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.

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.

I walk through the door behind my boyfriend and am hit instantly by the smell of bikes and of men…read more This is a man's shop and you'd better know it. We wander through the aisles, knowing what we are looking for (a lock and a chain for his bike) but unsure where to find them in amongst all of the other equipment. The confusion must show on our faces but all of the sales people are busy so we eventually manage to navigate ourselves in the right direction. Looking at the large range of locks on offer we frown a little at how expensive they are but decide to go for it anyway. Then, he realises he's forgotten his wallet and we have to leave anyway. A few days later, his bike was stolen. The moral of the story is a) always buy a lock for your bike and b) make sure you go back to this shop, where they sell everything you could possibly want for your bike. And if it's not in stock? They've got a website.

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.

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.
