Scotts is a shop that really seems to know a lot about bikes.

They also sell both new and used bikes so you can find something within your price range!

They are quite busy most of the time and I think that's a good sign, obviously they are not lacking customers . While not the biggest shop around, they have a good selection of parts, accessories and gear and whatever is not available in the shop they can bring it on order too. Even when I have had a new bike I preferred to have them do the regular service and maintenance rather than the dealer I've bought the bike from, I think that says is all.

I'm writing this review hours after I collected my bike from Bolton Cycles. Guys, I cannot praise…read moreyou enough for the great job you did on my ladies Fuji 2.1!!! A brief explanation: I left my bike locked outside for 4 nights in early December and someone messed it up, so I brought it in for repair to another bike shop (OK, I won't say where) on 11th Dec 2024. I was told they ordered the parts for me (a hanger). Not getting any phone call updates which I was supposed to get I rang them twice, once in early Jan and then on Tue 21st Jan. The order was on the way, to arrive at the end of the month/beginning of February. I've already been waiting close to 6 weeks!!!! and couldn't wait any longer. Pretty poor service. So I decided to bring the bike somewhere else. My friend recommended Bolton Cycles - and here's the beautiful story: I rang the owner at 12 noon Wed 22nd Jan and explained the situation. He said 'Bring it in, I'll have the part and fix it.' The guys had the bike ready for me the very next day!!! Not only did they replace the broken part but also repaired the brakes and tightened the rather loose chain which gave me trouble numerous times. BOLTON CYCLES, You have a life customer in me now!!! Best wishes, Maria

If you're reading this review, you're either in the market for a bike store who'll sort you out…read morewith a second hand bike, or you've come across Bolton Cycles before and want some opinions before you deal with them. Well, I've been a regular customer of Bolton Cycles for the last 5 years now, and would solidly recommend these blokes. I just recently got a second hand "GIANT" racer off of them, which was originally worth about 850 brand new and they gave it to me for 320, one year old but post-overhaul....and they let me trade in my previous bike which i had bought off of them and they knocked off 110 (a bit less than half of what i paid originally, but it was 4 years old)....so i was laughing! Also, I went back to them twice to tune up a few things on it, things that they probably should have charged for, and they didn't. If you're friendly to them and show customer loyalty, they will throw things in when they are making a sale and their prices for flat repairs, buckle repairs, brakes and gear jobs are all fairly decent. They also will sort you out with a 6 month guarantee, even on second hand bikes, so it's not a case of "buyer beware" like it would be if you tried to get a bike in that bike yard on Ryder's Row. Sure, it's not the nicest place to hang out, you can barely move around once you get inside because it is literally wall-to-wall bikes all over the gaff, but they make up for it with a decent service. (NOTE - they don't accept cards....get the cash from the Centra just 5 doors down).

The Bike Institute's location is very convenient for me as I live in Ashtown and it's fairly easy to get there. If you search for the shop on google maps, it won't take you to the right place, which was one of the things I first struggled with. But I gave them a ring and they kindly directed me to the actual location. For starters, the staff there is very friendly and were incredibly helpful. It was my first time there and I didn't feel like they were trying to sell me anything I didn't need or were pushy in any way. As I only own a bike and literally ride it everywhere, I dropped it off first thing in the morning and asked if I could pick it up by the end of the day and the staff member confidently told me it'd be done before that. I was pleasantly surprised, as most bike shops don't have such a fast turnover! And that was a huuuuuge PLUS for me! However, just because it's a fast turnover, don't be fooled: the quality of the service was superb. My bike is smooth as butter now. So it's safe to say I am very happy with the service they provided! It should get me through the winter and once the winter is over, you can be sure I will drop by again to get the premium service for the summer days Thank you again to all the staff for a great experience! I'm very hesitant to let anyone work on my bike, so this review should showcase my satisfaction.

So imagine my disappointment when I discovered that images of traversing the galaxy with a trusty vulcan were no longer to be conjured up by this shop. Instead I get the borderline psychologically scarring image of a 6 ft. 2 clown popping into my mind's eye every time I walk up Wexford street. I've only ever bought a lock here, but I pop in from time to time to see their offers on second hand bikes and the staff are always really nice. BIKE TREK. Now that's a title.
