Whiptail Cycles

Whiptail Cycles is a family-run cycle repair workshop based on Livingstone View in Tynemouth, serving riders across Whitley Bay, Monkseaton, Cullercoats, Tynemouth and North Shields. The workshop takes in road and mountain bikes for servicing and repair and stocks spares and accessories for sale in store, working alongside a small forecourt with parking for dropping off and collecting bikes. Rather than competing on new-bike sales against larger retailers, the business has built its trade on repeat repair custom, relying on local riders returning and recommending it to others rather than passing trade. It operates from this single Tynemouth workshop rather than a chain of branches, and sits within walking distance of the coastal cycle routes that run along the North Tyneside seafront, making it a practical stop for punctures and running repairs as well as scheduled servicing.
