Bike retailer Wiggle was formed in 1999 from a Portsmouth-based bike operation - Butlers Cycles. The retailer now stocks more than 250,000 products.
"[Buckle] has made a huge contribution to building LOVEFiLM into Europe's leading film and TV series subscription service. We wish him well in his future endeavours," said a LOVEFiLM spokesman.
"I have really enjoyed my time with LOVEFiLM, both before and since the acquisition by Amazon, and I am proud to have lead the business through a recent period of record growth," said Buckle.
"LOVEFiLM's success has been built on great teamwork rather than any one individual and I am sure that the business, with Amazon's backing, will continue to provide a great service to an increasing number of customers. After seven years, I am ready for a new challenge and I am excited to be joining Wiggle at a time when cycling is going through a period of growing popularity."
Buckle joined LOVEFiLM as a fledgling business in 2006. He had previously served with the BBC, Dell Financial Services and Propertyfinder.com.
