Welcome to your local workshop and bike shop. We fix bikes quickly, stock a wide range of family cargo and electric bikes, and have helmets, kids’ bikes and accessories ready to go. Book online or just pop in.
We sort punctures, new tyres, brake pads, gears and full services. Puncture repairs are usually done while you wait – £20 including a new inner tube, or £15 if you bring just the wheel.
For bigger jobs you can book online, but for small fixes and emergencies there’s no need to call first – just drop by during opening hours.
If you’re looking for a practical way to get around London with kids or shopping, a cargo e-bike is worth a try. We’re a North London dealer for
Tern (GSD, HSD, Quick Haul and Quick Haul Long),
Veloe Multi & Lungo,
Estarli,
Muli and Bike43.
You can test ride them straight from the shop – the hill outside is perfect for seeing what they can really do.
We keep a proper range of children’s bikes in stock – from balance bikes to lightweight models by Woom, Early Rider, Marin and Ridgeback. Bring your child in to try them out and get the right size.
There’s also a good choice of kids’ helmets in different sizes, colours and budgets. It’s easiest to come in and try them on so you leave with something safe and comfortable that your child is happy to wear.
In store you’ll usually see Marin, Tern, Estarli, Early Rider and more. We can also supply Surly, Cinelli, Enigma, Brother and other boutique brands. Accessories range from lights (sets from £12) and mudguards to racks, panniers, locks, child seats and plenty more.

Our full bike service costs £95 and includes diagnosis, work on the gears, brakes, all other major moving parts, etc. Many other shops have this priced as a “premium” service. The cost of any new parts will be added on, including chains, cassettes, cables and brake pads (from £5).
Repairs range from £10 to fix brakes or gears. If your bike requires more or less repairing, we will tell you when we assess it and provide a quote before we start the work. We understand that everyone has a budget to work to. If you don't have an appointment, just pop by and we'll try to help
Flat tyre? No problem. Just pop into the shop and we will fix your flat tyre for just £15. No need to call ahead or book. We also have new tyres and inner tubes if you need them of all sizes.
Join the Butternut Cycling Collective to make friends and join group rides! All levels and types of bikes are welcome, the point is to have fun, get out cycling and share tips and routes. Follow us on Instagram @ButternutBikesCC or drop us a line for the WhatsApp group link.
You can book online for your repairs now, and that's the best way to do it. We don't go ahead with any repairs before talking to you, but if you want an idea of what needs doing, just come down with your bike any time and we'll give you a quote.
We’ll check over brand new bikes with snagging issues (a common problem with bikes bought from large retailers or online) and show you some hints and tips. A really worthwhile thing to do when you've got a new bike.
Our shared passion for bikes is what got us into this lucky position of opening Crouch End’s bike repair shop. With our vast and varied background, with experience in high street and independent bike shops, bike companies and cycling advocacy, and will work hard to get you out reaping the many benefits of cycling as quickly, safely and enjoyably as possible.
As a new and independent bike shop opening during the first Covid-19 lockdown in 2020, we are working hard to secure spare parts, accessories and other necessities and quickly as possible - even with widespread delays and shortages. We intend to keep our prices fair and competitive, while staying true to our mission to ensure every bike we fix rolls out the doors safely, comfortably and smoothly.
We started as mobile bike mechanics roaming Hornsey and Crouch End during the first Covid-19 lockdown in 2020, and found our first home in Crouch End's lovely Railway Tavern pub. Within weeks, and with much love for the Railway Tavern and our customers, we moved into our Crouch Hill shop.
Our aim is always to get bikes repaired and back to you the same day. It's not always possible depending on what parts are needed, but we try!

Butternut Bikes proudly introduces London’s first compact, German-made Muli Cargo E-bikes—perfect for hills, tight spaces, and versatile lifestyles. Even Gavin, our owner, couldn’t resist ordering one for himself!
Tern is teasing something big on March 25th—could it be a new GSD? While nothing is confirmed, we expect possible Bosch Smart System integration, frame refinements, and a price increase. If previous cycles hold, shipping could start in September, with pre-orders opening soon.
What’s worse than having your bike stolen? Well, not much*, but right up there is having parts of your bike stolen. In London, we are increasingly seeing the theft of handlebars and shifters.
