At Bell’s we believe in having an adventure every day. Whether you are by the sea, in the countryside or in town, for leisure or pleasure, have fun on your bicycle, avoid the traffic jams and cut a dash.

Founded and run by Meg Williams-O’Mara, a vintage bike enthusiast, the shop contains an ever-changing selection of bicycles. From the super fast fixed wheel track bikes of the 40’s, the ultra elegant Dutch loop frame of the 20’s to the very simple town bikes made in the 70’s/80’s.

Bell’s is a cornucopia of elegance and engineering. Even the names of these bicycles conjure up another world- the Hero Royale, the Raleigh Caprice, the Cameo Classic.

Bell’s bicycles are sourced from all over the South East and the shop runs an energetic ‘lonely bicycle’ campaign, where pre-loved but now unused vintage bicycles are bought, restored and sold to new owners. You can even find the entire Pashley and Bronx bicycle range at Bell’s, vintage chic with contemporary engineering.

For Bell’s, a bicycle is a work of art as well as a form of transport, each bicycle is different, and each has its own place in the distinguished and engaging history of British cycling.

Located in the Old Town of Hastings, just a few minutes by the sea, in a panelled 18th century shop (originally the local greengrocers), a trip to Bell’s bicycles can be combined with fish and chips, a stroll (or even a bike ride) by the sea, as far as the West Marina, where the official road ends, and a rough track (cyclable) takes you all the way to Bexhill.

Visit Bell’s from Tuesday to Sunday, 10am – 5pm at 4 George Street, Hastings. TN34 3EG.
