    I have only recently got back in to cycling in the last year or two and I have had nothing but…read moreexcellent service from Alec and Kirsteen, you can really tell Alec has extensive knowledge in his craft and Kirsteen too. Whether I have needed just a general service or whether I have brought my bike in because something just wasn't right, I have been very happy with the repairs. Only a few weeks ago, I took my bike in as my gears weren't shifting smoothly and my brakes seemed a bit stiff, since the repair and getting back out on my bike, its like a brand new bike! Thank you Helensburgh Cycles, you have a lifelong customer and friend!

    I've been going back to Helensburgh Cycles for coming on for fifteen years now, having bought…read moreseveral bikes and countless parts in that time. For a compact shop, there's a good selection of low to mid-range road & mountain bikes on display, as well as a plethora of accessories, clothing and helmets to browse, too, and what isn't in the shop can be ordered in. The real value of a local bike shop is the quality of customer service and after sales care, though, and it's here that Helensburgh Cycles truly shines. Alec & Alexis will take the time to offer advice on what's best for your bike or style of riding - often with a hot cup of tea to go with it. If you have a technical problem that Alec can't talk you through, "Just bring it in!" he'll say, and you can drop your bike off for some TLC. Alexis is great when it comes to sorting out the kids bikes - she treated my daughter like a princess when we went in to buy her first bike, which was built and collected a couple of hours later along with a free gift. Whether you're local to the area or just passing through on the way to a ride, it's well worth your while to pop in and stock up on spares or energy supplements before heading off on a ride. If you're going by car, turn up Maitland street and park off to the right, although you can park right outside the shop for drop-off and collection purposes.

    Not so much destination shopping as bargain hunting. Go Outdoors is one of those massive superstore…read moreplaces with everything from bikes to tents, hiking boots to kendal mint cake and a tonne of other stuff that I have no need for until the zombie apocalypse. It has to be said that if the dead start to rise this is first on my loot list. I'll need to get my 'oh fuck rucksack' properly stocked. What do you mean you don't know what an 'oh fuck rucksack' is? It's a rucksack you have stowed away in the cupboard under the stairs with various bits of survival stuff, food, etc. that you can grab if the world as we know it is coming to an end. Yes I read and watch far too much disaster stuff and might be a bit of a worrier! Given that the dead are not currently roaming the streets and that society isn't crumbling we concentrated on looking for a warm winter coat for smudge. That said she'd still need to be warm in a nuclear winter, dual purpose shopping! They have a good selection of kids outdoorsy clothing and especially jackets and coats ranging from economical regatta ones right through to seriously spendy Berghaus ones. Thankfully she fell in love with a middle of the range Craghoppers one. It's waterproof, fleecy lined and has a great hood so the poor sausage is getting no lifts to school this winter. While we were there g found a long list of cycling gubbins that has now been added to his 'I need all this now' list and I found a really cozy warm winter coat that might be worth investing in given that a denim jacket is not really the most sensible bit of outerwear for a Scottish winter. Poor puff was the only one of us not really catered for but she'd has so much fun riding in the trolly and pulling things off the displays that I don't think she minded one bit. It has to be said that finding a member of staff in here is virtually impossible. Even when it comes to actually buying something and handing over your money you just can't find any staff. I left g to pay while I got the kids in the car. By the time he had payed I'd got both girls in and buckled, returned the trolley and checked the news app for any signs of a coming apocalypse, not somewhere to come if you are in a rush to leave town and head somewhere more remote and safe.

GoOutdoors offers great value outdoor gear in exchange for a membership fee. Please remember that the amount you save in one trip normally covers this membership fee. They have just about the widest amount of outdoor gear from any outdoor store i have ever seen. Men's, ladies and children's clothes and shoes. Camping and caravanning kit and accessories, climbing, canoeing, cycling, running and horse riding also feature. Now they represent every area well but aren't specialists into any area in particular. Shop with care. Watch out for their great bargains and if you are desperate for something reserve online and pickup in store. Staff are quite good. Some better than others but as an outdoor type I just want somebody who can find the size of shoes I'm looking for.

Now I am no biker, I know very little about bikes, the world of bikes or even the world of bike shops. But the guys behind the counter are really friendly and made me feel very welcome as they explained the basics. If you are interested in buying then they will walk you through and they don't push a sale. Gear also sell all manner of bike accessories, from lights and helmets to pedals and pumps. If you ever find your bike in need of some love, they also offer bike repairs and tune-ups at a very reasonable price. Though because they are well known in the area you may have to wait a few days before it is ready. What I really love about the shop is the biker community vibe. They leave a pump outside the store for anyone to use and they have helped a friend of mine with his breaks for free. Gear also sell pocket cycle maps of where best to go for a bike ride in the city so if you pop by I highly recommend that you spend £5 on that little gem.

