Cycling Express Experiences

Hi everyone,

Just doing a shop around online and found the Cycling Express website.

Are they based in Australia? Haven't heard much about them.

Are they any good?

It had already been mentioned in here.

Was hoping for something a bit more recent. Seems that thread is a few years old.

I ordered a Castelli vest from them a few months back as they had quite a good price. No complaints as I received it in less than a week. If you use the code CELOVESU12 looks like you get 12% off as well.

One transaction, no problems.

Disclaimer: it WAS before they took their ops offshore.

The other Cycling Express thread has had a long life span.

In short, they started in Australia and retain strong connection with this country though are located offshore. I understand that they note that technically you wont incur any import fees. I met and interviewed the company founder last year so you can get a bit more info in that article: https://www.bicycles.net.au/2015/05/cyc ... -retailer/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

For your peace of mind you could contact them (e.g. email) and make a decision based on their response time and quality of the reply.

Hello.
I purchased a Serfas TSL-S500 front light from bicycle express around 70 dollars, which is a good price.I did need to get a UK/Aust adaptor for another 10er. As above, not super quick.Am happy with the product and service.
