A passion for cycling
BIKE24 is the one-stop shop for the fast-growing community of cycling enthusiasts, promoting green mobility. Founded in 2002, we have evolved from a specialised online retailer in the cycling sector to one of the leading e-commerce platforms in continental Europe with a focus on the premium segment.
With every complete bike, every pedal and every functional jacket that we sell, we contribute to our customers using their bikes more frequently and thereby travelling more sustainably. Our concept for success not only includes our unique product range in terms of depth and breadth – we also score with our customer-friendly service and lightning-fast shipping. Since many of our team members are enthusiastic bikers themselves, we can also offer our customers top expert advice. All this enables us to address the rapidly growing group of everyday cyclists as well as enthusiastic cycling fans.
