A contract between us for the purchase of the goods will not be formed until your payment has been approved by us, the prices have been verified, and the order has been processed and dispatched. A dispatch email will be sent confirming these arrangements.
Please note for orders with multiple items they may be dispatched in separate parcels and at separate times; and that receipt of the dispatch notification does not constitute a formal contract for the full order until all items have been dispatched.
Any views or opinions expressed on items are for guidance only and do not constitute any part of a contract.
Stock Policy
All products subject to availability.
We aim to hold stocks of all items that we display on the website, however in some cases stock may not be available from our suppliers. When this applies the website will not allow an order to be placed or paid for, we won't accept an order that we can't fulfil.
If a product is showing 'out of stock' but you select it anyway the 'Add to Basket' button changes to 'Keep Me Updated'. If you click this button and complete the next form you will automatically be emailed when that product comes back into stock. Neat. It also tells us that you have logged it so that we can try and get it faster.
Occasionally, due to human error, our stock levels may not be correct - if we don't have an item that you have ordered we will contact you immediately the error comes to light.
Website Accuracy, Pricing & Availability
At Bridgtown Cycles we want to provide a service that meets your expectations in every way. We have tried hard to ensure that the details contained in this website are accurate but we cannot accept any responsibility for errors that have gone undetected. If we discover an error in the price of any goods which you have ordered we will inform you of this as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund. Where applicable, prices are inclusive of VAT. Delivery costs will be charged in addition; such as additional charges where applicable and included in the 'Grand Total'.
The website may contain typographical errors or other errors or inaccuracies and may not be complete or current. We therefore reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to change or update information at any time without prior notice. We reserve the right to refuse to fulfil any orders that you may place based on information on the website that may contain errors or inaccuracies, including, without limitation, errors, inaccuracies or out-of-date information regarding pricing, shipping, payment terms, or return policies.
Online prices may be different from in-store prices and our shop may not carry the same stock and offers as available online.
All prices are quoted in pounds sterling by default and include taxes where applicable.
By choosing another currency from the drop down menu prices are converted to other currencies using real time data feed. These prices give a good indication of what you will be charged - however the final charge made may differ slightly from that shown.
We will not retrospectively match any prices once an order has been placed, including our own pricing reductions.
Indicative weights are given for all products, these are not guaranteed, however if you dispute the weights you may return the product to us for a full refund (see conditions in Returns Policy section).
Colours are reproduced as accurately as our electronic processes will allow, however, again, we cannot guarantee their accuracy.
If you have any issues at all with accuracy on the website, or indeed any other issue with it, we would like you to bring this to our attention, please contact us at shop@btownbikes.com

Order Processing
Your order is sent directly to our secure terminals for processing. Once we have received your order and payment, our staff will pick, pack and dispatch the item. We will aim to do this the same day for all orders placed Tue-Fri (excluding Bank Holidays).
Why you can feel secure shopping with us. We use the industry leading internet payment company OPAYO (formally Sage Pay) and PayPal, to protect your card details and protect us from fraud; the following security systems are used.
Transaction security. All transaction information passed between merchant sites and the OPAYO VSP Systems is encrypted using 128-bit SSL certificates. No cardholder information is ever passed unencrypted and any messages sent to your servers from OPAYO are signed using MD5 hashing to prevent tampering. You can be completely secure in the knowledge that nothing you pass to the OPAYO servers can be examined, used or modified by any third parties attempting to gain access to sensitive information.
Encryption and Data Storage. All sensitive data is secured on OPAYO using internationally recognised 256-bit encryption standards. The data they hold is extremely secure and the system is regularly audited by the banks and banking authorities to ensure it remains so.
Links to banks. OPAYO has multiple private links into the banking network that are completely separate from the Internet and which do not cross any publicly accessible networks. Any cardholder information sent to the banks and any authorisation message coming back is secure and cannot be tampered with.
Verified by Visa and MasterCard Secure Code. To ensure our mutual security and give you even more confidence in shopping online with Bridgtown Cycles, we have introduced Verified by Visa and MasterCard Secure Code. These services enhance your existing credit/debit card accounts against unauthorised use when you shop with us. To use this service, you must first register with the bank or other organisation that issued your card. Once you have registered and created your own private password with your card issuer, you will be automatically prompted at the checkout when the card is being processed to provide this password each time you make a purchase. Please note that your Verified by Visa and MasterCard Secure Code password is related to your credit/debit cards and is not your Bridgtown Cycles customer account password. Bridgtown Cycles does not have access to your Verified by Visa or MasterCard Secure Code password.
Employee access. No individuals within OPAYO are able to decrypt transaction information or cardholder data. Their systems only allow access to our most senior staff and only in extenuating circumstances (such as investigations of Card Fraud by the Police). Your card information is secure even from their own employees because the systems never display the full card numbers, even on administration screens.
CYCLE TO WORK INITIATIVES
You can get any accessory that keeps your bike wheels turnings, for instance:
Safety accessories - that help keep you and your bike safe; helmets, bike lights, reflectors, mirrors, bells, locks.
