About Us
Bikeworks Cycle shop has over 38 years experience in the Bicycle industry. Bikeworks Cycle shop first opened on April 1st 1970 in Bangor Town Centre and was known as 'Sampsons cycles'. The shop traded there until 1995 when it moved to the outskirts of Bangor to the Balloo Industrial Estate which offered more retail and workshop space. It was during this move that the shops name was changed to Bikeworks Cycle Shop.
