Celebrate 10 Years of Success

Update: 11th December 2011

559 Bikes opened in Chepstow in 2002, moving to its permanent home in Manor Way a few years later.

The current owner Sarah Reeve started work at 559 bikes in 2006, before taking over the business in 2008. 559 Bikes has always been a bike shop, however for a few years it branched out into outdoor clothing, before returning to its core business. Today 559 Bikes is a specialist bike shop with a wide range of bikes for all abilities.

As the only bike shop in the Chepstow area Sarah knows how important it is to look after her customers "I have always been passionate about biking and know how important it is to make sure people are riding the right bike."

The shop also has a busy workshop that caters for repair and servicing of all types of bike, which has led to Sarah taking on a new permanent member of staff in October 2011.

559 Bikes are a small family business that focuses on being part of the local community, providing raffle prizes and biking advice to local schools and community groups. The shop also organises twice monthly bike rides around the local area on a Tuesday evening, and has also supported a successful "24 hour" mountain bike race team and plans to support a local downhill racer in 2012.

As part of the 10 year celebration, 559 Bikes is having a special "10th day" on Saturday January 14th, where customers can get 10% off everything in store.

For Further information please contact Sarah Reeve on 01291 626126
