Student, Oxford]

“I highly recommend Village Shop Bicycles to anyone looking to buy a 2nd hand bike in Oxford and near Oxford. Richard reconditions the bikes with care and skill and delivers them to your door! We’re so happy with our bikes and thank you Richard for the great after-care service too”. [Anna, Oxford]

I had a great experience buying a bike from Richard six months ago. He was very responsive, offered the bike at a fair price, and even provided a ‘buy back’ option, which I found very convenient. I’m thrilled with the bike and would definitely recommend him to others

Richard’s professionalism and expertise was very helpful in suggesting the right model for my needs and advising proper care.
I highly recommend his services for anyone seeking a new bicycle.

Richard went above and beyond to help me find the perfect bike. His knowledge, patience, and dedication made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for expert guidance and outstanding customer care!

What a find, and what a lifesaver!! I recently got into cycling and while on my first solo ride, I ran into problems with my chain not shifting to the largest cog. A kind bystander (thank you Gareth @Copse Barn) recommended Richard who was just down the road at the village shop – just my luck! Richard gladly offered to help. Even though it was his day off work, he was extremely patient in helping me tighten my cable tension, adjusting my derailleur and gears. In about 20 mins, I was wiser about my new bike, it was fixed and ready to be taken back on the road. He wouldn’t even accept payment for fixing it, I can’t thank him enough and I am extremely thankful for his help and kindness. I can wholeheartedly recommend Richard for his bike repair services and the village shop! I will definitely be stopping by the shop again soon, what a great find – you added to making my first solo ride an amazing experience. Thank you!!

Richard from Village Shop Bicycles provided excellent customer service and great communication. The whole process went smoothly, from selection to delivery to the buy back. It tremendously helped during my short-term stay in Oxford. Would highly recommend to anyone needing a bike in the area.

Yet again, Richard has saved me. The night before Blenheim triathlon, I discovered that the front derailleur had snapped. 5 pm on a Friday afternoon. No problem for Richard. All working perfectly in time for the race. Thank you, Richard!
