Without a doubt one of the best customer experiences I’ve had. Nothing but professional and friendly communication from the team at pop up. Having taken my bike initially to Halfords for a bike chain fitting which I was going to pay for, I was told there was nothing they can do ‘because I had not purchased the bicycle from them’ - *even though Halfords themselves booked the bicycle appointment for me over the phone… I decided to go to pop up bikes on corporation street, and was given plenty of advice, friendly service and my repair was resolved WITHIN MINUTES! ~ as a new cyclist I appreciate that the repair wasn’t complex for the technicians but the fact that the repair was carried out same day and that within minutes was truly impressive. (Especially since Halfords quoted me 2 weeks wait for repair appointment and then told me they couldn’t do it) lol Pop up bikes for the win. Thank you Prakash

I've been going to Popup bikes since sometime around 2014 and I would never go any other place to have my bike(s) looked at. They are such a lovely bunch and really do a thorough job whenever they service my bike. I've had times where my bike would be making odd noises I couldn't pinpoint exactly and they would investigate it until getting to the root cause, always making sure I'm happy with the outcome. Their enthusiasm for bikes is palpable but they never make you feel like you don't belong there or that you can't ask a question, even if it's a really basic one for them. So friendly and approachable! They charge fair prices and never recommend things you don't need just for the profit. This is a wonderful magical arch and I'm so happy I came across it all those years ago. Prakash, Dipak and Mike (and everyone else) - thank you for being ace.

I've been here a few times now. It was especially useful where I used to live as I'd pass it on my bike enroute from my daily commute. Soon as you step in you are warmly greeted with a cosy patch of living room to your right filled with arm chairs, books and board games to chill or pass the time while your bike gets attended to. The coffee has always been spot on too with very fair prices attached. As for the bike repairs/assessments themselves they are very knowledgeable and transparent with pricing etc. It is quite busy at the moment with depending on your bike can take a while to get looked at but besides this all the staff are lovely . Highly recommend if you need a bike repair or just a coffee..just ring in advance if you do require your bike to be looked at just in case they are fully booked!

This review is long overdue, but just have to say that these guys are the definition of the term Salt of the Earth! Living in South Manchester, there are at least five bike shops between my house and pop up bikes, but I will definitely be passing them all to come back here the next time my bike needs fixing (no shade to the others, PopUp have just really impressed me!) We went to these guys towards the start of lockdown for a bike fit and tune up. What we found: super friendly, down to Earth, very reasonable prices, delicious coffees, and on top of all that, they are willing to take the time to listen to your concerns/questions. Can’t recommend them enough!

I recently purchased a vintage road bike and after riding it a couple of times I’d noticed a few issues of which I thought would be quite costly to repair. A friend had recommended Popup bikes and I’m so glad they did, they replaced my tyres and managed to sort out my gears which involved doing a bit of research on the bike itself and they even found a rare original part that is now obsolete! The staff were so friendly and helpful and gave me lots of advice. Most importantly, all the work that they did was at a really reasonable cost. Would definitely recommend!

Great place. These guys really care about their coffee - its all carefully selected by the staff and the food is great. Try the roasted vegetable toasties are the best! They've started selling some really cool bike accessories too! There is always a great mix of people in there drinking coffee or getting bike repairs - it makes for a really relaxed and friendly atmosphere - feels like a real little community place. When I do need to get my bike fixed the staff are always helpful and explain what repairs need doing and why - learnt loads from them about my bike.

Great local bike shop with great coffee and very convenient for the city centre as well. What's not to like about being able to park your bike safely or even have work done on it like trimming a wheel or indexing your gears while heading into the shopping area of the Northern Quarter or Market st of Manchester in the confidence that your bike will not only still be there but will be working better at the end of your visit to the 2nd City's centre? The coffee they serve is also high quality and the quirky setting makes for a very enjoyable visit.

Great friendly service and a great place, easy access and just a few minutes from Manchester City Centre or Victoria Station, Car parking outside for major repairs! Repaired my gears for a fraction of what other's would charge and explained what to do when I couldn't get top gear to engage, Try it for your repairs next time you need anything doing you wont regret it. also you can safely leave your bike there while in the City Centre for just £1.50 a day (7:30am to 7:30pm), and they have a Coffee Bar there too, Ideal for while you wait repairs.

