THE WORKSHOP
We love bikes. All bikes. Even those neglected beauties gathering dust in the garage, they just want some air in their tyres, oil to ease the squeaks, and an open road or trail to strut their stuff down.
We are not fussy about which bikes we work on, but we’re here to provide a high quality, reliable service and that can’t be done for "cheap" - bicycles are complex machines that need knowledgeable mechanics and time to get them sorted out 100%. At Woodstock Cycle Works we'll put in the love, knowledge and effort, if you’re willing to put in the required financial investment.
During busy periods - like before the Cape Town Cycle Tour, Cape Epic, Eroica, Africa Burn, etc., we advise that you make a booking for your bike, rather than arriving at our shop and being disappointed. It helps us help you with a professional and honest service.
If you have a bike needing serious love, restoration or customisation, please contact us so we can set up an appointment to chat and service you efficiently.

Prices depend on the complexity/time/knowledge of the issue(s). We’re fair and caring people at Woodstock Cycleworks.

P.S. - We are still running a business, so please be aware of the costs involved.
