Ashamed to say I didn't really know this place existed until I saw the old frame on the lamppost. Fortuitous as I was just returning from at least 2 bike repair shops who told me they had no availability for at least a couple of weeks so I popped in on the off chance. In summary, the staff couldn't have been more helpful and fixed my son's bike in 20 minutes for a very reasonable fee. Excellent service and an excellent range of bikes and accessories.

What an amazing shop and fantastic customer service. I am relatively new to cycling and went to buy my first road bike. Patrick was really helpful and took the time to explain what I needed and why. This is a family run business and when it came to my bike fit, Patricks son who is also a wealth of knowledge was really helpful. I love my new bike and the experience of having it built to my specifications. Thank you.

Such a friendly local bike shop. No need to go anywhere else! Products are fantastic and level of service can't be beaten. I recently purchased a custom built Schils carbon road bike for my wife and she has had an on-site bike fit as part of the service and she feels so comfortable riding it. Thank you Patrick, Nicki and all the Interbike family
