Want to ditch the Tube? Save up to 30% on bikes in Halfords' Black Friday sale

Like many others, both my first bike as a child and my latest wheels as an adult were bought from Halfords.

In fact, Halfords, much like Clarks and the late, great Woolworths, has a place in my heart as a creator of core childhood memories. But it continues to come in clutch for me as an adult, too.

For those not in the know, here are the Halfords basics. The irrefutable market leader when it comes to shopping for all things bicycle- and motor-related, Halfords offers a wide range of well-known brands as well as its own creations, informed by the shopping habits of its own customers.

But, all that to one side, the big news here is Halfords' pre-Black Friday offering. With up to 30 per cent off everything cycling-related (yes, already), Halfords wants Londoners to get on their bike.

Here are the best bike deals piquing my attention right now... and tempting me away from my Santander bike obsession.

Halfords

Classically styled with some vintage appeal, the Pendleton bike might look old-school, but it's got all the mod cons and everyday simplicity that the casual or commuter bike rider is looking for. Ideal for daily, comfortable riding, this bike takes on changing terrain without a second thought, whilst the 700c hybrid wheels open up every journey possibility.

Powered by a 209Wh battery, this ‘Assist Step-Thru Electric Hybrid Bike’ provides up to 20 miles of assistance, making it a perfect and easy choice for slightly hillier or more challenging rides. Plus, with durable steel mudguards and a chainguard, you’re protected from dirt, splashes, and road debris, even with the easy ‘step-through’ frame design.

Okay, you’ve got me – this is technically not a bike. However, it will certainly do a similar job and get you from ‘A’ to ‘B’ in both speed and style. Plus, backed by a 12.8ah battery and 350w motor, this foldable number does its job and does it well... and quickly.

For off-road adventures, this mountain bike will take you from the city to the countryside. Boasting a comfortable memory foam saddle and reinforced tyres to protect from punctures, the bike has 16 gear speeds for every terrain. At less than £400, the bike is a steal for 2027 exploring.
