About Us

 

Our hire centre is staffed from March to October, then we are open to pre booked hires over Winter.  If you would like to cycle the trails, please book ahead and we will be delighted to welcome you.

Arragons Cycles is an independently owned & family run cycle shop which is proud to be a part of Penrith's landscape for over 50 years.  We were voted Regional Winner for 'Britain's Best Bike Shop' in 2017, we were 'Highly Commended' in Best Small Shop Award in 2018 & 2019 and Finalist for 'Best Independent Store' in BikeBiz 2019.  Our small yet well established and highly experienced team prides itself on offering the best customer service, backed up with premium bikes & accessories.

In July 2018, we began offering Cycle Hire from the beautiful surroundings of Lowther Castle. The venture coincided with the launch on the Lowther Estate of a network of dedicated cycling and walking trails enabling visitors, particularly families, to enjoy the beautiful terrain of the Lowther Estate in Cumbria. We've been honoured to collaborate with Lowther Castle & Gardens to launch Arragon's Cycle Hire and are proud to be associated with this amazing attraction, offering a selection of E-Bikes, all terrain bikes & some super light children's bikes to hire.  

Visitors are able to hire a range of bikes, from trail bikes (Scott Aspect) for junior riders, superlight mountain bikes (Saracen Mantra) to a selection of pedal assist electric bikes (Scott Aspect with Bosch Performance CX motor) ideal for anyone who cannot face the more uphill stretches of the Lake District.

For 2022 we launched a new business - Arragons Cycle Hire Delivered where we will deliver to your accommodation Gazelle C8 pedal assist bikes that are perfect for discovering the area.  Our electric bikes are equipped with industry leading motors which are capable of covering in excess of 50 miles in one charge, so even if you're out of practice, you will be ahead of the pack!

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.
