About Urban Bike Wear & The Mechanics

UrbanBikeWear.com started in December 2012 in Johan's living room with a small selection of cycling clothes and bags for bike commuting. From the beginning, UBW's concept has been to carefully select from the large market and find brands with a lot of soul. Our ambition is to be your niche bike shop where you can feel confident that the assortment is chosen just for you. Urban Bike Wear also brought the Bicycle Film Festival to Stockholm in 2013 at Debaser Medis and in 2014 to Arktes. In connection with the 2013 festival, we also organized Stockholm Bike Fest at Medborgarplatsen, Björn's Garden, Åsötorget, and Debaser Medis, an event with over 3000 visitors.

Today we have a wide range of cycling clothes and bags from Chrome Industries, Bagaboo, Endura, Swrve, and more. Brands that meet our quality standards and are used by high-performing cyclists worldwide.

Our focus areas are Fixed gear, Single speed, Road, Gravel, and Bikepacking. The latter is a segment we are particularly fond of, and we are happy to help you find the right bike, bags, or equipment for your bikepacking adventure. For the urban fixed gear and single speed cyclist, we have many messenger bags and stylish clothes that withstand heavy wear and tear.

When we opened our physical bike shop “Urban Bike Wear & The Mechanics” in 2015, we began working with bike manufacturers such as Cinelli, Genesis Bikes, Brother Cycles, Surly, Bombtrack, Salsa, and others. Both for their approach to quality and their focus on making cycling fun. At Tjärhovsgatan 14, we also got more space, so we started importing Chris King, Runwell, Izumi, Vision, Nitto, MKS, Restrap, Dia-Compe, Velo Orange, White Industries, and other more niche brands that we love.

We are here to guide you through the bike jungle: call us at 08-533 327 05, drop by the shop, or send us an email at info@urbanbikewear.com if you are looking for something we don’t have online. In our workshop, we custom build bikes and wheels, so normally we can always help you find your desired bike parts or help you build your dream bike.
