Like most bike shops, John Bikes is staffed by people who clearly know what they're talking about…read more I needed a bike to ride to work and they had a good selection (not as much selection as I hoped for, but still good). I had to wait a while to be served; they get very busy in lunchtimes. For Bath, its quite a big shop. They've joined together two shops into one and a few doors down they also have a service centre.

I had to think long and hard about my rating. The shop is lovely and most of the staff is great…read more But there is this little sh*t with long hair and too much of an attitude that thinks rather highly of himself. I'm certainly not new to bikes and needed a quick fix (i was visiting a friend and had no tools on me). He takes a quick look at it and tells me I should most certainly dump it and get a new one. Something I happen to know as utter rubbish. I won't go on a rant about that situation. Long story short, a less knowledgeable costumer would've done what he suggested, and spent a fortune on a new bike. That is not costumer service and, quite frankly, a fairly dishonest thing to do. Like I said, bar that guy, the shop is great.

The store is small and compact but filled to the rafters with bikes and bike parts. The best thing about shopping like this is that the staffs years of experience means they are able to advise you properly on what bike to buy. Handy when you are taking a quickly growing child for a bike. The prices are reasonable and there is something to suit every budget. They also stock all the extras you could need and bikes come fully assembled. You can also get your bike serviced here.

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.

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.

After many years of procrastination, we finally decided to take the plunge and buy a Thorn Raven…read moreDynamic childback tandem from SJS Cycles. Several things contributed to this the 100 day moneyback guarantee, the low maintenance Rohloff internal hub gear, and the option to upgrade at a discount to the next size frame. As a test, we took the new bike to Devon for a two week holiday. The Rohloff gears (20-100) were perfect for the 1:4 climbs to and from the beaches, and the unseasonally wet weather gave the components a thorough test. Overall, the bike is very light, my 6-year old finds the upright pedalling position comfortable, and my 2-year old enjoys travelling in his childseat behind. Despite the weather, the hub gear meant all we had to do was apply some oil to the chain over the 2 week holiday. However, the allen key bolts on the Thorn-specific components had rusted after only a few days in the wet, and even the frame had a spot of rust. Considering the amount of money we paid for the bike, this was a real disappointment. If you like your toys to keep their 'new' look you will be very disappointed. Thorn have moved their frame-building offshore to Taiwan and branded their own products for seat posts, cranks and stems, and while this has kept them in business when many UK tandem manufacturers have gone bust, that is no excuse for poor quality materials. We still have 80-days to decide what to do. it would be a real shame to return the bike, so it will be interesting to see what Thorn offer as a solution.

Khush is an keen cyclist who has decided to turn his talents to servicing and repairing bikes…read more I took my bike round there last week and he gave it a complete overhaul, replaced some cables and bearings, reset the spokes, wheels and gears and all for a really good price. Not only that, he has agreed to make a custom bike for my wife, who believe me has very exacting standards (apart from husbands, obviously!). He takes in complete and parts of old bikes and recycles them into new machines. And he's hoping to start hiring some bikes out, so if you come down here and fancy cycling out across the levels, you should try here.
