I went in a few weeks ago with no idea about what to look for whenbuying a new bike. They didnt treat me like an idiot. took the time to explain everything, and didnt pressurise me into making a decision. I left with the bike I wanted and am very happy with both the bike and the level of service.

Reliable place - old school - suits me. Thanks for the great bike and non-fussy advice.read more

Edwardes is like stepping back to a time before there was any urban fashion or moral obligation to…read morecycle. The staff here are passionate about cycling as a sport and probably have been since the day they first sat on a tricycle. As well as having a huge range of mountain, racing and all kinds of bikes, they are immensely knowledgeable and good at repair jobs. On the downside, it is often quite difficult to get served you really do have to fight for their attention. Be prepared for a bit of cockney banter and you can even haggle down the price on occasions. This is nothing like shopping at Evans Bike Superstore, but so much more of a personal and interesting experience.

I have had my mountain bike serviced here a few times. I find it increasingly rare for staff at any…read moreshop to "go the extra mile". The staff at Stort Valley go above and beyond. They are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I had a repair done at another shop and it never quite got sorted correctly. I found Stort Valley Cycle and they sorted it the first time and the gears have been smooth ever since! The last time I needed something done, I was in a huge time crunch and I was apologetic to the staff, but needed something down quickly before going out of town. They sorted the bike out quicker than expected and I had time to spare! Well done guys!!

This is a handy little bike shop and workshop located, as you might expect, next to a bus stop. The…read moreshop is accessed by pressing a buzzer next to the door, which can seem a bit off-putting, and I have had difficulty getting someone to answer the door in the past, probably because the workshop is located out the back of the shop. However once you're in, the staff are friendly and helpful, and I think offers good value. The shop is quite small, and has all the essentials, but not much beyond that, so if you are looking for the latest Northwave jersey, you will need to try somewhere else. It is more of a functional shop catering to people who are using their bike to get places rather than purely for exercise or sport. They have a plentiful supply of florescent yellow plastic, which is most important for cycling on London's roads.

I recommend the Gold Star service at £35.00, I swear my bike actually felt lighter than when I put it in, breaks were fantastic and I could finally get into 1st gear. These guys are fantastic and the shop is full of lights, levers, covers, mirros and they can even put bells on it! Speaking of which they run a nice old school Christmas Club as well! In addition if you get a puncture they do a free pick up service. Perfect ... what are you waiting for.

I've been there twice looking for bikes for my daughter (13) and son (15). Each time when I walked…read morein there were two guys behind the counter and one customer at the till. I stood there for 10 minutes, ignored by both staff. One of them was just reading his computer screen and didn't bother looking up, the other didn't acknowledge me until he had finished with the customer. When I was finally seen they were worse than useless. Didn't have any advice, said they didn't have much in. The second time I went in the bloke tried to push a second-hand bike on me for £300. Once, I would have forgotten it but this happened both times I went in. I felt like I'd been treated with contempt & totally unvalued. It's a joke of a shop & I won't be going back.

I rented a well maintained premium hardtail 29er with a dropper post. The shop gave me great advice on where to go and I had a complete blast exploring all around Epping. There are some very nice cross country and downhill runs all around the forest. Most of the trails are under the forest canopy and it's just beautiful. Be sure to stop at the Kings Oak Hotel in High Beach for a beer in the forest!
