Bike and Run started in the early 2000's when Steve Mckenzie and Nick Pearce decided to turn their passion for cycling and multisport into a business. Tony Wade joined soon after and the business has grown steadily since then and we now have a fantastic shop in East Finchley. We pride ourselves on our customer service and professionalism and try to provide a good range of products at a fair price.
Our shop is located in East Finchley and is only a short walk from East Finchley Underground station on the Northern Line. I had had enough of 'The City' and wanted a new challenge doing something I felt passionate about. In 2001 I found a small shop in East Finchley and opened a cycle and triathlon shop.

On 28 September had another service. Brilliant as ever. The perfect local bike shop. Thanks again Steve. Joel. I have used Bike and Run since I first bought a bike there in 2004. Steve and his crew have consistently provided the most excellent level of service, always top quality, and delivered with good humour. I would also happily recommend them for all your cycling needs.

I had a rather complicated case, as I have an electric cargo bike with a puncture. It takes a lot of work and patience to take out the wheel and they did it in a short time and with great results. I was a bit scared of taking the bike to any shops as electric bikes (with hydraulic brakes) can be a nightmare to fix, but not for them. Thanks for a good and quick service.

Not sure if the guy whos working today is only there for the money but I asked how much they'd charge to adjust the derailleur and was advised I'd need a full service. The bike is brand new! I just don't know how to adjust the front myself.
"Servicing: Gold, Silver or Bronze Service? Not here. A service starts from £50 for a basic tune up/safety check, but we service a bicycle on its merits. If something doesn’t need doing, then we don’t, and therefore don’t charge you extra. All our repairs are custom tailored to the bicycle - this is to ensure you’re not paying for things that you don’t

Based on my personal experience the customer service could be better. A "good morning, how can I help you... how are you today... "I always get the filling that I was not welcome... To be fair, I also saw other customers happy with the service special the ones looking to service their bicycles. They look very good on service bicycles. So, after 4 attempts I will be looking for another shop... Being a local I'm always happy to use the shops around my home...but... sadly this time I will need to look for other options.

Brilliant service, ordered Saturday 4pm and they posted them the same day - the Zone 3 heat tech socks arrived quickly so I am ready for me to brave the great outdoors on Wednesday. Great price and one of the only shops to have them in stock - might get a few more weeks out of winter swimming.! Many Thanks Phil

I bought my hybrid bike here using the CycleScheme (cycle to work scheme) and they were just brilliant! It was my first time buying a bicycle and there was a lot of paperwork involved with the CyclesScheme. I knew next to nothing about the hardware or CycleScheme process. The staff were extremely helpful and patient as I asked really silly questions and helped me to choose a bike that was a PERFECT fit and got all my paperwork sorted for the CycleScheme. I love my bike and cycle about 10 miles a day, nearly every day very comfortably. I have had it in twice for servicing and both times the staff

"The worst customer service I have experienced at a Bike Shop in North London. Unless you have lots of money to spend, you will be treated with incredible arrogance by mechanics. As for the skill, they broke something on my bike when I had only booked in for a tune up, and replaced two other things without calling to run it by me first. Isn't that why I left my number? I remained calm and polite and paid, deciding to trust their judgement. When I biked off there was suddenly a new issue with the gears that was never their before. I took it back and was accused of it always being like

I can do nothing but highly recommend Bike and Run. I bought a new mountain bike there recently and after giving it a proper ride decided that perhaps I should have gotten something a bit more road-oriented. To my surprise, the shop swapped me to a Bianchi bike that was on sale for the same price as the mountain bike I had bought. No charge. No penalty.
Well after riding for a bit on some of the rougher roads in my area, I regretted having given up the mountain bike. I was almost afraid to even approach the shop to ask about swapping again, and I figured that if they would swap it, I'd have

I can honestly say that this is the best merchant of any kind I have had the pleasure of dealing with. I visited a LOT of bike shops -- big ones, small ones, chains, local businesses, etc., before buying here, and I could not have made a better decision.
I bought a new bike from a very nice employee named John (at a nice discount) and then decided that perhaps I wanted a more road-friendly bike than a mountain bike. They made a hassle-free exchange and charged me nothing (the bikes carried the exact same price). Then, after riding the road bike a bit more on some of north London's pockmarked

I have my doubt with this shop. My wife and I were there last Saturday. We walked in the shop and no one approached us for the duration of the visit approx. 15 minutes. Well too bad, we bought two brand new Giant / Globe bikes at Shorter Rochford Bicycle on 708 High Road on the same day.
The opening hours are also too short. Getting a service done during business days is almost impossible given they only close till 6pm.
Again, I have my doubt.

Late Autumn is upon us. I'm not depressed about it. I am taking action. I am getting bike lights. I love my cycle to bits. I would be buried with it. It might happen sooner than later if I don't learn the highway code.
Bike and Run is a nicely laid out store with a really helpful staff. They have loads of bike lights and bike light sets, helmets, trainers, and claustrophobic 1 piece bike suits.
I was referred on to a cycle training provider after a good chat with one of the salesmen who was extremely knowledgable.
This is not the cheapest store around (bike lights are twice what
