do any of these sound like you?

Maybe it's time to give this dream a go...

FREEDOM

I am working but I'd love to be my own boss and I am 100% sick of driving the desk..


PASSION

I would love to earn a healthy living doing something I'd love... there's more to life than this.


FUTURE-PROOFING

To be honest, I am looking at a matter of when not if  AI comes for my job and I am convinced that cycle mechanics will be better future-proofed.

HITTING OVERWHELM

There's just so much to juggle I am struggling to get traction and prove this is a bonafide business idea to those who are invested in me..

One of the biggest questions we get from students is... "but how did you make your bike business work?" 

Dragon Cycles 

The training delivery is first class. Blending theory with practice is immensely beneficial, and online makes it super easy to follow.

TOOL THUMBNAILS ()

for sure cycle systems is unusual

For starters..

We've been in the business for  20 years and have outlasted dozens of competitors.

LONGEVITY + EXPERIENCE

Service Focussed

Secondly, we've made it our mission to NOT sell bikes. We are not interested in selling bikes. Neither did we have the initial capital to invest in selling bikes. Plus, we'd been around the headaches involved with selling bikes first hand (and we weren't interested in dealing with them.)

impeccable services

They call us Systems ....

Thirdly, we did what we are good at, which is to create and build systems that allowed us to be lean, mean and scaleable with our repair services. From this, we built a viable business that would help us to centre on our labour skills and margins.

EFFICIENT + award-winning

Impact Driven

Right from word go it's been important to us to help people and the planet - both in terms of getting more people on their bikes more often, but also by showing others who are as passionate about bikes as we are, how to go for their dream and replicate the kind of work freedom we have.

Experts in quality

On a mission to source (and help create!) some of the best cycle mechanics in the business, we've also been delivering government accredited maintenance training since 2009.

TRAINING BIKE MECHANICS

cycle systems online courses

Hi!

I'm Sean Lally

Co-founder and Director of Cycle Systems - an innovative cycle tech servicing and education company established in London in 2007 with one aim in mind... to get more people riding their bike, more often.

By now, we've helped hundreds of students and thousands of cyclists in our mission. We've also grown our business exponentially, to the point where we'd love to help you realise your cycle maintenance dreams too. 

INTRODUCING

THE LEAD OUT

Your complete guide to learning how to plan, launch, and wisely steward  your bike maintenance biz to scale - whether that's as a "side hustle" backup, or a fully fledged 100k annual revenue source.

HOW YOU'LL ACHIEVE THIS 

BS IMAGE
To help you get your bike biz off the ground, we've identified the three pillars to a bike maintenance business success, and have devised the Lead Out Mastermind to move you seamlessly through each stage. This is deep, foundational knowledge.

The 3 pillars of your success

INSPIRATION

PILLAR ONE

  • Most people who come to study with us are well and truly sick of handing their power, agency and financial freedom over to another. 
  • And we get it... working "for the man" and taking the knocks of that (including the threat of potential job loss) takes its' toll.  
  • Up until recently though, we are guessing that your career path has been a pretty stable option for you.  It's likely provided for you and your family. (Even though you may have found yourself wondering if there might be more to life? And whether you were also capable of more?) Still your job seemed worth it.
  • Times are changing, however. And if you are here 👋🏻, you may well have decided you want to turn the side hustle plan into a reality (and have it ready to fire up and go NOW, rather than after disaster strikes). Or perhaps that you've truly had enough of working to your employer's tune, and want to get some rocket fuel underneath this bike biz dream ('cos you KNOW you can do this. And... you can.)
  • Whatever you want to build, Pillar One is about the mindset shift that's going to be required of you. No more scrolling and dreaming.
    No more believing that other people do things like this, not you. The Lead Out Mastermind is about action.

Let's change gears. Let's start to move this thing into reality...

GROUNDING THE VISION

PILLAR TWO

  • You've taken the bold step and you've decided to do this. We are now going to show you everything you need to know to get stability and foresight into the picture before you launch.
  • Nobody needs to lose time, or money. In this pillar of business development, we will show you how to get extremely granular and grounded with your vision. 
  • We'll show you what it's gonna take for you personally to get your ambition off the ground. 

Because we've done this, and we know how to help you...

