Bikemonger

Bikemonger is a brilliant Ripon stop for dog owners who also happen to be bike people, or at least travelling with one. This independent shop has relocated its high street base to Ripon and specialises in bikepacking, fatbiking, cycle touring, single speeding and the kind of cycling kit that tends to spark very enthusiastic conversations. There are bikes, parts, accessories and handbuilt wheels, so it is much more than a quick pop-in for a tube.

For visitors exploring Ripon with a dog, it is a good add-on stop during a town mooch, especially if one human wants coffee and the other wants to stare lovingly at bikes. Functional, specialist and cheerfully niche, with strong “we’re only looking” energy that nobody fully believes.
