A Different Gear

A Different Gear is Sheffield’s only community-owned bike shop and workshop.
Being community-owned, our customers are at the heart of everything we do, from excellent customer service to professional workshop repairs, servicing and advice.

Our staff team are passionate about riding bikes and we want to share our love of cycling with you, whether you’re planning on riding around the world or riding to the shops with your kids. Our cytech-qualified mechanics will keep your bike on the road, no matter how long your journey is.

Focusing on adventure, utility and e-cargo, we only stock products and brands that we believe in and use ourselves so you can be confident that we’re providing well-informed and trusted expertise.
If you fancy embarking on your cycling adventure we’ll even help you plan a route and loan you some bikepacking kit to get started.

As well as stocking a range of new bike brands – including Salsa, Kona, Kinesis, Tern, Larry vs Harry and Urban

Arrow – we also run an e-cargo bike loan scheme and a bike recycling scheme.

We are owned and managed by local community anchor, Heeley Trust, and all of the profit we make is invested back into the Trust’s community projects. We aim to make cycling as accessible to as many people as possible, no matter what your budget allows.
