About The Ark Cycles

The Ark Cycles is an independent bike shop based in Stroud, serving riders across Gloucestershire and the surrounding areas. The Ark Cycles builds on 35 years of heritage established by our forerunner Noah's Cycles. We’re passionate about helping people enjoy cycling more, whether that’s finding the right bike, keeping it running smoothly, or offering honest advice built on real riding experience.

Noah's was best known for its mountain bikes but always stocked a wide variety of bikes with something for everyone. We've built on this and have introduced a full range of electric bikes - electric hybrids, electric road bikes, gravel bikes and e-mountain bikes. With the boom for two wheels showing no signs of slowing, we've been able to grow our business and continue to extend our wide range of bikes. Each year we continue to grow our services, products and amazing team.

As a local business, we pride ourselves on friendly, personal service and building long-term relationships with our customers. When you visit our bike shop, you’ll always speak to someone who cares about getting you out riding with confidence.
