In addition to the bikes there's also the gear: the clothing, the helmets, the gloves and the accessories. All of this stuff can be grabbed here too as well as a good on site workshop. Repairs, MOTs and any technical questions can all be helped with here. You really get the impression that these guys don't just know motorbikes, they live motorbikes.

I found their customer service and after sales service really poor. I had a 3 month warranty on my…read morescooter. Within that time I had to take it back to the shop at least 6 times for repair (each time being left without transport for 3 days) for 3 separate faults - 3 times it was for the same fault that hadn't been fixed (and still isn't!). As I had had to take it back so many times, and the battery was really poor the owner agreed to give me another battery for free. When I picked the scooter up (the day before my warranty ended) I asked the owner if a new battery had been put in. He confirmed that they had. 4 months later I called to request the details of the battery they supposedly put in, as mine was really bad and the owner tells me there's no record of them putting battery in it. I told him that he had assured me they had. He replied "I don't remember that it was 4 months ago". I said that he could put one in now then and he refused, saying "it's not an everlasting deal, that was 4 months ago". Even though I reminded him that he's not done it in the first place he still refused. Would not recommend them to ANYONE!

Recently passed my A2 licences with Phoenix and it is a fantastic training school. Each instructor…read moreI had was very knowledgeable and really helped nail down the techniques required to get the first time pass.

If you are thinking of learning to ride a motorbike, then please DO NOT go to this training school…read more Myself and colleague went there last week and we had the worst experience ever. The guy who was doing the training, called Paul was incredibly rude, impatient, patronising and condescending. Considering we had never been on a motorbike before, he was an awful instructor. He rushed through the training session and was very patronising. I ended up crashing the bike into the hedges and hurt my shoulder badly, tearing several tendons. He had no empathy whatsoever, about whether I had hurt myself, and was more concerned about his bike!! Had he taken the time to explain more about bike control and what to do when you lose control, he focused more on patronising the students and rushing the lesson. My colleague continued to the end of the training course, whilst I sat out and observed them, with a very sore shoulder. I am sure there are many good instructors out there in Bristol, but this Paul guy is certainly NOT. Please do not waste your money going to his courses but alternatively find an instructor who is capable of teaching.

Never been in here before, neither would I walk in here for any reason myself, it was quite fun seeing a boy taking time in a shop for once. They are a huge shop, selling bikes, and everything else that's needed for one - helmets, jackets, helmets, spares and whatever else! Upstairs are the bikes themselves, which are very nice to look at indeed. Staff here are friendly, and are around for information and help, but never pushy when you're wandering around. They are family run, and they do actually provide really good prices; some of which are cheaper than what you can find on the internet. I'd say that the selection in here is really huge,and if you're looking for anything bike related, you should come in here and have a browse.

A cycling fanatic from Chile, the owner has been here only a short space of time and has already amassed a firm group of workers and customers. He explains to me (in a beautifully fluid mix of Spanish and English) that his ethos is to put back into the community what he takes out. He takes trade in with his cheap prices and honest approach, but puts back with cycling fares and mini festivals in the local park. A good service for your bike will cost about thirty pounds plus parts. You can pick up new or second hand models as well as all the reflectors, lights and accessories you could ever need. It's an independent store so they can't afford to be as cheap as some places on everything but they're a lot more personal, friendly and human. It's what you want really.

I popped in here totally clueless after damaging my bike in a fall and, rather than treat me like the clueless idiot I am and fleece me, the owner, Baltazar Padilla- aka Balti - did a great job. For £17 he gave my bike a mini-service, fixed the brake blocks, made some adjustments and sorted my mud-guard. And he was friendly, bright and breezy all the while. It seems he knows most people in the area as passers-by are always popping in to say hi. And he sells a range of essential cycling accessories for very reasonable prices as well as new or second-hand bikes.

Above all, staff in this shop are both honest and professional, and won't take you for a ride (if you'll excuse the pun). I bought my cycle to these guys half expecting to be quoted another ridiculous price for mysterious damages. However, staff gave it a thorough service (for a very reasonable price) and insisted it was basically in good condition, minus a few minor and easily fixable problems. That was over a year ago and I've had no problems with it since.
