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

Not exactly local to us but this is a fantastic shop, it has many unique products.such as Luck shoes and they really know what they are talking about. My wife loves her shorts she bought from their own brand collection.

Just want to say a huge thank you to the team at Schils. Went in today as looking to get a new bike after a number of years away and couldn’t believe how helpful they were. I spent a good hour in there discussing options and packages and left trying to decide what colour scheme to have.👍
