A great bike shop, right on the George St cycleway. It's a little hidden from street view, so can…read morebe hard to find if you haven't been before. These guys are really into the no-nonsense riding. They've got heaps of different bikes for commuting, casual riding around, touring, cargo, you name it. They're not the place to go for a $10,000 carbon racer, but they're great for everyone else! In fact, if you're after a cargo/touring bike or related accessories, I haven't found anywhere else in Sydney that actually keeps stock of such things like Omafiets. They do all the usual things bike shops do (repairs, maintenance and all the everyday accessories), but also they do bike hire which is pretty cool, so if you're after a touring bike just for the week/end, or a cargo bike to move something a little big for your regular commuter it's a great way to try something new out.

The staff is qualified to explain the different types of bicycles and help you pick the one best suited for you. I had my hybrid bicycle taken in for maintenance and the mechanic did a phenomenal job. While the mechanics at Inner City Cycles are very talented and professional, the customer service in the front the shop is appalling. I came back a week after having my bike repaired just to pump a flat tire. When I asked if this could be done, I was rudely directed to pump it myself. Just as I was leaving the store, I was unexpectedly stopped by an employee and charged $5. I pumped MY OWN tire with AIR and was charged for this? I found this unacceptable, especially since I had that same bicycle repaired at the store a week earlier. It's unfortunate that the excellent mechanical service isn't reflected in the customer service.

So many bikes! This place is pretty cool, if you a cyclist. Two levels worth of various bikes and…read morebiking equipment, all top notch. And some great help too. And theres a service centre below, so 3 levels of biking assistance in total. And even little pedalless bikes for the younguns to walk/ride around on. But what blew my mind was a bike that could fold away. You know, to fit it in your boot. Mind. Blown. I consider this place a pretty dependable, knowledgeable store for your biking needs. I suppose the one thing it doesn't have is unicycles. Tyler is disappointed, but has come to expect this of just about all cycle stores.

I have been looking for a basket although now that my front tyre has punctured getting that fixed should be my priority. Anyway Cheeky Bikes has great baskets and their prices are really reasonable (I can get exactly what I need for $25 and it is a steel mesh basket). They also have some clever innovative items like a takeout basket, which comes with an insulated cooler bag all for $90 (very reasonable). Also Cheeky Transport offers hand built bikes made by the store's owner, they look great, if you are a serious cyclist or want a really stylish bike, they are an excellent option. And they sell a whole range of cargo bikes. The shop has all the bike accessories one could want and the staff are friendly and helpful, this may be the best bike shop I've seen yet.

I'm not a gearhead, so I won't get into the finer points of bike shops here since I don't know…read morethem, but I had a great experience here, and I would recommend this place to anyone in my particular position. That position is a newly transplanted University student, with a limited budget and lack of desire to spend my days here trolling Gumtree for a deal on a used bike. With all that said, I went in here and got exactly what I wanted, for a pretty good price, with almost no hassle, and a few extras thrown in to boot. I got a 'fixie' or fixed gear bike, for about $350, which came with a lock, some lights, and a water bottle and some servicing I think. Anyway, it's been a fantastic bike so far, and it was nice that they threw in all the extras, even if they weren't the best quality. So if you're looking for a bike to get you around town and don't want to spend $1000, I'd give Reid's a look, they have all different styles of bikes, and the prices are pretty solid.

