 Buying your bike from us |
Please note that to buy a Trek or Gary Fisher cycle you must be able to visit the shop in person.
“Trek Bicycle Corporation does not authorize our retailers to sell new or used Trek product over the internet or by mail order. Delivery should only be made to you at an authorized Trek retail location. This is for your safety. We want to make sure that your bicycle is properly assembled, properly adjusted, and is the right size for you. We also want to make sure that you receive your owner’s manual and consumer literature. Your dealer will also explain how to properly use your bike and answer any questions or concerns you may have.” We think this is a good policy, for it means that you will receive good advice about the bike that's right for you, and take home an expertly serviced bike. Every bike we sell is not only fully assembled but serviced to a very high standard. As an illustration, we even remove the tyres and inner tubes so the wheels are properly dished and trued.
We also offer excellent after sales service, to include a second free service 6-8 weeks after the purchase of the bike.
This standard of service and peace of mind is all included in the price of the bike, and is not something that can be matched by mail order or internet sales. |

If we don't have in stock the bike you want, we can order any cycle in the Trek and Gary Fisher Collection ranges. So, for example, if you like the look of the superior quality Trek children's bikes, just get in touch.
We can also get hold of parts, accessories and clothing from numerous top brands, so even if we don't currently have it, we can get it! |

About Us
Hello and welcome to Ken Ellerker Cycles’ website. We want to give you the opportunity to experience service from a real bike shop, rather than the faceless chains that seem to dominate today’s markets.
Established in 1956, we service the needs of Hull and East Yorkshire's cycling community, both on and off road. Not only do we provide an extensive range of equipment, but also a wealth of knowledge and service that is the envy of the cycle trade.
We stock a huge selection of accessories and equipment to cater for any style of cycling. Road, cross country, down hill, jump, BMX, touring, triathlon, fitness or commuting, we do it all. A large showroom houses the best brands in cycling, and a well equipped workshop takes care of all of your servicing needs. Please note that we stock more than we can manage to put on our website.
56% of the UK population is female, yet most of the cycle trade is biased towards men. To this end, we endeavour to stock a large range of ladies equipment to help redress the imbalance. Trek have an excellent range of women specific bikes, denoted by the acronym WSD, and we also stock a good range of clothing and accessories.

Brian Ellerker is the owner of the business and has worked from the ripe old age of 14, first for his father, Ken, before taking over the business and running it to this day. His youthful looks disguise the hard work that he has dedicated to training his staff to give the best service possible, sharing his experience and teaching us all there is to know about cycling.
Daren Smith is the manager, and has been here at Ken Ellerker Cycles for 25 years. In that time he has a history in road racing, time-trialling and mountain bike racing. More recently he is to be found on the start line of triathlons (which he puts down to a mid life crisis!). Despite the advancing years, he is still able to knock out the odd sub 21 minute, 10 mile time trial and has managed a succession of top 30 finishes in triathlon events. Skills include NVQ Advanced level 3 mechanics and advanced wheel building. He is a RockShox Service Technician, and has worked, on the odd occasion, as a service mechanic for both amateur and professional races. Should you require any assistance regarding club matters, sponsorship or just general cycling queries, get in touch with Daren through the CONTACT page.
Phil Matson specialises in Freeride and Downhill, with a knowledge span of over 20 years (minus 10 weeks when he broke his arm!). He can be found most weekends hanging onto his Session 88 looking cooler than a cucumber in an ice-cream factory. There is not a lot this tall, dark and handsome (thanks for the fiver) chappie doesn't know about shox, knobbles and travel, just don't ring too early in a morning as we are finding his confidence for 10 foot drop offs comes from serious nights of therapy in the local! He says he is quite renowned for breaking Kona's.
Lee Smith has a long history in cycling. He can be found touring Yorkshire’s country lanes on his titanium cross bike, or pounding up and down the hills on his mountain bike, both with a smile on his face and joy in his heart! Lee has a deep passion for all things cycling. Bordering on “geek” status, he has an expansive knowledge whether it be mountain, road or cross bikes, and has worked in the industry for over ten years.
He has also achieved NVQ/Cytec Level 2 mechanics.
John Ellerker is the son of the boss and therefore the only one who can attempt to tell his dad what to do! John is our I.T. man. This means he has a number of thankless tasks, including keeping the website updated! He does however unstintingly send out your internet orders with great speed and attention to detail. As for his cycling experience, there isn’t anywhere this boy goes without a bike, be it to Sainsbury’s for the Sunday roast or scaling the dizzy heights of the Col du Tourmalet.
