Cycle Heaven is the UK's oldest and still the largest single shop retailer of Gazelle - one of the most famous and longest established cycle manufacturers in the Netherlands. Indeed Gazelle are one of the few 'real' bike companies left - that is one that actually designs, manufactures and markets their bikes from their own premises. This is because Gazelle thrives in the fertile soil of Dutch cycle culture.
We started off with Gazelle because we were looking for something for people who were serious about using bikes for transport, so we had to go to the Netherlands, because there as in York, cycling is a way of life. Gazelle make true urban bikes for people who actually wanted to ride their bikes daily - not the sports'n'leisure creations of most global cycle brands. Gazelle is the product of a culture where cycling runs deep, so what you get is something qualitatively different.
This is the quintessential Dutch bike. We love them and have sold them for just about as long as we've been in business.