    On Your Bike is probably the largest bike rental spot in Millport, but it's not the only one…read more However, they do have a range of bikes, from tandems to an adult tricycle to the now infamous (amongst my friends at least) conference bike--a seven seater monstrosity that has novelty value only. The sheer range of rental options and very central location (right next to the landmark Ritz Cafe) make it a safe bet. However, I was a little put off by the vast assortment of childish t-shirts, pins, etc referencing a wide range of adolescent interests like pot smoking. Pot smoking is fine if that's what you're into, but only people under the age of 19 decorate their homes and selves with marijuana-emblazoned paraphernalia. It seemed very out of place for Millport and for a bike rental spot. Also, the conference bike is a tourist trap and a ripoff. Don't rent it. We were lured by the sheer silliness of it, but in the end it's extremely difficult to ride which sucks all the fun out of having it. Also, if you rent it for a twenty minute "fun run" it's £3, but if you rent it for an hour it's £30. That does not add up.

    Hello this the manager of On Your Bike,we would just like to clear up any misunderstanding caused…read moreby this review.Our conference bike is £3 per person for a fun run not £3 in total,this would make the total £21 for 20 mins making it a lot cheaper renting by the hour.With regards to the "pot smoking" merchandise,we used to stock lighters and Rizla papers which we no longer stock as we felt it wasn't in keeping with cycling.We hope this clarify's the situation thank you for your review all comments welcome good and bad.

Bikelove…read moreis a great wee store on Queen Margaret Drive nestled between the cutesy craft stores, wee cafes and hairdressers that make up this cool block of shops. Ok, it ain't exactly huge inside, in fact its kind of amazing that anything can actually take place in such a small space. However, the smallness also adds to the Aladdin's cave feeling of this place and makes you feel like your in a proper bike shop where you can smell the WD40 and tyre rubber. Now i think we all appreciate that your big stores can offer greater variety and probably better prices than any of these guys, however i'll bet you that they cant offer even half the amount of expertise. And lets face it, places like Halfords are always based out in these massive retail parks where you need a car to get to...what self respecting cyclist drives to get his/her bike....apart from me. I like this place, it fits the picture in my head when i think of how a bike shop should look, therefore it suits my needs. Oh and its also in a great location for a test drive of your new or recently repaired bike, what with the river pathway just down the road, or alternatively you could chain it up outside North Star and head in for a coffee.....

You look down and then you see that your tyres have been burst by the glass you thought you cycled over 500 yards back. Luckily for me I was on Queen Margaret drive when this happened and I was able to go to Bike Love and get my bike repaired. The owner is not the friendliest of people but he was happy to fix my bike in a 24 hour period and it only cost £10 - which is not bad for a new tyre plus the labour. He also called to let me know that it was fixed. Last year I was in the market for a new bike and when I went in I was surprised when he offered to get me one for £100. He stressed that this would be the most basic off basic models but in the end I decided against it as I got a cheap second hand bike. Still, it was nice of him to offer.

Arrived at the shop to be presented with a bike covered dirt and with the drivetrain covered in mud/gunk. I was informed that I should give the bike a good checking over for frame damage as I will be charged for anything outwith a stone chip.......bit difficult to do given the bike was so dirty. I took the bike home and checked over the bike at the first available time which was the evening. After scraping the dirt of drivetrain and giving it a clean it was obvious at this point the bike had not seen any lubrication let alone a service in quite sometime. I should have called the shop in the morning but given that I was racing in the morning with friends I didn't want miss out and assumed that it was just a case of the shop being a bit busy to prepare the bike correctly. We started the race in the morning and all was well. After the first 20k the front brake started to fail, I had to pull the lever further and further back every time I had to break. After another 20k or so the brake was useless, even if I pulled the level to the bars it didn't do anything...........one final pull and the front caliper failed. Upon inspection the front pad was worn to the metal. The event mechanicals didn't carry spares (circular pads) and informed me that I could not continue the race and I was sent back to HQ..........it would be an understatement to say that I was disappointed. Took the bike back to the shop the next day where I explained my issues to the staff (Richie) and to my amazement I was met with nothing but obnoxious and belittling replies. As far as they were concerned the bike had left the shop in perfect working order and that was as far as their duty of care went. When I asked Richie when the pads were checked he commented "I don't need to tell you that", I ask him before hire bikes go out what checks do they go through, is there a checklist, etc they he replied "I don't need to tell you that, I'm satisfied the bike was checked". At this point he started to find the issue funny by commenting that his mum could do a better job at fixing the brake implying that there was no issue with the pads and that the two onsite event mechanicals who checked over the bike (and had shown me the worn pads) were wrong. When I replied if it was so easy to fix the brake perhaps he could fix it now to alleviate my concerns he replied "I don't need to do that for you". I finally asked Richie to pop out the front pads so that he could satisfy himself that they were fine and so that I could take a picture of their condition he replied "I don't need to do that for you". He was obviously concerned that I would share the images. All in all a thoroughly disgusting way to treat a customer who had expressed concerns about safety. At no point did I feel that they took my concerns seriously. If you value your safety I'd steer clear of Cyclelane.
