About us

Manchester Bikes, a trading name of Cycle Waggle LTD, began life in July 2013 as Manchester Bike Hire with just a handful of rental bikes. Since then, we’ve grown into one of the UK’s leading dealers of cargo bikes and adapted cycles, while continuing to support hire customers across Greater Manchester and beyond.
The business is managed by Richard Armitage and Stefan Ondo, who bring years of experience in active travel, sustainable transport and fleet management.

Based at our shop on Chapel Street, we are now recognised as Cargo Bike Specialists and one of the largest suppliers of cargo bikes, trailers nad adapted cycles in the UK. Whether you’re a family looking for a practical way to travel, a business exploring zero-emission deliveries, or an organisation building a cycling fleet, we’re here to help.
