buying a bike
Why choose a specialist cycle retailer?
Your local specialist cycle shop can offer a choice of quality products combined with specialist skills and advice to match your needs.
It is this approach which means that whether you are buying your first bike for yourself or your child, getting an old bike back to its former glory or dream of becoming the next bike riding sensation - your local cycle shop can help you make the most of your bike.
Unlike non-specialist retailers who sell bikes driven by accounts departments and marketing strategies, and do not have trained experienced staff, locally based specialists know their stuff, often still run by their owners, and are as keen to provide good service and advice as they are selling you a new bike.
It is this philosophy that means their greatest value is their passion and service accompanied by a range of products and ability to offer that personal touch whatever your needs.
The owners and staff in many shops remain keen cyclists themselves and most have a great deal of experience coupled with industry recognised Cytech accreditation, helping to ensure they are able to correctly set-up and maintain bikes to British Standards and manufacturer's specifications. As well as making sure they are the right fit for you and
your cycling needs.
To your local cycle shop you are a valued customer not a statistic on the balance sheet. By buying from a specialist cycle retailer you gain access to a local source of knowledge and expertise that you can rely on.
