Written by the company

The Bicycle Lounge concept has always been the main vision for Matt Middleton (Owner) “My aim is to provide everything to do with the bicycle, from advice, bike fitting, components and clothing, to repairing a puncture on a Monday morning.” After working in the family business for over 20 years (Harry Middleton Cycles) Matt decided to set up The Bicycle Lounge in 2012, he wanted to give cyclists the best selection of products, the best value and the best service in the industry, fuelled by the need to give every customer that personal touch and experience, which we feel here at The Bicycle Lounge the industry has been missing.

Buying From a True Independent Bike Shop Still Matters

After looking at bikes from some of the larger discount retailers, it became obvious very quickly, you can end up feeling like just another number. There didn’t seem to be much interest in answering detailed questions or helping personalise a bike to suit the rider properly.

That’s why dealing with The Bicycle Lounge has been such a refreshing experience.

What really stands out is the knowledge and passion that Matt Middleton brings. This is someone who has spent most of his life deeply involved in the racing scene, and that experience genuinely shows in the level of advice and attention you receive.

Buying a high-end race bike is a big investment, and having somebody who is willing to spend time discussing setup, fit, components, riding style, and personal preferences makes a massive difference. The whole experience feels personal rather than transactional.

There’s also something important about supporting a small independent cycling shop run by somebody who truly lives and breathes the sport. You simply don’t get the same level of care, enthusiasm, and genuine customer service from large warehouse-style dealers.

If you value expert advice, personal service, and dealing with people who are genuinely passionate about cycling, I’d highly recommend The Bicycle Lounge.

What can I say about Matt and his team…

What can I say about Matt and his team at the Bicycle Lounge, apart from fantastic. From my first visit to the shop in September until I picked up my Pinarello Dogma F in April , the hole experience has been brilliant.
Matt couldn't do enough for me, the advice and guidance he gave was invaluable.
I can't recommend the Bicycle Lounge enough.

Excellent Local Bike Shop

Good selection of high end bikes. Excellent service and support. Very pleasant shop with great staff and local parking. Not local to where I live but worth the trip to buy my new bike.

Just bought a Pinarello F5.
Fantastic customer service from the first second I walked into the store. A big thankyou to Sean who spent an hour or so advising me on my options, and talking me through the whole purchasing process. Such a friendly and knowledgeable bloke. Thanks Sean for all your help.

A true ‘Specialist’ in their field with decades of experience in cycling..

This is my fourth bike from Matt over the years. The overall service, the quality of workmanship, the attention to detail and the passion Matt and the team provide is simply unrivalled.

There is nothing they don’t think of with absolute detail; from the first meeting to discuss bike options, right through to handing over my new bike and ensuring I’m fully equipped with all the key information needed to understand all about my new bike and how to look after it. And they make amazing coffee!

A true ‘specialist’ in their field with decades of experience in cycling. Thank you Matt and The Bicycle Lounge team!

The Bicycle Lounge Ormskirk- Excellent

I found purchasing a new bike from the Bicycle Lounge to be an excellent experience, the staff are courteous, knowledgeable and professional. It was easy to do business with a shop selling quality products whilst providing an excellent experience from first contact through to delivery and post delivery support.

Just bought a bike from The Bicycle Lounge and i am over the moon with the attention and service i got from the staff. They took the time to measure me and make sure the bike was the correct size then fitted it to my spec. A truly professional outfit and a brilliant experience,thanks.

Great service above and beyond expectations

Went the extra mile to make sure I found a part for my bike build. They found a spare in their workshop they had for a different brand of bike but took time to measure it and send me pics to make sure it would fit. From first phone call, communication was excellent. I did phone another bike shop before contacting The Bike Lounge but they did not seem interested at all. The Bicycle Lounge appeared really keen to make sure I got the part needed for my bike and that makes a massive difference. Thank you.

Just bought a Pinarello Dogma F from Matt and the team at TBL. Really helpful; great advice, and went out of the way to make sure it came in within budget and that I was all set up correctly once it arrived. Good collection of high and mid end bikes in store to see too if you just want to browse initially. Highly recommend.

Superb customer service tailored to you…

Superb customer service tailored to you as an individual. The process of bike fit and bike set up before you take it away is relaxed and friendly and the team are hugely knowledgeable about every aspect. Matt takes great care to get things just right through his attention to detail.

A top experience from start to finish and I have no doubt the aftercare will be just as supportive.

I can highly recommend Matt and his team.
