A bike shop and workshop in Bow, E3
Aztecs Bikes is an independent bike shop and workshop at 4 Corsican Square in Bow, one minute on foot from Devons Road DLR and a short ride from Canary Wharf, Mile End and Stratford. We started in a living room in 2021 and were named Independent Bike Dealer of the Year in 2025.
Everything is done in house by Cytech 2 mechanics. That covers bike repair and servicing on road, gravel, hybrid and electric bikes, and hand-built wheels laced and tensioned on the bench. We also run free group rides that leave from the shop.
We sell a considered range of bikes rather than everything, and we are a registered retailer for every major Cycle to Work scheme. Come in with a question, and you will leave knowing more about your bike than when you arrived.
Bike servicing, three levels

“This is the best bike repair shop in the local area. There are other places that will charge you less, for sure. But nowhere else will you find such attention to detail, helpful advice, and transparency.”Jack Tye Wilson, Google review

Free group rides from Bow
Ride with Aztecs
Most of our rides leave from the shop at 4 Corsican Square and come back to it. They are free, open to every level, and there is nothing to sign.
Commuters, weekend riders and a few people who race all ride together. Bring the bike you already own and a helmet, and we will sort out the rest.
