British Bicycles and Trikes

Though most of the mass-produced cycles sold in the UK are now made abroad, there is still a good number of successful manufacturers who keep their manufacturing mainly in house and in the UK. These tend to be more specialist suppliers, serving the needs for high-quality, innovative bikes in niches such as folding bikes, load-carrying cycles or high-performance racing, touring or mountain bikes. Others make specialist parts and accessories. Some of the larger companies may employ several hundred staff; there are also a good number of very small companies with just one or two craftsman making custom-made cycles.
