Used Bike Shop

Tarka Trail Cycle Hire - logo for recycling and repairing used bikes in North Devon

Aims

The aims of the Tarka used bike shop are simple. Prevent usable bikes from going to land fill and to make cycling accessible for all by providing quality used cycles at affordable prices. We can help you choose a bike to suit your needs and budget or save your old bike from the tip if you wish to donate it.

Prices

Prices start from £50 for an adult bike and £30 for a childs bike. All bikes have been through rigorous checks by our qualified mechanics to ensure they pass industry-standard tests. For peace of mind, every bike comes with a 30 day warranty. PLEASE CALL to check we have a suitable bike as we sometimes sell out during busy periods.

Donations

New bikes are often expensive—and many people simply can’t afford them. By donating your old bike, you’re helping us put affordable, reliable bikes back into circulation for those who need them most.

At the same time, you’re helping the planet. We accept bikes in any condition. If it can be fixed, we’ll restore it. If not, we’ll reuse the parts and recycle the rest—keeping valuable materials out of landfill and cutting down on waste.

We offer local collection in the Barnstaple area, so donating couldn’t be easier.

Your old bike might be gathering dust—but it still has the power to change a life, and lighten our impact on the environment. Let’s keep bikes moving—and out of the bin.