I discovered this by fortune and it's completely charming! Two concepts: real good coffee without any other stuffing, and a very professional bike service totally opposite to the 'just-for-selling-new' shops. They do it perfectly with my old vintage bike (everywhere else I was told they couldn't fix it and get a new one). Apart from that, a really alternative cool environment where I felt like at home (they even have a guitar if you want to try some riffs!). Coffee and bikes, bikes and coffee, that's 150% of what I like! :D

Nothing short of amazing - I purchased this bike during their monthly jumble sale and could not have been happier with the steal I got! Due to my own mistakes, I damaged the brakes and chain slightly so had to return twice back to the shop. The staff were super friendly and polite, they fixed the bike within 10-15 minutes of me entering the shop and they did not charge me a penny. Great quality bikes, great repair services and even greater people. Could not recommend them anymore - best bike shop in Europe!

Awesome service, really good value for money and friendly staff. Bike fit is significantly cheaper than most places because it doesn't use computers and expensive gear to measure the fit, but the average user doesn't need that extra 10% of precision it brings to be honest. My rides are now pain free and I've fallen back in love with my bike. Would 100% recommend and will be back for any future issues. Plus I got some.grrat advice on cycling in general while we talked through the fit

Absolutely fantastic. I needed a buckled wheel repaired in an emergency and they really pulled it off. from customer service to speed of service these guys really nailed it! Really friendly, good prices, fantastic advice. I honestly can't recommend them enough for anything your cycling needs. As much as I feel there should be something to complain about (I am British after all) there's not a single thing. I shall certainly be using them again and recommending to all my friends

I used popup bikes today for the first time and i was so impressed! I'm fairly new to cycling but the guys are so knowledgeable and helpful!. I dropped my bike off this morning for 2 new tyres and brake pads and it was done the same day no problems at all! To all cyclists out there looking for somewhere to take their bikes for repairs you will not get better customer service or workmanship anywhere else! Superb service and 100% happy, thanks guys see you again

I can't speak highly enough of this bike repair shop. Their communication was amazing throughout the service of my bike. They bent over backwards and went above and beyond to try to source a part for my Brompton, which had been discontinued. Their prices are very reasonable, worth every penny. Reliable, friendly and informative staff. You can tell they love what they do and I would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for an outstanding service.

Friendly and committed service! Pop Up Bikes have twice gone out their way to get my bike back on the road. Their prices are very fair and they have the work done that day if they can. From walking in you get the impression that the staff first and foremost just love cycling and anything to do with bikes. Always use Pop Up Bikes when I need repair work carried out, which in my case is usually an emergency. Coffee's not bad either.

Top spot for urban cyclists to get their bikes wrenched, with friendly staff, transparent pricing and a rapid turnaround. When I was fortunate to recover one of my bikes that had been stolen by a thief and fell into disrepair, Popup brought it back to its former glory ✨ thanks folks! Delicious coffee served on-site, and they also host regular jumble sales - a great place to pick up a quality used bike or difficult to source parts.

Really fantastic and friendly service. My bike broke on the road in the evening, I turn up and they fixed it quick with no fuss within a day and at a really reasonable price. Kept me up to date with progress, did some additional helpful bits and gave me some great advice for the future. Also accepted my government repair voucher. My bike now rides better than ever. Great place definitely recommended! Thanks.

Have taken my bike for a service to these guys a good few times now and have always been really impressed every time by their level of service. Incredibly knowledgeable team, patient with my questions, honest and have been able to do a half day turn around, also willing to stay open longer so I could pick up my bike after work. Cannot recommend them highly enough. Thanks again and will see you next time!

One of the best bike shops I've ever been to - repaired my mudguard using a spare part after I stupidly broke it by riding off while my Ziplok lock was still attached to my front wheel. If I'd gone to a chain store they'd probably have insisted on replacing both mudguards at a much higher cost. Staff were super friendly too and was great to be able to have some food while I waited. Can't recommend more.

