So, you want to take a bike on a test ride?

We get it—choosing the perfect bike is a big deal, and nothing beats taking it for a spin. At Sam Makes Bikes, we want you to feel completely confident in your choice.

  • 1 - Pick a ride, and reach out

    Browse our collection and once you’ve found a bike you like, get in touch with us. Book a test ride via the form below or contact us on social media.

  • 2 - We'll arrange a time with you

    We'll contact you and coordinate a test ride time that suits you.

    We could meet near your home, or at a nearby public place

  • 3 - Take it for a spin

    We'll come to you with the bikes. You can give it a quick loop around the block or a longer ride along your favorite route. Just bring a valid ID, and we’ll sort out the rest.

  • 4 - Decide with confidence

    If it’s a match made in cycling heaven, we can finalise the purchase then and there. If not, no worries!

A few quick notes:

  • We can only offer test rides in Glasgow for now (but we hope to expand this to the Scottish central belt soon)
  • Please bring a valid ID for the test ride - we'll hold onto this while you go for a cycle
  • We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes for cycling. Be prepared, we can't control the weather 🤷‍♀️
