Living in Glenelg you kinda get used to seeing people clad in lycra (whether they should be or not) perched on the thinnest, lightest, most aerodynamic bit of machinery they can possibly buy, that costs as much as a small car. Well, Glenelg Cycles is one of the places that you will find these people drooling over the latest road bike or buying a pair of those clackety shoes that annoy you as they walk in the coffee shops. They have a good range of bikes and bike paraphernalia. In fact I bought my first ever adult bike from them when I was 16 so they have been around for a while.
As you have probably guessed by now, I am not part of the lycra clad brigade, but I do love bike riding. I have a "vintage" road bike and I enjoy a fairly decent ride on it. I go to Glenelg Cycles to get my bike serviced or to buy various parts from time to time. The staff are helpful and do a good efficient job. For any other pseudo bike riders, a great tip: they have a foot pump out the front of the shop which is great if you are looking for somewhere to pump up the tyres while you are out and about.
Tip: Don't try and get any maintenance done when the Tour Down Under is on as they are flat out. read more