Been coming here regularly for coffee (and bike repairs) for years and wouldn't go anywhere else. Best cup of coffee in Manchester imo and very resonably priced servicing for bikes. Huge number of repeat customers and I go out of my way to drop my bikes off for servicing and repairs as I know I wont be ripped off and will get top-notch service. Can't recommend highly enough - especially the short black!

Simply outstanding. The lovely people at Popup Bikes could not have been more helpful and friendly. I have just returned to cycling after a modest 30 year break: both my bike and I needed a refresher. New brakes, new gear set, fresh air in the tyres and I am ready to go again. Excellent value with really useful advice and tips thrown in for good measure. Very highly recommended. Thank you, guys.

Very professional, helped me with troubleshooting a hub gear issue of my new bike and they suggested a warranty claim and did not even bill me after spending about 30minutes on my bike. The technician also gave me printout of the part to be replaced and did speak to the bike supplier about the issue which helped me in getting a quick warranty claim. Thanks a lot for the awesome service.

Needed some carbon grip paste and everywhere in town they only have the large tubes that cost over £25. Why would someone need to buy 100ml of carbon grip paste? Went to Popup Bikes and found exactly what I need - a 10g small tube which is enough for probably 10 uses. I also like that they don't sell rip-off cleaning/lube products that cost a fortune unlike the other shops in the city center.

Great coffee, great banter, great service. I'm in Pop Up at least once a week, mostly for the coffee and a place to store my bike (indoors!) whilst I drink it. I have on occasion needed their help with a bike issue and they've always been incredibly helpful and sorted me out. It's easily my favourite coffee shop in Manchester and a great place to go if you're in need of any mechanical help.

I recently bought a used bike and took it to Popup to be serviced. They were quick to see me and carry out the service despite me dropping in late the day. The technicians also replaced my bar tape with some I had bought online, which was done to a very high standard. Everyone was very friendly and professional, I will be returning to Popup bikes in the future for all my maintenance needs.

I've been coming here since they opened and can't recommend the place highly enough. Proper friendly and knowledgable staff. It's a well oiled machine, they'll always go the extra mile for you, keeping you updated and offering sound advice at reasonable prices. It's a pretty relaxed place to have a hot drink and a bite to eat n all. I wouldn't go anywhere else, can't fault it. Ozzie

Hands down the best bike shop in greater Manchester, probably the entire north of England. Friendly staff are on hand to offer honest, free advice, and the quality of service is 5 star. The coffee is wonderful and they have a wide arrange of cakes. Aesthetics of the shop is this stunning arch with art decor on the walls and roof, with comfy seats to enjoy your hot beverage.

Amazing experience - They were able to fit me in the same day, were incredibly friendly on the phone and in person! Worth travelling for if you're a bit further away. 10/10 service and very good value for money. Fixed a few small things on my bike without mentioning/charging and pumped up my tyres following the repair of my gears. Could not recommend this bike shop enough.

This place flat out rocks. Amazing people and an amazing vibe. I was visiting Manchester and my chain broke. The friendly and skillful folks had me back on my bike in no time at all and for ridiculously good value too. It's brilliant to see such a great place that has a really strong community spirit. Pop in with or without a bike, grab a drink and a Tunnock's teacake :)

We went there to drink coffee and cake. Here is cosy and local with a handmade cake. I felt like home and I can spend more time there. I missed these type of places far from modernity.here is clean and tidy as well. I think you can read your books while your bike is repairing. I will bring my bike here to repair as it is old and heavy as we are neighbours. Many thanks.

I've used Popup for bike repairs many times now. They're the most friendly and helpful team I've ever come across, managing to get me back on the road where other shops would've recommended a new bike or lots of expensive parts. Their prices are very reasonable and service times always rapid. And they do great coffee to boot. Can't recommend them highly enough!

My bike rides better than when I first got it. What a testament to this shop because I brought the un-cared-for bike and it was put back into pristine condition. It rides so smoothly now. I will definitely take more care of it and bring for routine maintenance. Also, they are SO helpful and very knowledgeable! Would not take it anywhere else in Manchester.

