The staff were super knowledgeable, happy to give tips and answer any questions that I had along the way. The atmosphere is friendly and interested, which is great because I'm easily put off when I go into a store and I feel like I'm being pushed into a sale or buying extras. I ended up walking out of the store with the bike that I had enquired about on the phone, with a lot of confidence in my purchase, and a few freebies that had been thrown in as well! Highly recommended, and will be going back myself for future purchases.

They have a great range from kids bikes to high end mountain bikes and road bikes. Heaps of spares and accessories too. Great staff who are very friendly and extremely helpful - not stuck up or condescending like you find in some bike shops. I'll continue to shop there even though prices can be a little cheaper online. In fact I'm going there today, that's how I came to write this review - I was trying to find out what time they open!

I've recently purchased a new bike after my last beautiful red bike was stolen *shakes fist at sky,…read moreloses faith in humanity*. However, upon my first ride I realised something was not quite right... My back brakes were sticking making for a slightly challenging pedal. I rang the distributor of this particular bike and was told it was a two-week wait to get it looked at. TWO WEEKS?! Ain't nobody got time for that. So I set off down Lygon Street, hoping that the friendly fellow at Bikes Please might be able to help. He did. Upon looking at my bike he instantly knew what was wrong and took it into his shed. 10 minutes later he rode back out, pumped up my tires, tweaked a few gears and sent me on my way. "But let me give you money!" I screamed. He would only take $5 off me, saying it was an easy gig and he couldn't possibly charge me anymore. Easy or no, that level of customer service has ensured that I will be a repeat customer to Bikes Please anytime something goes wrong. A general fix-up of your bike will only set you back around $35 regardless. Fast, efficient and friendly are three unbeatable characteristics of any local business. Bravo.

Now I've heard some mixed reports about this joint but my experiences have been good…read more The shop stands proud on the corner of the Capital City Bike Trail and Nicholson Street -- a prime spot for a bike shop -- and they fill a large space that used to be a failed chain video store. My dealings with Velo centre around the fact that I and my partner ride what would be accurately described as 'old bangers' and they generally need a bit of work. I've taken our bikes in for minor shit like broken chains and the likes and they've fixed them for free or very little money. The best bit is that they don't pull that 'you really should upgrade' kind of bollocks and they don't strike me as the usual bike shop wankers. Also of note is that they do a discount for RRR subscribers, which I am and ever will be. Any business that does all right by RRR is all right by me yo. They'll also give you a Metcard or replacement bike while yours gets fixed! Sick!

After a few more days of hunting around Melbourne, I was compelled to return to Velo - they were easily the most generous with their time and knowledge and happy to price-match on a bike i'd seen elsewhere for a little less. I've ridden the bujeezus out of my bike since that day and they've always resolved any issues with minimum fuss. Friendly and insightful staff and a solid range of accessories, plus the location couldn't suit us any better.
