Yes, we produce a limited number of bikes each year. We release these in batches 3 times per year. Once a batch is sold out, it won’t come back into stock until the next batch is produced.

Our emphasis on doing things properly means we prioritise quality over mass production. Our reputation for producing some of the highest quality bikes that are built to last is very important to us. This is at the core of what we’re about.

For the above reasons, our bikes are available on limited release.

Due to the limited release and high demand for our bikes, our bikes can sell out quickly. We recommend signing up for our stock notifications on the product page to make sure you are first to know when the bike you woud like comes back into stock. 

Availability can vary based on the model and demand. We release bikes in batches 3 times per year. This means that the bike you want can come back into stock just 3 times per year.

No, we stick to our core colour palette. We keep to timeless and understated tones that age well and compliment the form of our bikes. You can view these on the individual product pages on our website. 

Colour and design is very important to us, and we’re immensely proud of our distinguished and timeless colour palette. It’s what we’ve become known for over the years and we couldn’t be happier. 

You might see photos or videos of bikes in colours that aren’t available to order. This is because they are either discontinued colours or previous limited editions that won’t be available again.

Yes, our bikes are designed for easy setup. They arrive mostly assembled, with a few simple steps required to get riding. We also provide an Assembly Guide for assistance.

Temple Cycles takes great pride in the craftsmanship and quality of our bicycles, which are produced in two key locations. Our higher-end models are meticulously built in Bristol, UK, where we focus on detailed workmanship and ultra-high quality. This Bristol facility is where our most premium bikes come to life, embodying the pinnacle of our design and engineering expertise.

For our other models, we have a dedicated workshop in Portugal. This facility allows us to combine skilled craftsmanship with efficient production processes, ensuring that each bike meets our high standards of quality and design. The Portuguese workshop plays a crucial role in allowing us to offer a wider range of bikes, catering to various needs and preferences of our customers.

By operating in these two distinct locations, we are able to maintain a balance between artisinal batch production and efficient, scalable manufacturing. This approach ensures that all Temple bikes, regardless of where they are made, uphold our commitment to quality, durability, and timeless design.

You can find out more about how we produce our bikes here.

Absolutely. Temple bikes are designed with timelessness in mind, both in style and durability. We believe in creating bikes that endure, both functionally and aesthetically. As your bike ages, it's likely to gain character and charm, turning into a vintage piece that stands the test of time. The idea is that a Temple bike isn't just a purchase; it's an investment that can be cherished for generations, potentially becoming a cherished vintage item that holds both sentimental and practical value.

We want to ensure you love your new Temple bike.

Therefore, we now offer a 30-day test period on bike purchases to give you the time to get out on your favourite ride and make sure that you’re happy with your new bike.

All we ask is that apart from the expected wear and tear from a test ride, there is no other damage.

Should you wish to return your bike within the 30-day test period for any reason, you can start the process here.

We’ve kept things nice and simple. Our bikes are separated by distinct categories to suit different riding styles. Once you know which category you’d like, simply choose based on your budget or style preferences.

Our website offers detailed descriptions and specifications for each model to help you decide. You can also contact us for personalised advice.

It’s important to choose the right size, that’s why we’ve made it as simple and clear as possible.

Each model has an easy “size guide” that you can refer to. This will be accessible by clicking on the “size guide” button on the product page.

We also have an overview “size guide” page which you can find in the navigation.

If you're still unsure, feel free to contact us with your measurements for a recommendation.

At Temple, we understand that each rider is unique, which is why we offer a curated selection of customisation options. After you've selected your dream bike and added it to your shopping cart, you'll discover an array of choices to personalise your ride. This includes a variety of thoughtfully designed accessory add-ons to enhance your cycling experience. Please note that these are the only customisation options available. 

While we once offered fully bespoke bicycles in our earlier days, our growth has led us to focus on producing superior-quality bikes in carefully planned batches. This shift means we no longer provide full custom builds or extensive customisation. However, rest assured that each Temple bike is meticulously designed with versatility and the needs of most cyclists in mind. Our streamlined approach ensures that, while the options may be simpler, they are no less thoughtful or tailored to the modern rider’s requirements.