Popped in to see if I could get new inner tubes for my Airnimal and though they didn’t have them, due to their unusual size, the person who served me (who I think was the owner) got straight online and ordered them in for the next day. You can’t get better service then that. I just wish I had time to check out the coffee shop too as it smelt delicious.

Fantastic chatting to a couple of fellow cyclists on a random bike ride they recommended I should swing by What can I say,Dipak is a legend beyond redoubt, thank you so much for your time and effort. Had a lovely coffee whilst waiting for my trusty steed to be attended to by a true professional. Many thanks to you and your colleagues.

Cannot fault the staff or service at all. Very friendly, professional and down to earth. Even if you don't get your bike serviced/repaired, try their cafe. Lovely food, and you can admire the posters on the walls/ceiling on comfy chairs, or sit outside if it's sunny. You're also supporting a local bike shop and not a large chain. 5 stars

I Called in recently to have a brake/service check and right from the word go I knew that this was the right place to take my mountain bike. Absolutely brilliant staff who explained everything fully what needed to be fixed and adjusted. I would highly recommend a visit if you need any repair or service for your bike. Five stars from me.

I had a bike fit done there and I must say it was a very enjoyable experience. The bike fit came with a complimentary drink and snack which was unexpected. They even had a few vegan friendly items on the menu including plantbased milks. All the guys were very friendly and welcoming. The prices were less than half of other places.

Had a puncture first thing Monday morning, had no spare and after a quick Google I found this place. Headed straight over and was in and out swiftly with a new tube (and spare!). First class, friendly service and will certainly be back….hopefully next time just for a brew and a cake! Cheers again for sorting out my bad morning.

Pop up bikes was recommended to me from loads of people. So glad I went there for my bike fit what a difference it has made. All the staff are extremely friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Will be going here in future for all my bike needs. I highly recommend you give them a try you wont regret it. Thank you pop up bikes. :)

Absolute Stars! Been recommended this place by someone on the forum and could not have been happier. Great price and communication. The atmosphere in the shop was also a massive plus! And don't forget to grab a coffee while you there, as its just tasty and prepared with care ❤️ 10/10 Happy birthday on your 11th bday guys!

Rode over today to get some spokes adjusted and managed to fall off by putting my front wheel down a tram track on the way. Felt a real idiot. The guys at Popup bikes were kind, sympathetic - checked the bike over and sorted the spokes - all for the price of a cup of coffee. Amazing service and much appreciated.

Definitely the best bike repair shop in central Manchester. Super friendly and helpful staff, always able to fix an issue, seemingly no matter what your bike and turnaround of a day. The prices are reasonable and they're always willing to go the extra mile. Top notch! And the toasties ain't half bad either!

Best bike repair experience in Manchester. They really took the time to understand my issue and, more importantly, resolved it! I've been to other places that either couldn't solve the issue or were just plain rude. Not these guys though; polite, professional, cool and with excellent coffee! I'll be back!

This is hands down the best bike shop in Manchester! The team in there are always really welcoming and friendly. They give great, practical advice and I always feel listened to and respected, never patronised because I'm a girl which I've felt in a lot of bike places. The service and staff are top notch.

One of the best coffee shops in Manchester and probably the best bike repair too! Used it regularly as I worked round the corner and now I work a little further away I keep my bike there some days. They do great Paninis for lunch and have a selections of snacks. Really great and can't recommend it enough

Great bike and coffee shop. Staff are knowledgeable and laid back without any sort of "bike mechanic" snobbery! The location in an old railway arch is pretty special too. Look out for their amazing monthly bike jumble sales where you can find bargains or rare parts. First Saturday of the month usually.

Always excellent service - have been a few times now for general service and puncture repair. Very efficient and thorough at explaining what needs doing/has been done. There are other bike shops closer to where I live but I'd rather travel a bit further for this level of service. Thanks, Popup Bikes!

After having two bikes stolen, got a great second hand bike from here, with advice on locks, security registration and maintenance. They've also been amazing with repairs, fast turnaround times and helpful advice. Fantastic guys and though I haven't sampled the cafe, the carrot cake looks amazing.