PAVING THE WAY

PILLAR THREE

  • It is absolutely true that there are no promises in the world of business growth.
  • There are rules, however. There are also definitive risks and there is clarity of sight. The third pillar of your success will enable you to understand exactly what you'll need to do to move your business idea to the place you want to get it to. 
  • We'll help you identify if you're going to need help, and who from. 
  • And to leave with a set of documents that will woo any stakeholder you need into believing in this and being willing to invest in it.

Let's get those people who love you believing in this too..

By the end of the Lead Out Mentorship

You will be fully equipped with a Lead Out Bible defining exactly what you need to do to succeed. You will be armed with a complete financial, marketing and operational portfolio that will convince others to take you seriously - including the bank - and assuage any fears you have about how to move forward. You will also have actual paying customers (which, from our experience, is the most persuasive element of all). You will conclude the mastermind with your dream beginning to take hold.

Within your first 2 weeks we'll start you off with a coaching call aimed at specifics - we'll get you planning your study and dialling in your goals. We'll work WITH you - so if you just wanna aim to get your investment in this course back over the next 3 months, then we plan out the "how" together. If you wanna replace your pro income, we'll get into the details about how to make that happen too. If you wanna get to 100k in revenue, we'll work with you to create the steps. 

A Mid-Point 1:1 x 1 hour Accountability Call

PRICING AND SERVICES THAT DON'T LOSE YOU MONEY

If you've ever wondered how you should structure your service offers so as to seem credible to your customers and have them clearly and enthusiastically agree to pay you. 


If you've ever found yourself struggling to put a bike back together after a whole day in the garage when you told the customer the job would take 1-2 hours tops.


If you've ever found yourself bending over backwards without clear guidelines as to when to draw the line when customers get super demanding (and they can).

Then the Little Green Book is for you..

This kind of clarity is a legitimate professional skill that will allow you to be super friendly and helpful towards your customers, whilst also protecting the limits and keeping the margins of your business in tact.


The LGB consists of a selection of real-life PDFs and workshop menus (that we currently use ourselves) and is based upon years of experience in how to get the balance right (and leaves out all the mistakes we made along the way.)


Just follow these pricing menus and templates in your own workshop, and you are good to go. No fluff. Just plain customer-relationship building and business common sense.


COURSE BY COURSE WORKSHOP MENU PRINTABLE PDFs

Designed by the pros - an actual workshop list that we currently used, editable to be tailored to your market, giving you the confidence to offer services. No

PRO WORKSHOP TIPS + DIAGNOSTICS

Ways to know when you are going to go wrong and how to pre-empt it and or manage your customers expectations around it.

TOOL RECOMMENDATIONS

We'll also help you to plan for your tool expansions, whilst bringing cash into your business, so you can expand your offerings in a financially sustainable way.

QUESTIONS OUR BEST STUDENTS OFTEN ASK

An important thing to realise is that the Cycle Systems Lead Out Mastermind is NOT just another online business course. It's insight into a proven bike business SYSTEM, yes. But it's also a nurturing kick up the *ss for all our friendly procrastinators out there. Plus it's a bonafide answer to those who have questions like:

WHAT ARE THE CALL DATES AND STRUCTURE OF THE LEAD OUT?

We will reach out to schedule your first onboarding call after you make your first payment (whether that is a payment plan or a pay in full.) Thereafter, the programme will officially kick off with a group call on Monday 6th October 2026 at 8pm CET. 

You will have until 31st December 2026 to programme in your 1:1 coaching calls - and these will be at a time to suit. You'll get the calendar link when the cohort begins.

The Lead Out online modules are yours to. keep for a lifetime.

I'd like a side hustle but it's not urgent and there's money coming in each month.. Is this for me?

Our honest answer to this question is that  it's not an emergency 'til it's suddenly an emergency, right? Why not get this dialled so you know you have this ready to roll if and when you might need it?

Nobody is expecting you to lose the day job if you don't want to. More, that forewarned is forearmed, and the future may not be as stable as the past. Having this programme in your back pocket may prove to be just the ticket.

Nobody makes money out of bicycles... HOW ON EARTH WILL I?

