Enjoy the thrill and pleasure of cycling through the beauty that is the Afan Valley with our full range of cycles, helmets and gear. If you are traveling to the Afan valley for the weekend and don't have time to get a part or repair carried out during the week, give us a call. Ben has just guided us above one of the highest sheer drops and looking back it comes clear that we teetered perilously close to the edge.
It's a good job he's like a walking talking map. Our personal touch is just one of the things that make us stand out from the crowd. Having ridden all over the world and experienced all varieties of mechanical issues, we feel we have taken our best and worst experiences and brought them together to establish our motto: To keep you riding!

There's something for everyone in the Afan Valley, especially with our action packed off-piste packages.

We hired three bikes and were lucky to have same day availability! but I do recommend you book in advance! The service is friendly and and professional, but more importantly the bikes were literally new and superb quality! The cost of hire depends on what you have; we only wanted half days hire, but weren't offered this and had to hire the bikes for the day... Being newbies to mountain biking, after 3 hours, we were done and exhausted! The trails are all perfectly signposted and there is different trails for beginners to those die hard Red Bull riders!

Over the years, Ben and his team have always exceeded my expectations. Professional advice, speedy turn-around of jobs and getting me and my riding buddies out of sticky situations like replacing a broken brake lever and rear mech so we could carry on with the ride. Well done all for superb service. We are looking forward to visiting Afan and the Bike Shed when we are out of this lockdown fiasco.

Strange experience altogether. 3 of us had full suspension bikes for 2 days. One bike front brake pads were worn through fully (metal on metal) by half way through the day. We swapped the fronts for the rears while miles from Ben's place. On return, instead of apologising for overlooking the almost completely worn pads when the bike had last come back, the owner attempted to avoid any responsibility whatsoever in one of the strangest conversations I have ever had in my life. Truly infuriating. If we could have rented somewhere else the next day, we would have.
In summary.
Bikes: check them over

My Dad took a school group here last week and he is posting using my account. It was the largest group of children that Afan Valley Bike Shed had ever handled. They did so with courtesy, brilliant advice and really could not have been more helpful. Several of the teachers will come back this Summer with their own families, such was the level of enjoyment had. The children could not believe how good their bikes were. One group of more experienced cyclists even went up and did the Blue Scar trail. They had the cycle of their young lives.We were in the area all week and for many this was their favourite