This place is amazing. They're really friendly and very honest about what work needs doing. Prices are reasonable and always a high standard of work. Also not usually a long wait to book in. It's hard to find a reliable repair shop but I'll definitely be using this one regularly going forward.

Pop fixed my bike on the same day and for a really reasonable price. What an amazing place too. It doubles up as a coffee shop and it's just about the friendliest place I've ever been. I hardly ever write reviews but had to spread the word. Great service. Keep up the good work guys.

Brought a second hand brompton in for a check over and fix up and was riding out of there same day. Was met with a really friendly and knowledgable chap who ran through all the fixes with me. Couldn't fault the service at all. What a cool place and lovely atmosphere. Thanks so much.

The wizards at Popup Bikes sorted out my loveable but awkward 70's French racer. Amazing service! Kept me in the loop all the way along, and the service was impeccable. It's a great place with fantastic staff, great coffee and delicious snacks. Couldn't recommend highly enough!

Excellent service, great shop to take your bike for repairs or maintenance. superb knowledge of all things bike and well worth the travel from the other side of town.... Thankfully no more Halfords for me now just POP-UP BIKES......... Oh they do a cracking brew aswel as cakes.

Well been a long-term keen cyclist coming across this place was great very welcoming staff VERY pleasant place to go all your cycling needs under one roof and the great. Bit you can sit and chill with a great selection of hot beverages and snacks love going there...

Hip bicycle cafe on the corner of the Green Quarter and NOMA. Nice coffee selection, free wifi, plenty books to read if you're waiting for repairs. You don't *have* to have a bike to come in. Just come for a tea/coffee/cafe/toasties/soup... well you get the idea.

Popup Bikes is the best bike repair store in town. They helped me numerous times and often didn’t even take money for it. The staff is polite and helpful and the store has a special Mancunian atmosphere. You try their services once and you will always come back.

This is a seriously one of the best place for a coffee in Manchester if not in UK. Taste absolutely amazing staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is just great. Have a business meeting there but also going to chill. Highly recommend for coffee lovers ☕️

This place is great! The service is amazing. The repairs are inexpensive and you'll have your bike back by the end the day! The coffee is really very good. These guys really care about what they're doing. I will not be visiting another Bike repair shop again.

This place is absolutely fantastic. Honest, down to earth and reasonably priced. I have used them twice now and have no problem travelling all the way to see the from where I live (45 min walk). Highly recommend both the bike services and the coffee!

I took my 7 year old Specialized Hybrid in because the rear disc brake wasn't working. The problem was diagnosed, bike booked in and repaired. No fuss, good honest advice and a fair price for the work. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough.

Really knowledgable and fantastic staff work here they also have the best coffee in town! Very friendly and fast working! Thank you for fixing my bike. I would give you way more then 5 starts if I could on here ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ …… see you soon

Best bike shop I've ever been to! Everyone is great at what they do, and lovely and friendly as well! Have been several times now including for a bike fitting, and could not recommend them more wholeheartedly, deserve more than 5 stars!

Very very good service got rear tyre puncture fixed. Then had a moment and could get the wheel back on, took it back into the shop and was all sorted for me with no extra cost and great service. Even got a free replacement spring 10/10

Went in here for first time today and was very impressed. Great bike shop! Friendly and knowledgeable staff with very affordable prices. I've not been to any other bike shops in Manchester, but I already know this is the best one!

Best bike shop I've ever been lucky enough to take a bike into. Spectacularly great service from the team. Super lovely staff. Great coffee! Absolutely can't fault the place. Good value repairs. Thanks for being so amazing Popup!

I can't recommend them more. They're the best in Manchester (probably the whole world!). Seriously, their staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and give great advice on repairs and services, especially regarding costs. Eric :)

Great places just off the city centre. Warm welcome (you can store your bikes inside), good coffee ☕ and cake for £4! Bargain! Collection of interesting older bikes and frames. Workshop in the back. Highly recommended. …

The staff is Extremely helpful and friendly. There are not looking to rip you off like other bikes shops. Plus coffee and toast are really delicious . Nice place to came for advice, repair or just nice place to chill. …

Always have a great experience here. Great knowledgeable staff that are very friendly and you can even get a decent coffee while you wait for your bike to be fixed or upgraded. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my bike needs.