In truth we have so many graduates who are currently supporting themselves and their families. Our most famous graduate even sold his mobile maintenance company for several million to a large corporate. Here at Cycle Systems we've cleared well over 7 figures to date. Making money from bikes is very much alive and well.

WHAT'S THE POINT IN BECOMING A BIKE MECHANIC WITH AI ROUND THE CORNER READY TO TAKE OVER EVERYTHING?

In fact (and you can ask Chat GPT too!) bike maintenance is a profession that uses fine motor skills, intuitive feel, and a vast working knowledge of bikes and parts - many of which have been around for years and don't have a jot of anything on them that lends itself to plug and play automations.  


These types of skills will almost certainly be the last kinds of human skills to be taken over by robots. We are not saying it is impossible, but the development of this kind of fine dexterity is a seriously long way off, and also a very expensive endeavour. 


Bike mechanics is a decent living. But it will never make you billions. Why would anybody pay for that kind of tech? 


We firmly believe at Cycle Systems that the time is now to build human relationships and to sell human services locally.  In fact, we are passionate that the time is very much now to begin to claim the market share that still exists on your doorstep. 

DOES THE LEAD OUT GET ME A PIONEER FRANCHISE CONTRACT?

Going through the Lead Out Mastermind does not guarantee you a Cycle Systems Pioneer Franchise contract, no. We expect demand for the Franchise scheme to be highly competitive as we are rolling out with only 10 across the UK to begin with. However, this Mastermind is designed to give you a really good grounding and understanding as to whether you want to go ahead with bike mechanics as a business anyway, so it well worth doing as a grounded, foundational experience that will set you well on your way to success whether you buy a franchise or not.  


Furthermore, we will only be accepting Pioneer Franchise applications from our Lead Out graduates. So you will need to do this programme first if a franchise is your goal.


If you sign into a franchise with us however, we will discount the total cost of the Lead Out from the cost of the franchise license. That means your franchise will be £2k cheaper and the entire Lead Out experience would have cost you nothing whatsoever to go through.



The market is flooded already... HOW WILL I STAND OUT?

Cycling is a massive market and it is growing exponentially. A simple google search will provide you with so much evidence for the business case for investing in cycling.

SURELY IT'S BETTER TO KEEP MY MONEY IN THE BANK FOR A RAINY DAY?

Honestly it is completely up to you how you choose to invest. And there may well be better ideas out there. But having your money stay static? All walled up with nowhere to go? Our philosophy is  that resources need to be moved (wisely) in order to create, and we'll show you exactly how to make your investment in this programme right back too.

I AM ALREADY IN TEAM CAMP

No problem, we will discount you pro rata for the time you have been in Team Camp after you enrol, or you can have access to Team Camp for a further 12 months after your initial period is up - whichever you prefer.

I COME FROM A BUSINESS BACKGROUND SO I DON'T NEED FINANCE ADVICE

Here at Cycle Systems, financial planning is a Holy Grail. If you have business or finance in your background then you will know that this is exactly how a company should run (and it's also why we have weathered so many economic challenges where many of our competitors have not.)


From all the students we have seen through our doors over the past 20 years however, not many of them have had solid training and expertise in finance AND marketing AND operations. 


Generally speaking, entrepreneurs will have to cut their teeth on lots of leadership skills at once. We think there's a very good chance you'd have significant gaps in your knowledge that we will be able to help you to fill. 


Furthermore, we know of no business programme so deeply embedded in the cycle industry - which means we will be able to school you in specific challenges, and specific solutions relevant to this trade. 


In other words, it has taken us 20 years to learn all this.. and we can condense it into your must-have knowledge modules in a three month intensive.


We guarantee there will be so much you have not thought of or don't have experience in when it comes to delivering multi-site, high quality bike repair.


You are fully protected by our 100% Satisfaction-Guarantee.

Yes. The Lead Out Mastermind comes with a 100% Action Taker's Money Back Guarantee. If you don’t feel it’s the right fit, submit your completed coursework and come to your initial coaching call by the second week of your course and we’ll issue you a full refund. The reason we ask for your completed coursework is simple: if you do the work, you’ll get tremendous value. Please note that eligibility for a refund has a firm deadline and also applies to payment plans, which means you will be responsible for all payments after the refund deadline has passed.