You might see photos or videos of bikes in colours that aren’t available to order. This is because they are either discontinued colours or previous limited editions that won’t be available again.

However our core colour palette is timeless and perfectly complements the overall aesthetics of our bikes.

Temple's commitment to sustainability is deeply rooted in our approach to bicycle design and manufacturing. We want our bikes to become vintage.

A key aspect of this is our use of 100% recycled steel for all our bike frames. This choice not only reduces waste but also significantly lowers the environmental impact compared to using new raw materials. Additionally, at the end of their life, our bike frames can be fully recycled, further minimizing environmental footprints.

Our bikes are designed for longevity, reducing the need for frequent replacements and thereby diminishing waste. We also focus on ensuring that our bikes are easy to service. By designing components that can be readily maintained and replaced, we extend the lifespan of each bike, further contributing to sustainability. This approach not only makes our bikes more durable but also more user-friendly, as cyclists can easily keep their bikes in top condition.

Incorporating these practices, we contribute to a circular economy where products are used for as long as possible, then recycled at the end of their lifecycle. This commitment to durability, serviceability, and recyclability reflects our dedication to a sustainable future and responsible cycling culture.

At Temple, we actively promote cycling as an accessible, enjoyable, and inclusive activity, moving away from the often elitist focus on high performance and intense fitness regimes. Our approach is about inspiring a love for cycling in its most authentic and freeing form.

We regularly organise "ride-outs," inviting people from all walks of life to experience the joy and liberation of cycling. These events are designed not just for seasoned cyclists, but for anyone interested in exploring the world on two wheels, demonstrating the simplicity and pleasure of cycling.

Our signature event, the "Temple Campout," exemplifies our commitment to fostering a cycling community. Here, we take 70-100 people on a weekend adventure filled with cycling, camping, and communal cooking. This experience is about more than just cycling; it's about building connections, enjoying the outdoors, and celebrating the simple joys of life on a bike.

Furthermore, our marketing efforts are geared towards promoting cycling as a daily activity. Through our campaigns, we aim to encourage more people to take up cycling and to do it more frequently. By showcasing cycling as a fun, environmentally friendly, and health-promoting activity, we strive to make it a more integral part of people's lives.

Yes, you can recycle Temple products. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in the fact that a majority of the materials used in our products, such as steel and aluminium, are recyclable. We design our bikes and components with the environment in mind, ensuring that approximately 95% of them can be recycled, repaired, or repurposed at the end of their lifecycle.

Additionally, we are actively engaged in finding solutions for recycling or repurposing e-bike batteries, a crucial aspect of our environmental responsibility. This approach not only minimizes waste but also aligns with our goal of contributing to a more sustainable and eco-friendly cycling industry.

While we are proud of our sustainable practices, we acknowledge that there is always room for improvement. At Temple, we understand that perfection in sustainability is a continuous journey, not a destination. We are constantly exploring new methods and innovative approaches to enhance the eco-friendliness of our products and operations. Our commitment to this path means actively seeking ways to reduce our environmental impact even further. We believe in transparency and growth, and we're dedicated to evolving our practices to achieve an even greater level of sustainability.

Temple predominantly utilises packaging materials that are both eco-friendly and practical, reflecting our commitment to sustainability. Our packaging choices include:

• Corrugated Cardboard: Sourced from recycled materials, this forms the primary packaging for our products, offering robust protection while being environmentally responsible.
• Recycled Paper and Card Jiffy Bags: These are used for smaller items, ensuring safety during transit and aligning with our recycling ethos.
• Recycled Plastic Protection Bags: A necessary component for certain parts, these bags are made from recycled plastic. We're continually working to reduce our use of plastic packaging and have successfully reduced it by 65% since 2015.
• Non-Recycled Protective Foam: Used minimally in our bike boxes, this foam offers additional protection for the bikes during shipping. We strive to keep its usage to the bare minimum.
• Recyclable Plastic Dropout Mounts: These are essential for ensuring the safety of bikes during transportation and are fully recyclable.

Our packaging strategy is a balance between protecting our products effectively and minimizing environmental impact. We are continuously exploring ways to further reduce our use of plastics and increase the sustainability of our packaging materials.
