Ibis Cycles, the renowned Californian bicycle manufacturer, has recently appointed Tweed Valley Bikes as its new sales agent for the UK and Ireland. This strategic partnership aims to enhance Ibis’s presence and support within these markets.
Tweed Valley Bikes: A Trusted Partner
Established in 2020, Tweed Valley Bikes has rapidly become one of the UK’s most respected independent bike shops. Their extensive experience in mountain and e-bike sectors, coupled with a strong commitment to quality, aftercare, and customer service, aligns seamlessly with Ibis’s ethos. Their firsthand understanding of sustainable business growth and the local market positions them well to support Ibis’s dealer network across the UK and Ireland.
Expanded Responsibilities
Beyond sales, Tweed Valley Bikes will oversee all marketing activities in the UK and Ireland. This includes launching a UK-focused website and expanding the demo fleet and program, with the goal of providing dealers access to these resources before the end of 2026. Ibis’s distribution model remains unchanged; bikes and parts will continue to ship directly from their headquarters in the USA to UK and Irish dealers, ensuring retailers have direct access to the complete Ibis product lineup. For in-stock bikes, shipping remains at five to seven working days, with air freight from California to UK dealers to maintain competitive pricing.
Statement from Tweed Valley Bikes
Janey Kennedy, Managing Director of Tweed Valley Bikes, expressed enthusiasm about the strengthened partnership:
“In the years we’ve been working with Ibis, we’ve always been highly impressed with every aspect of what they do. The bikes ride extremely well, are built to a high-quality standard, and the support from Ibis in California has always been above and beyond. We’re really excited to be able to represent them in the UK & Ireland and look forward to seeing more riders enjoying riding Ibis bikes.”