I went here because I saw that they had the retro bikes on sale. Plus my cousin who is an avid…read morecycler said that these guys were pretty good. So I ordered one in store, with the package of bike pumps, helmet and a whole host of other bits and pieces. My very first bike!! I was excited. Plus 3 years servicing. I was advised that my bike would be ready within 10 business days as they didn't have the colour I wanted in store. Sure, no problem I say. They advise they will call me to let me know when it's ready. So I paid and off I went. Day 8: I call them to check that my bike will be ready to pick up that weekend as I hadn't heard anything from them. They put me on hold as they can't find my paperwork. The guy gets back on the phone and says yes, absolutely, it should be ready by Saturday which is day 10. I request a call back just to confirm that this is the case so I don't waste my time coming in if it's not ready. He advises that it's marked to get a call when it's ready for collection. Day 11: I call and leave a message as no one was answering the phone in the morning. By midday I had no response so sent an email as well requesting a call as per my voice mail message that morning. By 3pm I hadn't gotten a call back so decided to call them again. Finally got through to someone who couldn't find my paperwork and put me on hold again. He came back on the phone to advise that my bike hadn't been set up because my paperwork had been overlooked. Great. So even after I called a few days before it was due to be picked up as per your company's 10 business day turn around quote, you still haven't gotten it ready. I get an apology from person on phone, I realise it's not his fault however am having trouble containing my frustration. He advises that he will see what he can do and call me back. 3pm same day he calls me back and advises that it's ready for pick up. I advise that it isn't really helpful as it's a Sunday afternoon and I'm busy out of town with family. I had set aside time the day before when it was meant to be due to be picked up to get this done. I advise that I can't get back into the store until the following weekend as I have no time during the week. By this stage I'm feeling like I've just handed over $400 to a company to screw me around and offer me no customer service what-so-ever. So I go in the following Saturday to pick up my bike. They wheel it out and it doesn't have the studded seat as per my order. They apologise and take it away to fix. They bring it back out again and hand it over. I was advised when I was looking at the bike that they would get me to sit on it so that it can be adjusted to my height. There was no adjusting. There was no looking at anything. I was handed the bike and the guy spun on his heels and walked away without a word. Suffice to say that I wasn't really happy with the service to date so I sent an email the following week in regards to my experience and how poorly it was handled. To this day I still haven't gotten a response from management or the store. So if you're after a bike? Go somewhere else. I'm gutted that I have to use these people for servicing for the next 3 years as it is. Apart from that the bike works well. Pity about the actual non-existent customer service though.

This was by far one of my favorite things in Sydney! Michael…read moreour guide was amazing and so friendly, and had a great sense of humor about having a group of people on bikes trailing after him. BB has a laid back vibe-- like going on a bike ride with a good friend and experiencing the beautiful city you live in. The process to buy and book my ticket was really easy via their website, and the cost is reasonable considering the time and the entertainment value of the experience. They provide blue helmets for safety, and the best part?? THEIR BIKES!! Being from a bike heavy city, I was prepared to do some work cycling around Sydney. But BB has these fantastic bikes that are electric. They are battery powered but respond to the power and effort of the rider him/herself. You have to pedal to move, but it does make going up hills much easier and not leave you as a sweaty mess. They explain everything and review safety prior to your ride, but it makes it really easy to enjoy the trip. The only hazards really are the pedestrians! You go through some heavy walking areas so be aware and careful. Occasionally you'll hear pedestrians complain, and my response is "just because you're walking doesn't mean you can be an asshole". As far as I was concerned, we got off and walked our bikes in the areas it made sense, and rode them where it was safe or clearly marked for bikes. BB makes every effort to fit in their city, and also maintain the safety of their riders. Awesome awesome tour and I HIGHLY recommend them!!

Recently, the persistent Sydney rain took a bit of a toll on my daily rider. It wasn't feeling right, and there was something up with the chain. Glow Worm is my local, so I popped in and made my best attempt at knowing what the parts of my bike are called (Did you know the bundles of gears at the back are called a "casette"?! Me either.) They could understand my poor cycling vernacular, and they were super helpful and accommodating. They taught me what things are called. I pretended I knew all along. As I sit here, struggling through separation anxiety as my bike still remains in their care, I can't fault them. At my last service I wasn't happy with how they had tuned my gears, so I went back and they cheerfully fixed them free of charge. Here's my advice: If you want to get into cycling, don't expect it to be cheap and have a helpful cycling shop like Glow Worm to keep you on the road. And don't wear spandex.
