Bells bicycles-49 high street-01424-443033



At Bell’s we believe in having an adventure every day. Whether you are by the sea, in the countryside or in town, for leisure or pleasure, have fun on your bicycle, avoid the traffic jams and cut a dash.
We love bicycles. The super fast fixed wheel track bikes of the 40’s, the ultra elegant Dutch loop frame of the 20’s and the simple town bikes made in the 70’s/80’s. These are the machines that have inspired us, for their style, their engineering, their sheer panache. At Bell’s we search the UK and abroad for bicycles, most have been pre-owned and loved, whilst others are rescued by us and restored.

Even the names of these bicycles conjure up another world- the Hero Royale, the Raleigh Caprice, Cameo Classic, Carlton Reynolds, the Auto-Mini. Not to mention our new range of stunning Pashley cycles which go by the names of Sonnet Pure, Princess Sovereign and Poppy.

For Bell’s, a bicycle is a work of art as well as a form of transport, each bicycle is different, and each has its own place in the distinguished and engaging history of British cycling.
Located in the Old Town of Hastings, just a few minutes by the sea, in a panelled 18th century shop(originally the local greengrocers), a trip to Bell’s bicycles can be combined with fish and chips, a stroll (or even a bike ride) by the sea, as far as the West Marina, where the official road ends, and a rough track (cyclable) takes you all the way to Bexhill.
You can visit Bell’s from Wednesday to Sunday, 11am – 5pm at 49 High St, Hastings. TN34 3EN.

The brand name was created (Bébé Jour is French for Baby Day - Day is our surname) and the first shop opened soon after. We carefully sourced all of our products one by one - from basics to luxury items, and it wasn’t long before the shop was bustling with happy customers. Due to the overwhelming success of the business in the first 6 months of trading, Bébé Jour was able to expand into larger premises and extend its range to include toys, accessories and toiletries.



The same dedication to quality and choice is available in-store or online and we are confident we will meet all of your requirements, whether it be for your own children, or shopping for a loved one’s child, we are sure we have everything that you will need.
