The staff are helpful and knowledgeable, but don't bug you whilst you browse. They also offer free servicing for the first year, when you buy a bike.

Not too good for buying mountain bikes, but OK for lots of other things…read more I've been into The Bike Shop on Crossgates Road quite a few times over the last few weeks as I have been in the process of buying bikes for myself and my fiance. It's great for the casual cyclist. However, and it's quite a big however, they don't have that much choice of manufactures and they don't have a lot of bikes out on display. For example, they only had Specialized women's bikes built up and in the store. Their other relatively high-end manufacturer is Kona and they have some pricing issues at the moment as most people will be aware. On the plus side, the staff are extremely helpful, and they have a very good selection of kids bikes, BMX and commuter cycles. Although we bought our bikes elsewhere, we did go back to this store to purchase a car rack and a fair few other accessories and they were really helpful showing me how to set the bike rack up on my car.

We needed 2 mountain bikes for teenagers for xmas. We looked at Halfords and toys r us but soon…read morerealised their bikes were not going to last, being built with poor quality parts. So we looked at lots of specialsed bike shops that were really out of our price range. We thought Evans are a big company we will get the range we need. They had 2 bikes in the store to suit our price range but the staff were worse than disinterested. We couldn't pry the information we needed out of the member of staff. We went back on the internet and found the Bike Shop on Crossgates Road, Leeds. What an amazing experience! A massive range of quality bikes. The staff are so helpful and can't do enough for you. I can highly recommend The Bike Shop, we need 2 more bikes next year and will definitely be going back. A VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER

After watching my friend clutch and cradle nearly two grand's worth of Marin to her chest with…read moretears in her eyes, I must say I just didn't get it. How could she spend more on her bike than on her car? I didn't understand at all, nor did I understand what the big deal was, why the tears and the long face, if it was me I'd be sulking over knackering up my front end by smashing it into a tree on a cross country type bike ride and having to pay for it. She was scared to death that the integrity of her 'baby' had been compromised. The money was no object, just the quality of the service and repair. Alright then, catch you later, let me know how it goes, I called to her only to realise I was being dragged into the car with her. Damn. The three of us, me, she and the bike pull up at Bikology, it doesn't look much from the outside, but I was assured this was the place to go. Again with the cuddling of the bike, we wander in and are greeted by a smiley chappy who seemed to telepathically sense my friend's utter sense of loss. Taking it off her, they both engaged in mutual admiration of the bike, sorry Marin. He feels her pain, says it'll take a while, but it's totally fixable, he can have it as good as new. She asks a pitiful "do you promise?", followed by more reassurances. A few days later, we return, the bike looks all pretty again, and she seemed super pleased. It was a lot of money in my opinion, but again I was reassured this was a bargain, and after a test ride, she swore it was worth every penny. So excellent place to go if you've got a two wheeled treasure in sincere need of some TLC.

At this time of year, when the buses and pavements are overflowing with wide-eyed Freshers and the…read moreweather has cooled without being too freezing to consider venturing outside, bicycles seem the most appealing mode of transport around. So if you're thinking of setting yourself up on two wheels, or have an old bike that needs repairing, this emporium of all things bike is a must-visit. With new and custom build bikes at competitive prices, a workshop for servicing and repairs and friendly, knowledgeable staff, you feel that you're getting real advice to suit your needs here, rather than the hard sell you'd get at a larger chain store. For the more seasoned cyclists they do a 'bike MOT' from £30, and the fact that they also service unicycles reminds you, in case you forget, that you are in Hyde Park after all...

Good range of products at competitive prices, the last item I bought was cheaper than purchasing on the internet. The repair work is also good value, and comes with good advice. I'll certainly be shopping here for all my future bike parts/mainentance.

Nowadays, you can take your pick from a range of new bikes, often heavily discounted, or choose an 'off the peg' or custom frame. They do repair work at very reasonable prices too, and will even chrome-plate your tandem, should that be a service you ever require.
