About us

Darke Cycles was established in September 1982 in Fulwell, Sunderland during the BMX boom. The store was extremely popular and after only one year, we moved to larger premises. In 1989, we were asked by Raleigh to move to the Town Centre and since then we have experienced rapid growth. We moved three more times within Sunderland Town Centre, as the town made way for a new Cinema Complex and Bowling Alley, and have now been at our current location at 1 John St, Sunderland for more than 10 years. We offer a wide range of servicing and repairs for all brands of bikes, E-bikes, Revvi's and Bromptons at our store. We can also fit parts purchased on line. We can do all repairs from minor adjustments to removing seized seat posts.
