Scotts is a shop that really seems to know a lot about bikes. Not only do they sell them and the…read morevarious other accessories they come with, they also repair them and fit them out with accessories like car alarms, etc. They know exactly what is going on in the engine and thus can provide some great advice on what kind of bike you should get/ what would fit your needs. They also sell both new and used bikes so you can find something within your price range!

The guys have been servicing my all four motorbikes for the last 14 years and I have always found…read morethem to be very professional and reasonable priced. They are quite busy most of the time and I think that's a good sign, obviously they are not lacking customers . While not the biggest shop around, they have a good selection of parts, accessories and gear and whatever is not available in the shop they can bring it on order too. Even when I have had a new bike I preferred to have them do the regular service and maintenance rather than the dealer I've bought the bike from, I think that says is all.

I'm writing this review hours after I collected my bike from Bolton Cycles. Guys, I cannot praise…read moreyou enough for the great job you did on my ladies Fuji 2.1!!! A brief explanation: I left my bike locked outside for 4 nights in early December and someone messed it up, so I brought it in for repair to another bike shop (OK, I won't say where) on 11th Dec 2024. I was told they ordered the parts for me (a hanger). Not getting any phone call updates which I was supposed to get I rang them twice, once in early Jan and then on Tue 21st Jan. The order was on the way, to arrive at the end of the month/beginning of February. I've already been waiting close to 6 weeks!!!! and couldn't wait any longer. Pretty poor service. So I decided to bring the bike somewhere else. My friend recommended Bolton Cycles - and here's the beautiful story: I rang the owner at 12 noon Wed 22nd Jan and explained the situation. He said 'Bring it in, I'll have the part and fix it.' The guys had the bike ready for me the very next day!!! Not only did they replace the broken part but also repaired the brakes and tightened the rather loose chain which gave me trouble numerous times. BOLTON CYCLES, You have a life customer in me now!!! Best wishes, Maria

If you're reading this review, you're either in the market for a bike store who'll sort you out…read morewith a second hand bike, or you've come across Bolton Cycles before and want some opinions before you deal with them. Well, I've been a regular customer of Bolton Cycles for the last 5 years now, and would solidly recommend these blokes. I just recently got a second hand "GIANT" racer off of them, which was originally worth about 850 brand new and they gave it to me for 320, one year old but post-overhaul....and they let me trade in my previous bike which i had bought off of them and they knocked off 110 (a bit less than half of what i paid originally, but it was 4 years old)....so i was laughing! Also, I went back to them twice to tune up a few things on it, things that they probably should have charged for, and they didn't. If you're friendly to them and show customer loyalty, they will throw things in when they are making a sale and their prices for flat repairs, buckle repairs, brakes and gear jobs are all fairly decent. They also will sort you out with a 6 month guarantee, even on second hand bikes, so it's not a case of "buyer beware" like it would be if you tried to get a bike in that bike yard on Ryder's Row. Sure, it's not the nicest place to hang out, you can barely move around once you get inside because it is literally wall-to-wall bikes all over the gaff, but they make up for it with a decent service. (NOTE - they don't accept cards....get the cash from the Centra just 5 doors down).

Surprisingly this Motor Stop seems to stock mostly bicycle related articles. Maybe the stop in the…read moretitle is in the imperative sense, like 'Oi, you motor, stop! Haven't you heard the environment ain't doing so good? Get some pedals will ya?' Now, they do some mechanics, and the likes, so that's almost definitely not what they mean. It's just how I choose to interpret it. They stock a limited range of bicycles and an extensive range of bicycle accessories. You'll get everything you need in the way of reflectors, lights, locks, baskets, bells, whistles and wheels here. I don't own a motor, so I'm not sure how good they are on that front, but bicycle wise they would be a perfect local bike shop for day-to-day sundries
