About us:
Welcome to Bainton Bikes Limited website.
We are a friendly family run business based in the beautiful city of Oxford.
We offer bike hire, repairs and bike tours of our famous city, all at the best price available.
Oxford, famous for its Universities and the dreaming spires is home to one of Britain’s largest cycling communities.
All over the city you will find streets accessible only to pedestrians and cyclists and every day the diverse mix of bikes
and people orientate themselves to work, for leisure and some even for exercise.
If you are looking to visit the city or the surrounding countryside and want to experience the wonders of this city just as the locals do,
why not let us guide you through the main sights and some hidden gems also, on one of our guided tours.
Alternatively we will equip you with the knowledge so you can enjoy the sights of Oxford at your own pace;
we can even supply a picnic for those who want to relax along the way.
If you are visiting Oxford getting around by bike really is the best form of transport, so why not hire one of our lovely bikes for a fraction of the cost of other hirers.
All of our bikes are styled as traditional Oxford bikes, our bikes are lovingly cared for and we have an excellent range of makes and models.
We are happy to help you with maps and additional cycling requirements on request.
Bainton Bikes Limited is the labour of love of Kevin and Honour.
They combine their great passions, cycling and the city of Oxford to bring to you experiences that we hope you will never forget.
Please feel free to contact us and discuss your requirements as we realise everyone is different and we are happy to help.
Don't put up with a squeaky, noisy, or just plain rubbish bike - hire your own customised ride with lights, locks, routine servicing, delivery and puncture repairs all included for free!
