Not sure if your going to the right bike shed in barny. But i've had nothing but great service…read more Always very happy to help and advise. Most £700 bikes are alloy these days so very shocked it rusted.

This great local bike shop won the South Wales Echo's 'They're The Business' award in 2009, which…read morerecognises local businesses that go above and beyond the call of duty for their customers. Now the Bike Shed has moved to Cathedral Road it has more space than at its old premises on Wyndham Crescent, and they've added new makes to their range including Trek, Pashley, Raleigh and Cooper. Apart from the bikes themselves, they also have loads of cycling accessories, from child seats for the back of your bike through to gloves, helmets and clothing. From fairly low-price goods through to high-end brands, they offer stock for most budgets. You can also get your bike repaired and serviced by experienced staff and they supply parts by dozens of cycling brands such as Rock Shox, Endura, Truvativ, Shimano, Mavic, Avid, etc. The staff are all cycling experts, and are knowledgeable on local issues such as good biking trails and Cardiff's Bike To Work scheme - so you can find out all sorts by having a chat with them. Highly recommended for any Cardiff cyclists out there.

This is where local business beats the big national chains…read more National chains usually employ someone who looks decent enough, doesn't have a criminal record and can just about string a sentence together without swearing. They don't care if they have any knowledge or passion about the product they are selling. The people working at the Bike Shed know their stuff and you can tell - their enthusiasm is infectious. They don't won't to sell you a bike to make money, they want to find you the right bike so you enjoy biking. That's why I bought a bike off them that I ride all the time. If you're after a bike or just some advice - pop in here -there is no hard sell just friendly advice.

I walk through the door behind my boyfriend and am hit instantly by the smell of bikes and of men…read more This is a man's shop and you'd better know it. We wander through the aisles, knowing what we are looking for (a lock and a chain for his bike) but unsure where to find them in amongst all of the other equipment. The confusion must show on our faces but all of the sales people are busy so we eventually manage to navigate ourselves in the right direction. Looking at the large range of locks on offer we frown a little at how expensive they are but decide to go for it anyway. Then, he realises he's forgotten his wallet and we have to leave anyway. A few days later, his bike was stolen. The moral of the story is a) always buy a lock for your bike and b) make sure you go back to this shop, where they sell everything you could possibly want for your bike. And if it's not in stock? They've got a website.

My family have been going to Reg Braddicks for about 40 years. All our family bicycles have come…read morefrom his shop. I recently took my bike for a service and got a flat tyre mended. I love my bike and being without it is tough. It's my only means of transport. Braddicks is a little treasure on the drabness that is Broadway. While other business have found it difficult to prosper there Reg Braddicks have continued to expand until they now take up quite a sizeable chunk of the block they occupy. Basically the shop has everything you could want lots of new gleaming bikes in stock lots of bike parts and lots of good advice when you need it. They also do an ordering and repair service. Often if it's something small they will try and fix it on the spot. Sadly I never learnt to change a tyre or do any of the usual maintenance stuff that I should have, but I'm never made to feel small about this. Bikes and bike repair can be an expensive business so they phone you as a matter of course if they have to do more work than was anticipated originally. I find this reassuring.

Put my bike in for a service. At the time my cycle was my…read moremain mode of transport and I used it to and from work on a daily basis - I did point out it was my commuting hack so it was needed. The service took a whole week to complete ! On the day it was due back to me - I had to call to see what was going on as it was coming up to lunch time and I needed to collect the bike in my lunch hour. It cost £94 which is a lot for a cycle service. The fact that it took so long means I won't be using them again as I can't wait that long for my cycles - I have one which I commute on and one which I race on - I think I will be learning how to fully service my own bikes if you don't need your bike in a hurry then book here - the work carried out to my bike was to a good standard and the bike felt so much better for the first few weeks after having the service done.

We were over charged accidentally and upon noticing the next day went back and Immediately got a refund and 10% on my next visit. Great bikes, great trail and good food right near by.

There's a few sporting shops that have carved out a little enclave for themselves on Whitchurch…read moreRoad, and this one has to be my favourite. It is a really large outlet that is incredibly well stocked, with all manner of gear. You can even buy archery equipment here!!! (Not that this is what I come here for... I'm lethal enough without needing to resort to using something like a bow and arrow! My car is the only potentially dangerous piece of machinery that I'll allow myself to use... I give everything else a wide birth!) My needs that Cardiff Sportsgear meets are of a much more mundane variety. I come here for my swim suits, as I tend to call in at RatRigs, the surf shop just down the road, whilst I'm about it.. (RatRigs have a sale on a the moment, and so I called into both last week to scoop up a couple of bargains. Sadly, Cardiff Sportsgear didn't have what I was looking for in my size on this occasion, (a Speedo with long legs, like the type of suit that competitive swimmers wear... something that is proving nigh on impossible to find)... The staff were really helpful, and said that if I knew exactly what I wanted, then they would happily order it for me. Great service!

Wowee! Whatever sport you're into you will undoubtedly be incredibly impressed by Cardiff…read moreSportsgear. They offer: racquets, cricket gear, pool table, gym equipment, riding helmets, wetsuits, and so much more! Whenever I come in here with friends we like to play a game of how many sports we can count (at least 25 last count). The staff are all incredibly friendly and know their stock well (surprising considering how big this place is). The only thing they don't have much in the way of is, gym clothes, which is ironically the only thing I need.
