About Us
Bananas About Bikes is a Weybridge based business providing servicing and repairs to bicycles, which has evolved out of a passion for cycling and the love of maintaining bikes for many years.
We pride ourselves on a professional service, paying meticulous attention to detail and looking after the customer’s needs.
All work is carried out by a technician certified to Cytech Technical Two or higher, so you can be safe in the knowledge that your bike is receiving the best possible service.
Cytech is the internationally recognised training and accreditation scheme for bicycle technicians, with Technical Two being the worldwide industry benchmark.
Benefits of Proper Cycle Maintenance
Servicing and maintenance of your bike is very important for a number of reasons.
Firstly, you have bought a bike which hopefully will be your pride and joy to own. So, by keeping it in good clean condition, it will help to give you years of reliability and enjoyment. By keeping your tyres at the recommend inflated pressures will reduce the chance of getting any punctures, but not stop them.
Components will wear out over time, so by maintaining your bike, you can replace items before the bike lets you down. Keeping your bike in clean condition will prevent any corrosion build up and also reduce the wear of the chain and other drive train components.
Services & Pricing
We provide 3 different types of service, ranging from a general service, a more comprehensive check with a clean and polish, to a full strip down of the cycle to give a more thorough and detailed service. We can also carry out maintenance or repairs on an individual basis, covering any typical repair that can be encountered on a bike.
Prices do not include parts and are based on labour costs. Collection and return within a 5 mile radius for a nominal fee.

Reached out to Kevin just before he closed his bike shop, and he kindly fixed the flat tire on my e-bike. I was lucky... he had a spare tube that fit the small wheel. Amazing person, skillful and excellent service!read more

Kevin did a brilliant job bringing two old bikes of ours back to life. They’d been in the garage for years and the... tyres wouldn’t pump back up. Kevin picked them up, pumped everything, checked brakes, replaced the perishes handlebars and more, all way cheaper than other quotes I had, and gave us some really useful tips about local cycling. Highly recommend. Lovely guy too. Thank you.read more

Thank you Kevin! Kevin recently serviced both my childrens bikes as well as mine. Kevin was courteous, and... communicative at all times. We paid for Kevin to collect and deliver our bikes, and he was on time and everything was done to a very high standard. It's clear to me that Kevin really is 'bananas about bikes' and I would wholeheartedly recommend his services to friends and family. Thanks Janread more

We have used Kevin for a number of bike repairs and his service is always with a big smile, a ton of knowledge and all... done efficiently without breaking the bank at all. My teenage son recently contacted him independently too and Kevin really made him feel at ease explaining everything that he should have repaired and was great at making him think about what was necessary and unnecessary. A fabulous local service that needs to be used and the word spread about it.read more

I've been taking various bikes to Kevin for over a year now and he has always been a pleasure to deal with and, more... importantly, exceptionally good at sorting out the bikes. Whether it be a service, a small tweak or something more serious, he always gets the job done and takes the time to explain what the issue is. He is also very reasonable and does his utmost to fix any issues in good time. As an experienced cyclist himself, he knows we don't like to be without our pedals for very long and often delivers ahead of schedule. I highly recommend him and his work.read more

Kevin serviced my Specialised hard tail mountain bike. He was quick, really helpful with problem solving and... suggestions to try to sort out why the rear wheel just wasn’t moving freely at all. Ordered and fitted some replacement parts that were badly needed. Communication was great and it was good value for money. I picked the bike up and it was spotless and going really well. I cycled home off road for 12 miles of muddy paths; oops back to mucky again but still running smoothly. Highly recommend and will be back when my road bike needs help.read more

I left my Orbea road bike with Kevin for a couple of days (he collected from my house and returned it) to have a new... chain, chain ring, brake pads and a bit of a service. It came back riding like a new bike! Kevin explained everything he’d done, provided invoices, and charged less than I thought it would be.
Amazing service from Kevin. Will definitely use again!!read more
