About Us
Drake's Cycles was first opened by Maurice Drake in 1951, selling both cycles and mopeds in the early days. Maurice's son John would later take over the business in 1964 and in 1967 the mopeds were discarded to fully concentrate on cycles only.
As the cycle trade got busier and busier throughout the 70's, Drake's recruited mechanic Graham in 1978, who later became shop manager and is still with us today.
Drake's would become a five star Raleigh dealer in 1980 and was one of Leeds' busiest shops selling the legendary Raleigh Burner BMX range, the Carlton racing bike range, and continuing from the 70's the Raleigh racing bikes, supplyers of bikes to the Tour de France team...Team Ti Raleigh.
However, it was the mountain bike boom of the late 80's that would force a move to much larger premises down the road in 1993, allowing many more bikes to be kept and displayed, and a much bigger range of accessories. A further extension of the shop was completed in the winter of '98/'99 to help cater for new brands such as GT, Mongoose, Diamondback, Dawes, Saracen, and most recently, Scott.
With a staff of four full time and one part time, and over 600 bikes in stock and a massive range of accessories we are one of the busiest bike shops in Leeds , displaying toddlers' trikes all the way up to top end mountain and road bikes. This together with our strong focus on customer service means many of our customers have been returning to Drake’s for years.
