Of course, we love bikes. So, it’s with this love that we’ve chosen our brands that we represent carefully. We’re a small shop with a small showroom, so we’ve had to find the brands that we love the most and that work well for us. Whether you ride for recreation or transportation, we have a wide range of bikes to suit your needs. We proudly carry bikes from: Rocky Mountain, Surly, Electra, Opus, Dahon, Bobbin, Linus, Pashley and Brompton.

We’re here to make sure you love your bike. We also want to make buying a bike enjoyable and relaxing. We’ll talk to you and find out what your needs are, and help you choose the bike that fits you and will do what you want, whether it’s leisurely riding on the Galloping Goose, cross country riding at the Hartland Landfill, or commuting 20K to work each day. If it’s the first time you’ve ever been on a bike and you’re 60, that’s okay, too – we can find something you feel secure on while you enjoy the ride. Below are our suppliers; there’s something for everyone.

Used bikes are also a part of North Park. We acquire most of our stock through folks trading in their old bike for a nice, shiny new one. Our stock fluctuates regularly, so call or e-mail us or come on by to see what we have that can get you on the road for less. Take a look, too, at our used bikes page to see if there’s anything that might tickle your fancy.

Rocky Mountain – Our flagship line, Rocky Mountain delivers high end mountain, road, and commuting bikes. They have been making bikes for the rigors of BC riding since 1981, and on top of making great products, we’ve found that they stand behind the bikes that they sell. a
Opus – New for us in 2012, this Canadian company rolls out a great array of bikes – city, touring, road – well spec’d, nicely priced and great to look at. Also, with a stellar kids’ line: adult quality in a small package.	a
Xtracycle Radish – The Radish is a rock-solid steel framed bike that is comfy and tenacious… pack it up with whatever you need – the ultimate grocery-getter and fitness-program all in one! Ditch your car.
Miele – The sister company of Rocky Mountain, we sell their great kids’ bikes, from 12″ to 24″ wheel size. The Torino and Margherita, both available in 20″ and 24″ versions, are great ‘little hybrids’ for the budding rider; lighter, more upright, with more efficient tires. a
Electra – Electra Townies are our best seller. They have a comfortable “foot forward” position, which keeps the rider upright, comfortable, and safe. Electra also makes a wide selection of eye-catching cruisers, as well as their take on the Dutch classic, the Amsterdam, the drop-dead gorgeous Ticino, and their latest addition, Verve, their hybrid.	a
a Surly – For those who want high quality, no-frills bikes, we carry Surly. In handmade steel, from their Long Haul Trucker, a fixture among touring riders, to their Big Dummy “longtail” cargo bike, Surly delivers bikes that are brilliantly thought out and dependable. We sell their completes, as well as their frames. We also often do custom builds. a
Brompton – The supreme folding bicycle. The only other English bike still made on British soil besides Pashley, we are pleased to bring in the best folding bike on the market to Victoria, BC. Not just for packing up on your boat, this bike is an urban superstar – made to get you there efficiently and in style. It can fold up under your desk at work (no more rebuttals from employers saying you can’t bring your bike inside!), travel on the bus or plane, or discreetly pop it under your table while going out for a meal downtown. a
Pashley – Victoria, B.C. has been called the most European city in BC, so it’s no surprise that these stylish and comfortable European city bikes are a hit here. They’re handmade in England, and feature built-in lights, Brooks leather saddles, and other options that make them perfect for a ride by the seaside or around the park. Like all good royalty, it’s regal and classic style will be around for another century.
Bobbin – Ever-British, the classic, sassy and zippy Bobbin continues to weave the European thread through our bike brands. It makes for efficient city riding while allowing a certain nostalgia for days gone, all at a stylish price.
Dahon – New for us in 2012 is the Dahon folding bike line. Complementing the Brompton, the Dahon offers a handful of options at a pleasant price.
