Large bike shop with a range of good priced bikes from cheap to the more decent, costly models…read more I've bought two bikes from here over the past few years and am about to buy another - the service is second to none, with the friendly staff always happy to spend time dishing out advice and helping when in need - pumping up tyres, doing emergency inner tube changes to save me a job. I've been into loads of bike shops around Brighton and always come back to this one to buy as it's always the best deal and service is spot on. Not sure why there are negative reviews on here for this shop, can only assume as they're a few years old that they were about previous staff.

Although the selection is quite limited - I was looking for a roadbike - the curation is good, and…read morebike I chose was sharp and well reviewed (Giant Defy 3). Pricing was in line with online costs, but much nicer to get personal service and shop locally. The manager was super helpful (quite new, so maybe not around when the other reviews were written), and gave me a lot of time as a newbie to show me around my new purchase, and how to maintain it properly etc. They fitted extra stuff on the bike, and modified it there and then. Really helpful service. Came away happy. Prices might be keener online for accessories, but my experience were bikes were in the same ballpark, yet I get continued help and servicing on my bike for months...

Then, I found G-Whizz with whom I had a short but positive discussion. They don't do appointments so you have to take your bike down, to their place just off Hove seafront, discuss the problems, leave the bike and wait to be contacted to pick it up again. When I collected my bike, they fitted a new free-wheel mechanism and a new chain at a very reasonable price. I rode my bike home to Woodingdean, in light rain and the bike is as good as the time when I bought it new and first road it. Outstanding work G-Whizz, I highly recommend you to everyone and you will be my 'go to' bike repairers.

Gordon and his team always advise you extensively of the potential work/repairs/replacements and cost to get your bike back in top working order. They also offer a wide range of various bike paraphernalia (lights, locks etc), plus if they don't have what you require in stock, they are happy to order it in for you. Moreover, I recently had to return a relatively new halogen front light which had stopped working. It was immediately replaced for a brand new one with no quibbles whatsoever. I cannot fault the excellent service I receive from Gordon at Q-Whizz and I thoroughly recommend them for all your biking needs.

If you walked in a cake shop and found egg whisks and flour, I guess it would be a similar reaction. Anywho, Rayment has a wide range of bikes and accessories to go with the tools and parts needed to build 'em. So you can pick up some cycling gloves and shoes if you so desire, or perhaps some lights and visibility strips? You'll also get a good service coming here, with the friendly staff briefing you on want you'll need if your looking to up your game in the biking world. Prices vary, but some bikes hit the cost of cars with one bike widening my eyes with its £1400 price tag... I assume it had a motor, or was filled with diamonds or something as that seems astronomical! I asked my biking friend though, who said that this isn't exactly unheard of. The chaps at Rayment are nice and bright enough that I reckon you'd get advice and help if you busted your bike and needed a hand getting it seen to, but then don't quote me on that... In summary? In my opinion, Rayment seems better than Halfords.

Originally hell bent on getting second hand bikes, we trawled the Open Market and visited Grandad's but alas, he could not meet our needs. Upon returning to Rayment's we informed the staff member of our meagre budget and expected to be turned away, but were pleasantly surprised to pick up two good quality mountain bikes for reasonable prices. Mine's bright pink, a Concept Mad Cow design, which cost me a lovely £100, and my boyfriend's was a Coyote, costing a little more at £200. We both got considerable discounts and got a bike pump thrown in for free. The service was brilliant, the staff very knowledgeable and happy to help, and once we had chosen we returned 20 minutes later after the bikes had been maintenance checked. The shop offers a free 6 week service after purchase, and as well as selling top notch bikes, there's a host of accessories and safety gadgets. Definitely worth a look if you're after friendly, reliable and good quality service.

They carry out repairs and have a concise range of stock that should cater to just about all the needs of a modern BMX enthusiast. The shop itself is a little on the small side, but with the shop's long Victorian windows letting light pour in on the stock and sanded wooden floors this feels like a much bigger space than it perhaps is. The shop is run and owned by a chap called Bob who you should find behind the counter most days of the week wearing a Bert and Ernie t-shirt and dispensing advice to a gaggle of tight-jeaned Gromms. Bob seems to have been BMXing since the sport began and despite seeming to be something of a young eccentric he certainly knows his stuff.

It was on loudspeak at work and my colleague actually looked shocked at his rudeness on the phone.

I complained to both Evans and Sports Direct (who now own Evans, which explains a lot) and both refused to refund. I only got a refund in the end by issuing a chargeback thorough my bank.
