About Bateman's Bike Co.

We acknowledge that Bateman’s Bicycle Company operates on the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. 

Bateman's Bicycle Company currently operates two locations in Toronto:

The Bateman's Trail Shop at 49 Laird Drive is your hub for all things MTB. Located next to the legendary Don Valley Trail System, Bateman's Trail Shop features an unrivalled inventory of mountain bikes, mountain bike specific accessories, apparel, protective gear, parts, components, and more!

In addition to our impressive showroom, the Bateman's Trail Shop features a full service mountain bike repair shop. Our service team includes some of the best mountain bike techs in the province, with decades of experience in high-end mountain bike repair.

Bateman's City + Road is located at 960 Bathurst Street in Toronto. Bateman’s on Bathurst specializes in all thing's city, with a core road bike program along with carefully curated products meeting the needs of urban and road cyclists. Whether you're a daily commuter, or a weekend racer, Bateman's City + Road has your pavement cycling needs covered!

Bateman's has operated in the Annex for nearly 15 years! We're proud to continue offering professional, consistent & quality service to keep you on the road. We know what it means to be able to trust those who sell and service your bikes! 


Our History 

We opened in the Annex on Barton Avenue in June, 2008 with the goal of meeting the needs of Toronto cyclists and the desire to do so in the friendliest and most professional way possible. In March 2011, we expanded our "historic" repair shop. We restored an Annex barn beside the shop that dates back to 1886, and according to a “local legend”, it is quite possible that the very space where your bikes are being nursed back to health is the same space where the first ever Polio vaccine was discovered!

It didn't take long for us to begin to stretch the seams at the expanded shop, and it quickly became apparent that we had outgrown this space as well.

In 2012 we opened a second Annex location! The new 2,000 sq/ft store opened on February 25th 2012, just up Bathurst, at the location of the former Bathurst Cycle bike shop. We were approached by the owner of Bathurst Cycle, who expressed his plans to retire. Following lengthy consideration, it was decided that this much larger, nearby location was the right fit for us, and Bateman's will now have more products, new brands and a larger service area to serve you with.

In 2015 we let our Barton Avenue location go and moved our bike rental & spin studio into a new location across the street from our main store. At the 960 Bathurst Street location, we offered indoor cycling classes in the winter and a full scale rental shop during the warmer seasons. We renovated 960 Bathurst and it became our dedicated Service Department in early 2021.

In December 2021 we will be shut the doors at 913 Bathurst and expanded our retail and service space directly across the street on the West side at 960 Bathurst. Our already awesome location received an upgrade to serve you better. In addition, we opened our new Mountain Bike Shop in Leaside located at 49 Laird Drive called Bateman's Trail Shop in Spring 2022. Bateman’s Trail Shop is a mountain bike specific shop, the first of its kind in the GTA! By listening to our customers and adapting to industry trends, we feel that there is an opportunity for a space dedicated to this growing sport. Our roots run deep in the mountain bike community and we intend to follow our passion all the while providing the best mountain bike retail experience around.


So, here we are.  We started off small, very small, and now we are still small but just a little bit bigger and still growing.

So why does all this matter? Well, we pride ourselves on offering professional, consistent and quality service. Yeah, yeah, you've heard it before. But what makes us different is that we actually care because we've all been there ourselves. As avid cyclists, from mountain bikers to road racers, to commuters, to cycling enthusiasts of all shapes and sizes, we know what it means to be able to trust the guys that sell you and service your bikes.

Thank you for choosing Bateman's Bicycle Company.
