Like most bike shops, John Bikes is staffed by people who clearly know what they're talking about…read more I needed a bike to ride to work and they had a good selection (not as much selection as I hoped for, but still good). I had to wait a while to be served; they get very busy in lunchtimes. For Bath, its quite a big shop. They've joined together two shops into one and a few doors down they also have a service centre.

I had to think long and hard about my rating. The shop is lovely and most of the staff is great…read more But there is this little sh*t with long hair and too much of an attitude that thinks rather highly of himself. I'm certainly not new to bikes and needed a quick fix (i was visiting a friend and had no tools on me). He takes a quick look at it and tells me I should most certainly dump it and get a new one. Something I happen to know as utter rubbish. I won't go on a rant about that situation. Long story short, a less knowledgeable costumer would've done what he suggested, and spent a fortune on a new bike. That is not costumer service and, quite frankly, a fairly dishonest thing to do. Like I said, bar that guy, the shop is great.

Although I knew what I wanted, their advice and expertise were invaluable in making better informed choices to build a bike that surpassed my expectations. Considering I can be a fussy nightmare of a customer I was surprised to see a comment about after sales service, surely a blip or misunderstanding? I've found Jonny and team to go that extra mile or hundred to make sure everything's ok. Rechecking wheels, charging systems and even sending me out spare spokes not only once (missed them in Morocco), but twice while on tour in Africa. In the end it was only one spoke that broke and I was being overly cautious. To sum up, exceptional service, outstanding range and my go to shop for anything custom built.

Best to avoid - currently withholding money from a deposit and not returning monies back to a Cycle…read more2 Work Scheme. Asking me to pay again (basically pay twice)for a helmet and bike lock which I paid for in store, Lewis from the office emailed me and suggested that they keep that amount from any monies paid backto me re the cost of the helmet and lock, even though I paid for these items in the shop. So effectively I would be paying twice for the Cube Helmet and the On Guard bike lock! Really regret going there, and feel like I have made a massive mistake. I was not afforded the right to test ride the bike, despite on my initial visit seeing another chap taking a bike out and then returning and chatting to staff with his feedback re the folding bike he rode.

Detour is an independent skate store, specialising in skate hardware, footwear and menswear, with a…read moresmaller selection of ladieswear, too. I'm not much of a skater, so I haven't any experience with the hardware side of things, but chunky skate shoes are usually my footwear of choice, so this place serves me well whenever the soles of my most recent pair are on the brink of falling apart altogether. The shoes here aren't any cheaper than you're likely to find anywhere else, but there's plenty to choose from and they've got a diverse range of brands from Adidas and Nike to Vans. The staff are all friendly types and more than willing to give you a hand, should you need it and with this being the only independent skate shop in Bath, it's definitely worth checking out if you're serious about the sport, too.