Essential accessories - necessary to cycle commute; clothing and shoes, mudguards, panniers, backpacks, child safety seats.
Components and parts - that keep your bike in great shape; pumps, puncture repair kits, cycle tool kits, tyre sealant, groupsets, wheels, cranksets, cassettes.
How much can I spend?
Up until recently £1000 was the upper limit (at least for companies without their own consumer credit license).
However, new legislation has removed the £1000 limit for bikes under the Governments Cycle To Work initiative, so employers can now apply to have no limit on the value of certificates issued to employees! This new limit is available now so your employer can start applying for a higher (or even unlimited) Cycle To Work limit straight away!
If you want to benefit from this new higher limit, all you need to do is get in touch with your employer or HR department and ask them to apply for a higher limit through their chosen Cycle To Work provider. Then you can apply for a higher value certificate and save on your dream bike!
Adding funds or ‘topping-up’ – with the new government guidance on scheme limits, it is now no longer possible to ‘add funds’ or ‘top-up’ your voucher to buy a higher value bike. This means that if you are looking for a bike or package worth £1000 or more, you must go through the new process with your employer or scheme provider to request a voucher for the full value.
Here at Bridgtown Cycles we are proud to support the following cycle to work schemes:
Cyclescheme
Cycle Solutions
Bike2Work Scheme
Green Commute Initiative
Vivup
C2W Support
Cycleplus
Cycle Scheme Surcharge
For any cycle scheme voucher initiative listed above, there will be an additional surcharge of 10% added on to the total cost of the voucher.
What can I buy?
You may buy any type of bicycle, be it a road bike, E-bike, hybrid, mountain bike or a folding bike but it cannot be a children’s bike. You can also use the voucher to get any safety equipment you need for commuting. This might include:
Helmets
Bells and Bulb horns
Lights
Mirrors
Mudguards
Panniers, Luggage
Locks and Chains
Pumps and repair kits
Reflective clothing
What can't I buy?
Items listed below are not to be used with a cycle scheme voucher:
Nutrition
Training equipment (Including Smart Trainers, Turbo Trainers, Rollers or accessories)
Bicycle Computers (Including Wahoo, Garmin, Lezyne, Stages etc)
Action Camera's
Children's Bicycles
How do I pay using my voucher?
Your first port of call would be to contact the team at Bridgtown Cycles either via telephone, email (shop@btownbikes.com) or in person to check on availability of the model/size that you would like. During this conversation your details will be taken and added to our database and a quote for your product/sale will be generated.
Once you have this quote then you can apply for your voucher using your companies relevant scheme (please check that we support this scheme before going ahead).
Once this has been processed by your company, you will then be emailed an electronic certificate which you can use in store to exchange for your new bicycle.
Please note: You can not purchase a bike via our website using a cycle scheme voucher. This has to be done as mentioned above.
Do I Have to ride to work on it?
When you get a bike via the cycle to work scheme it's vital that you get in the saddle and ride to work!

Click & Collect - Our Click & Collect service offers all the benefits of shopping online, combined with the same personal retail experience that you'd receive in our store. Simply order your items, select Click & Collect and when your order is ready for collection we will contact you using the details provided when the order was placed. This can take up to 3 working days but is free of charge.
When you use the Click & Collect option for collecting your purchase you MUST be in procession of the following documentation:
Email notification/confirmation of your order
A valid form of identification - e.g. Driving licence | Passport
The debit/credit card that was used to originally pay for the item.
The goods will not be released unless the above criteria is met. This is protect both you the consumer and use as a business against fraud.
Delivery of Complete Bicycles - We at Bridgtown Cycles pride ourselves on our customer service, knowledge and having one of the best service centres around. It is preferable that all bicycles are collected from our store (either in Cannock or Tavistock) in person. That way we can ensure that we continue our excellent customer services by providing all the relevant information about the bicycle and also point out any special features that these may have and their intended use. Also, an added feature to this is that all bikes collected will have the benefit of being built by our service centres fully qualified professional mechanics, so that you will piece of mind that your bicycle is assembled correctly and ready for use straight away.
All bicycles that are collected in person will then be offered the first service free of charge. This is to ensure that the bike runs how it should be after a period of bedding in. In normal circumstance/riding we often see the gear cable stretch a little and this can then send the gears slightly out of index, so what better way of sorting this by getting the Brigtown Cycles Service Centre mechanics servicing your new pride and joy free of charge.
Though if requested, we can deliver completed bikes (using the delivery options as described above) to home addresses only that match the payment details used for the purchase. All bikes that are delivered are not passed as safe to immediately ride on the road (small adjustments may be needed e.g. assemble of the handlebars and stem / insertion of the saddle and seat post). Therefore it is encouraged that the buyer seeks an authorised and qualified bicycle mechanic to complete the bicycle build out of the box and ensure that it is safe for use on the road.
All bicycles that are delivered are void the first free service at Bridgtown Cycles.
