A great shop for all your biking needs. I have shopped at Evans cycles over the last week and…read morepurchased Lycra, pumps helmet pedals etc. I have found the service in the shop very good, the staff are very clued up on most things to do with cycling. I have found on most occasions this store to be very busy which meant long waits for information or just to purchase products. This will be down to the shop being very popular only a good thing I guess. There is a website you can order kit on. The delivery service for me was very poor. I paid around £7 for a Saturday delivery only one of my products came which left me waiting for my other item until Thursday. I did query this but because one of my items came on the Saturday I would still have to pay the £7. Not the bet service in my eyes. Not taking any thing away from the store though. There is parking next to Evans. There are only a few parking spots but I never found it a problem to park. Overall a great shop offering great kit for all your cycling needs.

Cooshti is an awesome shop on Park Street that sells some really cool clothes and ranges that you…read morewon't find anywhere else in Bristol. It is probably the last really cool clothing shop left on Park Street. The style and clientele Cooshti caters for is definitely more urban that many high streets shops in Bristol. You'll find baggy jeans and some over sized t-shirts and shirts - quite unlike most shops nowadays. They also sell some seriously cool trainers which again, you'll struggle to find elsewhere in Bristol. I rarely buy stuff from Cooshti, but thats because its not really my style and unfortunately park Street doesn't have the appeal it used to for fashion/. But when I'm in the area I'll always go in and check out what they've got. It will be a sad day if Cooshti ever dropped off Park Street.

It took at least three visits before discovering that there was a women's department in the back of the shop! There's many labels on display here; Nike, Levis and Diesel to name but a few, all accompanied by a designer tag. The men and women who work here all look fantastically cool and wear their stock to the best of their ability. There's a great mix of footwear, dresses, t-shirts and hoodies with the odd one-off. Sizes are fairly small (nothing above a 14) which is disappointing, and I would say it's better for boys than it is for girls. Bit too label loving for my blood, but worth a look if street wear is your bag.

I am currently in love with a bag which is sadly priced out of my budget - but am trying to find a good excuse to buy. I also love the trendy takes on standards like the LBD and clutch handbag.

However, my girlfriend does sometimes drag me around Cabot Circus on a shopping trip and on one such occasion, I happened across G-Star Raw. When it comes to the men's clothing, there's the usual range of jeans, shirts and hoodies, but it's all a little "try-hard" for my liking. The price tags are also a bit out of my budget - I think I'd rather save up for an iPad.

If there is something you require, they make every effort to find both the shoe and the size as quickly as possible. Though this may not be the type of place a teenager looking for a high-trend 6 inch heels for a night out, they do cover everything from casual footwear to things for formal occasions. Though it may seem that this is more of your grannies 'bag' from the outside, they do have some funky footwear within, and round the back there is even a bargain room, where you can find shoes starting at a tenner a go!

When I say, it's right next to The Woods, people usually nod and say 'Yeah, we know The Woods, but I didn't know there was anything next to it..' Well there is! A shop just bursting with flavour, style and individuality. The next time you're shopping up Park Street, or drinking at The Woods, keep your eye out for this graffiti laden shop and enter its grotto of awesome tees, caps, shoes and posters; some produced by the designers at Seven, others by independent Bristol designers and also a handpicked selection of other imports. This is just a really cool shop - small but everything in there is ace.

You access it by walking down the stairs from the front door into a small shop area. There's pretty cool music playing and a small selection of clothes which isn't too confusing to navigate. Check out the little suitcase of vintage items right by the stairs, definitely a few cool finds in there, all for £10, and above that there are some awesome trainers. If you're looking for a designer tee, they print their own, for RRP of £25 but you can find sale ones for as little a tenner. It's a very low-fi shop; they don't even have a till, but appreciate any custom they get and are really grateful and friendly.

A cycling fanatic from Chile, the owner has been here only a short space of time and has already amassed a firm group of workers and customers. He explains to me (in a beautifully fluid mix of Spanish and English) that his ethos is to put back into the community what he takes out. He takes trade in with his cheap prices and honest approach, but puts back with cycling fares and mini festivals in the local park. A good service for your bike will cost about thirty pounds plus parts. You can pick up new or second hand models as well as all the reflectors, lights and accessories you could ever need. It's an independent store so they can't afford to be as cheap as some places on everything but they're a lot more personal, friendly and human. It's what you want really.

I popped in here totally clueless after damaging my bike in a fall and, rather than treat me like the clueless idiot I am and fleece me, the owner, Baltazar Padilla- aka Balti - did a great job. For £17 he gave my bike a mini-service, fixed the brake blocks, made some adjustments and sorted my mud-guard. And he was friendly, bright and breezy all the while. It seems he knows most people in the area as passers-by are always popping in to say hi. And he sells a range of essential cycling accessories for very reasonable prices as well as new or second-hand bikes.
