Lovely helpful staff every time I've been in, lots of great kit, good advice for a novice like me (and never patronising) and always the Giant shop over the road for extra bits too. Great to have a female focused shop so near to me for proper choice and fit. They even went to the extra effort of finding me a bike at another (totally unrelated) store when they didn't have one available themselves - above and beyond in the service of more people having lovely Liv bikes 👍👍👍

AWFUL. Will never go back there again. No proper bike fitting, had to keep going back to ask advice as to why the bike was causing physical discomfort. I thought a bike fit was a standard complimentary service. Clearly not. The euphemism 'Personal Shopping Experience' costs £25, so if you are a 'normal' shopper you barely get any help. It seems only high end customers are valued, for a price. If I had wanted the 'buy something, now p*$$ off' service I would have gone to Halfords and got a far cheaper bike. The quality of the maintenance over at Giant was shoddy. The fit/size of the pannier frame

Just picked up my new Liv Langma Advanced 2 Disc today and I am thrilled with it! But not only that, the guys at Liv York are so friendly and professional. Tom was so helpful and really went that extra mile by fitting my cleats and making sure my seat was perfect before I left with my shiny new bike. Highly recommend - and the bike itself is beautiful and in another league from my 5-year-old Bianchi. Over the moon - thank you!

Horrible. Disgraceful business. Sold me a frame that was too small for me and I've had nothing but discomfort ever since. Numerous times trying to make the bike workable but they just say they don't know what the trouble is. They will keep stalling you until any refund deadline has passed. Do not trust them, they will sell you anything then wash their hands of you. Behind the smile and shiny shop is a ruthless, dishonest business practice.

Fantastic to have a Women’s only bike shop. Well done Liv
I have always received friendly service and advice here. The staff are all incredibly helpful and knowledgable
I have recently purchased a Langma which is a fantastic bike. Comfortable and responsive.
I also really like that my bike fit was completed by a woman too

Thank you for the time spent yesterday measuring me for the Liv langma advanced 1. Unfortunately the small was too big and you very kindly offered to see if you could source an extra small from one your other branches. Thank you also, for taking the time to answer my many questions about lights and pumps.

This is a fantastic shop, I highly recommend it. I have collected my new Flourish 3 today and have once again received fantastic customer service from Fiona. My first visit 2 weeks ago was amazing. I was a little nervous but quickly felt relaxed as Fiona and Phoebe were friendly and welcoming. Fiona gave gold star customer service. She really took the time to ensure that I got the correct size/style of bike and saddle type for me.
I collected my bike today and I've just had a fab test ride. The bike is so light and rides like a dream. The saddle is great. Fiona set it up perfectly before I left
