Thorn Cycles is a British manufacturer of bicycles based in Bridgwater, Somerset. They specialise in touring, tandems and randonneuring cycles, with their frames manufactured in Taiwan.

They have recently become well known for their Raven and Nomad series of cycles equipped with Rohloff hub gears. The brand was built from the Raven Tour expedition tourer, the Sport Tour fast tourer, Sterling mountain bikes and the Raven Twin tandem.

The current range includes; Nomad MK3, Audax MK4, Club Tour MK5, Mercury MK3, Sherpa, Raven, Raven Twin S&S Tandem MK3

The business began under the name St John Street Cycles in 1984 when Robin Thorn took over a traditional bicycle and toy shop in St John Street, Bridgwater. They began selling their own cycles in the 1990s under the 'THORN' brand. Thorn Cycles Ltd was registered as a limited company in 2000. St John Street Cycles remains as a trading name for the retail arm of the business.[1]
