Standish Cycles is one of the better all-rounder bike shops I've come across. They do a decent…read morerange of just about everything, including mid-range road bikes, mountain bikes, commuters, BMX and kids bikes. You don't see many BMX bikes sold in standard stores, yet these guys have a good range. They're also more than happy to order you in parts for fixed-gear bikes or BMX if you're building something uncommon. The guys in the store are very helpful, and all bike-mad, which means they know their stuff and will tell you a lot extra if you're keen to know what's going on or what they've been up to. Their range of kids bikes has quite dramatically increased over the past month, presumably in time for Christmas, and they have also extended their stock of retro cruisers, which come in a variety of colours. Also, a small bike extension to add onto a larger bike is only $229 - that's one way to enjoy the summer holidays with your kids!

Yay, bikes! Even with all the public transport and car driving going on these days, I still prefer…read morea good old fashioned bike ride. Standish Cycles have always been one of the best. They've been at West Lakes for as long as I can remember, and the staff really seem to know what they're doing. I've gone into this store several times with my mum, trying to find extra bike or skateboard accessories for my brother, even though we had no idea what we were looking for, and all we had to do was attempt to explain what we were looking for to the staff members and they immediately knew what we were on about. That's what I call good customer service.

This Cycleworks, one of only three in SA, is a great bike shop. They have a large range of…read morecommuters, hybrids, mountain bikes and road racers, as well as tons of accessories and clothes. The guys who run this shop, Craig and Andy, are both fantastic to deal with - laid-back, friendly, and more than willing to help you out at short notice. I bought my bike here at the start of the year, and they knocked about $100 off the price, because I asked nicely. They then looked after me with a free service (which comes with all their bikes) with only a day's turnaround - surprisingly fast. I highly recommend dealing with these guys - their bikes are good quality, good prices, and they know what they're talking about.

I get this vibe from Sports Power at Firle, which has a number of factors working against it. Firstly it is a small sports store, they don't have a lot of stock and the prices don't really blow your tighty whities up your butt crack if you catch my drift. They do have a shoes specials table out the front, but again the 'bargains are not 'amazing'! Considering these things alone, one would think they may struggle to make ends meat, but they are also right outside a KMart and just down the road from Campbelltown Sports which is a well established and much larger sports store. I really just don't get it!