Fantastic experience. I am touring and needed some new parts and my gears were off. They made time for me and figured out the issue with the gears. Super friendly, very helpful, and welcoming. And they have great coffee ☕️

Lovely owner, staff. Enjoyed a sofar sound performance there and it was magical. Cute hidden place and grear select of healthy loose leaf teas. An alternative place to go for a drink with lovely people coming and going ❤️

Really friendly staff with top expertise. The parts I needed were replaced at a much higher quality (for a good price too) along with helpful maintenance advice. The longer opening hours are a big convenience as well.

such lovely and helpful people! always try and source the most sustainable and cheap ways to fix up your bike which is really cool. my bike feels like new after visiting. really cute and cosy location too :) thanks !

Great shop! Really quick turn around on servicing my bike and replacing a snapped brake cable. Really knowledgable staff, very friendly and excellent prices too. Plus I got a good coffee while I dropped off my bike!

The team are super amazing and very friendly. I dealt with Jack with my rather neglected road bike and what a dream it was to have back. Super informative and amazing service received. Great coffee too!

One of (if not) the best experiences I’ve had at a bike shop! So convenient that they are open late into the evenings, and the chap who served me was so helpful and friendly. Highly recommend …

Extremely good value, very knowledgeable, fast, friendly, cool vibe, long opening hours, I can't think what else you could possibly want from a bike repair shop. Even the coffee is excellent.

Suffered a nail through the tyre, messaged online and had a prompt response to bring it in. Bike was looked over, new rim tape, new inner tube and new tyre all sorted. Happy with the help 5*

What a great place went above an beyond my bike is running like a dream and prices are very fair you can even grab something to eat and a drink Thank you guys for a great service …

I thought my bike was headed for the tip but these guys fixed it in less than 30 minutes, great service, really friendly and you can grab good quality coffee while you wait …

Definitely the best bike repair shop in town friendly helpful and welcoming Jack sorted out my wheels quickly the ride is so smooth now and great coffee whilst waiting too!

Great service at this place. Always happy to help you even when they are busy. They are very Knowledgable and always explain what they are doing in detail. Highly recommend

Lovely bike shop, actually interested in fixing bikes not just selling you a new one ! Lovely people in there as well :) bought a new rear wheel to get me to John o groats

Such an amazing little place, really friendly, efficient and quick. Got my bike fix no problem in just a few hours. I won't go anywhere else in future five stars …

Very good service in reasonable price very good attitude especially sir Bikash. Percent Recommended this shop for your bike repairs Thank you so much Pop Bikes. …

Honestly the best coffee I’ve EVER had! The staff and lovely vibes have made me a regular customer here. Thank you for being so friendly and for the great coffee !

New bike day. Absolutely over the moon. 5* service, professional, straightforward and have everything you need. Including a cracking cup of coffee.

Took my bike for brakes to be sorted all done and staff friendly and nice coffee Great bike shop always busy as they do a good job well done

Really cool place for an excellent coffee, especially but not exclusively, if you are a cycling fan. Service is really good and friendly.

Fantastic coffee, lovely hot chocolate and the friendliest service in town. Not to mention the best selection of fresh tea you’ve seen.

These guys are amazing. So helpful, great prices, and the opening hours fit perectly with communiting into the city centre for work.

Hands down the best bike shop in Manchester. Great value for repairs and top customer service. Shoutout to the coffee too …

Great coffee spot. Community vibes and chill tunes. I stop here whenever I'm free in Manchester. Legendary local biz

Awesome place. Friendly, helpful, trustworthy. Used these folks a couple of times now. They even make a good brew.

Great place, had a front wheel based crisis and they sorted me quickly and at a good price. Recommended.

Best bike shop in town. Super helpful and friendly staff, quick repairs, good prices and amazing coffee

How can a place that is so passionate about bikes mange to make the best hot chocolate in the city.

Very helpful and friendly bike shop, reasonable and reliable. Couldn’t recommend any more!

Top notch coffee, cracking toasties, great bike service. A little gem!

Best cafe/bike repair shop in manchester!
