My trusty singlespeed got a puncture today, and although I was equidistant from two bike shops I opted for Cheeky as it was closest to my house. So happy that I did! Not only did they fix my flat on the spot (I was riding home in ten minutes!), they also hooked me up with a new puncture-resistant tyre 'cause I'd worn my rear one almost to the threads and greased my chain just because they could see it needed it AND let me rummage through bags of replacement pad bits to take what would fit the worn-out ones on my helmet... all for the insanely low price of $20. I've had puncture repairs alone that cost that much! never mind the new "expensive" tyre, and the rest. When I spluttered that it was way too cheap the super obliging guy who looked after me laughed and said, "Well that's what it costs". Best! Look, I know I should be a self-sufficient cyclist and learn how to change a damn tyre myself but if I did that then I'd miss out on awesome interactions like the one I had today. The other great thing is that the workshop part of the store is this big wide open space, and when I commented on it the same (awesome) dude told me it was in the interests of transparency. Love this place! Y'all made my day. read more
