Their motto is "Ride a better bike" and they are pretty clued up on this. They will happily take a look at the bike you are riding at the moment and give you some tips as to what you need to make it better - possibly extra reflectors or a mud guard or a bell - you never know until you ask.
They have ample off road parking and a lot of stock. The strapping young fellows on staff are always keen to assist if you need some help and they all ride bikes to some degree so they know what they are talking about; you can tell this because they all look like bookmarks with shoulders and slightly spiky hair cuts that bounce back without getting all helmet headish. They tend to look windswept in a nice way.
Most bike shops have a slightly odd smell because of all the rubber and plastic, and there's not much to be done about that, so if you get allergies or are a little put off by strong rubbery odor, remember to bring a handkerchief for the runny nose or sneezes (I'm just saying) because I often have a sneezing fit in a place like this on a warm day.
Over all what can you say about a bike shop really? It is modern and stacked full of anything you may need including helmets, wheels, tires, pumps, reflectors, bells, hooter things to warn oncoming traffic of your impending doom, or their impending lawsuit. Parents with fat children should bring them here and introduce them to a life. No seriously - this is one of the best ways for kids to get around, a single big spend and you'll hardly ever need to upgrade your Xbox or Wii because they will be fit, healthy and playing outdoors not getting fat in their room playing computer games! Good move mum and dad. read more
