This shop couldn't have been more helpful - my bottom bracket disintegrated and I needed the bike to get to work. They managed to fit the work into their already fully booked schedule, completed the repair quicker than I could have hoped and for a fair price too. I don't live in the area but if I did they would be my go to local bike shop!

Friendly, efficient service at a good price. The best of shopping local. Instead of spend hundreds on a new bike, I paid a fraction of that to have my old one completely overhauled. 5 star.

Crackling wee shop. Clearly busy with the number of bikes in for a service which was a good sign for me. Friendly staff, speedy turnaround and very fair prices. Will be going back here from now on.

Wouldn't take my bike or my sons anywhere else. Always fair with prices and a quick response. Bernard and Jay are always friendly and professional and the work is always top quality.

Beware of poor customer service. My bike broke down near Portobello around 08:00 this morning on a cycle from central Edinburgh. I was stuck and ideally needed quick repair to cycle back home. Waited for this bike shop to open at 09:00 and was met by confrontational staff who seemed to be offended by me asking if it would be possible for a quick repair. I said I lived in central Edinburgh so if I was to get a repair in Portobello it would really need to be quick. They seemed to misinterpret this as an attack by me on the quality/speed of their services which it was not. Walked back to Edinburgh

Excellent service by BG Cycles in these challenging times. Booked my MTB in to be changed from a 27 speed to a 10 speed using a Shimano Deore groupset. Dropped the bike off and it was ready for the collection the following day. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and excellent prices. Thanks again.

If I could give 6 stars, I would do so. The staff is knowledgeable, very friendly, excellent prices. They literally resurrected my precious MONGOOSE PRO within a day. I had been struggling to repair an issue it had in 3 other shops and no one could fix the problem. I just cannot thank them enough. They just earned a loyal customer! Thank you!
