About Us

Chorlton Showroom & Workshop

Based in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, South Manchester, Ken Foster's Cycle's is a comprehensive cycle shop selling a wide range of bikes, components, accessories and all-weather cycle clothing.

History

Ken Foster's Cycles formerly known as Foster's Cycles is originally a pre-war bike shop bought by Ken's Dad Eric, and Grandfather John in 1954.
In those early days the product range was very diverse ranging from lawn mowers to paraffin, as well as our core stock of cycles. We have always kept abreast of the times, modernising and changing with the cycling technologies, trends and styles, and have now served the local community with all things cycling for over 65 years.

Today

Today's shop still holds with that tradition, selling all types of cycles from toddlers trikes through to leisure bikes and full blown mountain, road, race and BMX bikes. Budget cycles through to Superbikes we do the lot. Parts and accessories too, clothing, luggage, locks, lights and a whole array of the latest cycling products - we have an enormous range as well as a modern workshop facility for repair and custom bike builds at realistic prices.

We have helped to organise, several cycle events at the Manchester Velodrome alongside Chorlton Velo riders and we take an active part in local cycling group activities.

At the end of the day we are exactly what we claim to be - a Real Bike Shop run by Cyclists for Cyclists...
