It is nice to patronise local shops. Yes, you can buy a children's bike from Toys R Us and other large chains. However, going to a local store you'll usually get a much more personal service. This is certainly true at Burt's.
We have bought two bikes (both for our daughter) and various gear - helmets, lights and stuff. We have always been well looked after, and, particularly when we bought her most recent bike (an adult one), were given well thought out and friendly advice.
They stock all sorts of cycles, from mountain bikes, to racing bikes, to hybrid bikes through the old fashioned sit up and beg style (the type I personally covet). It is a crowded shop, with bikes and assorted accessories in every free space. They also have a workshop out the back, where they conduct repairs.
All in all, this is a good, friendly, quirky local bike shop located on Hampton Hill High Street. read more
