Finally got tired of hauling myself around on my gorgeous but so unridable retro set of wheels...so, I went bike shopping for a commuter.
After hitting Reid Cycles (got spoken to like an idiot here...), Samson (staff here were fab), Velo and Northside Cycles (another super staff experience) we rolled into Ivanhoe Cycles. What can I say...START YOUR SEARCH HERE!
The range of bikes in stock is outstanding, the staff are helpful, knowledgeable and super patient. If you're unsure of what you're after, this place will sort you out. The prices are very fair for top quality brands and you can test ride the bikes around the shop! It's like being a kid but it's sanctioned!
They also stock a massive range of accessories such as helmets, tools, gloves, bottle holders etc.
When you purchase a bike, you get your first year of servicing thrown in too! Happy days. read more
