Established in 1993 by John Moss, Merlin Cycles are one of the longest running online bike stores in the UK. Since our early days we have had an enviable reputation among cyclists for stocking a massive range of cycling equipment and offering it at great prices.Merlin Cycles was initially a mail order business started in June 1993 by John Moss in the spare bedroom of his house in Whittle Le Woods near Chorley. A few months later the company opened a shop premises in Ormskirk, Lancashire. In 1998 Merlin Cycles moved to larger shop premises in Leyland.
