Customer Testimonials
What an excellent bike shop in Pickering, North Yorkshire. An excellent staff, knowledgeable, helpful, courteous and friendly. The shop is fully stocked with a fantastic range of bikes and accessories. They have a full service and repair workshop. I purchased my ebike from them yesterday, a Haibike SDuro Trekking 4.0, absolutely delighted. Thank you Alex for your excellent service and customer care. I would highly recommended Big Bear Bikes.
From the moment we went into the shop, nothing was to much trouble.
Never had a ride on an ebike before, so it was all new.
They listened to what we required, gave their thoughts, then allowed us to ride a few bikes, allowing us to make up our own minds.
We did not buy on the first visit, as we needed time to think it over.
2 months later after doing some research I rang and spoke to Alex, again really helpful.
Greater knowledge than most bike shops and nothing was a problem.
Needless to say we bought two bikes.
We highly recommend Big Bear Bikes.
First class service from all staff at the shop.

Really helpful and knowledgeable staff, covid safe shopping, lovely bike my son is delighted with it.
When I spoke to the shop assistant I explained what I wanted to do with my bike and he fully understood what sort of bike I needed and that it had to be easy to use. He was extremely helpful and allowed me to try a bike outside in the car park , in the rain he was not worried that it would get wet and dirty like some other shops I’ve visited.
He then arranged for my bike to be brought from the warehouse and ready for me to collect the following afternoon .
Upon collection the assistant showed me how to use the gears and help me to wheel it out the shop. Superb service and I have already recommended the shop to a friend who is considering getting an electric bike.
Good quality products
I went into the store with a £1000 budget, your staff were extremely helpful (even tho it was soon apparent that this budget was unrealistic), they spent nearly an hour with me explaining about different e-bikes, it was also near to closing and they did not hurry me.
I returned a few weeks later and purchased my ideal bike from you which I am extremely pleased with. Excellent customer service at this stage, thank you
Quick and help full staff that kept me informed in regarding where my mudguards were after ordering. Bagged up ready to go promptly when I spoke to counter staff. Well organised.
Great customer service
Excellent service! I bought a Trek Marlin 5 for my son for Christmas. He was able to test ride it and choose from a good selection.. Customer service was outstanding definitely recommend Big Bear Bikes.
Excellent shop, very friendly and helpful staff.
It’s all fantastic
The guy who first served me was very knowledgable, not pushy and explained the pros and cons well. When I picked up my bike, the chap took me through the bike in detail and showed me how to set up the suspension. Very impressed by the quality of service.

Very happy with the staff and service especially during COVID.
Good advice while choosing my bike, not rushed into making decisions. Ample time to test ride different models.
Thank you Pickering!
