This shop has been here for many years and I remember it as a child (which was, er hem, a long time ago). Anyway the staff are friendly and were able to fix my bike within the afternoon.

I think so! it's a sickness. It therefore stands to reason that I am pathologically unable to even pass a bike shop without darting in and combing through every aisle like someone auditioning for Supermarket Sweep. I was 'up west' for a change. On the assumption that all West London residents drive Range Rovers I was pleasantly surprised by Cyclopolis, a small but perfectly formed 'half bike shop, half workshop' in Balham. So was it better than the inimitable 14 bike co, you might ask? Clearly not; but it's great for when you want a little splash of quality and style in amongst all the usual practical items. Like decent Kevlar tyres. A respectable range of Brooks saddles. More Abus products than you'd imagine in one place. Very well stocked indeed. they also do the bike to work scheme, if you are as scarred by Evans as I am. Oh, and there's stuff for your kids if you want to get them hooked too. It's more of a shop for people who ride Pashleys or off road, but they know what to do with fixed gear and single speed lovers too. No, and I don't mean slapping them.

Ron (the mechanic) has solved things I simply couldn't find a solution for anywhere else (and I regularly visit bike shops all over London). And Jonathan (the owner) has such tremendous and invaluable knowledge on all aspects of the bicycle business; if he can't get hold of some tricky little part, he'll tell you exactly where you can. Everything a small local bike shop should be, I'd heartily recommend taking the time to get to know these fellas.
