My wife and I made early plans to rent bikes from Wight Cycle Hire for the day, but of course with…read moreUK weather you never know if the day you plan will be dry. We got lucky on this day and ended up on the Yarmouth ferry under dreary skis, with the promise of afternoon sun. It was a short walk from the Yarmouth ferry terminal to Wight Cycle Hire, and what a perfect location, right on the bike path created from the old rail line. We were late by several hours, but the owner had faith in us, and he arrived at the bike shop the same time we did. The bikes were very nice - well maintained, easy to ride, and with the necessary gearing to get you up the formidable hills that you will find on the Isle of Wight. The owner and staff were very helpful, informative and friendly. We had a beautiful 30 mile ride, all made possible by Wight Cycle Hire! Highly recommended if you cycle.

Bill Temple the owner obviously values profit margins over customer service and issue resolution. The measure of any business is how they react to a customer issue and the reaction to an issue. The reaction thus far has been 5 emails unanswered, not even the basic courtesy of an acknowledgement, 2 phone calls, 1 with agreed actions for resolution , 1 follow up call unanswered. If you want an example how NOT to do business, how to treat customers in the worst possible way then these guys are exactly that! Do not buy from them under any circumstances!

Get out of all the traffic snarl ups, in fact, they might decrease! and see Poole without stress! There aren't many hills in Poole, really it's one big long hill, with a few dips, and a slights increase in gradient in one place.well big a increase really. To get to the beaches though, there's really only Evening Hill, and if my daughter can slog it, I reckon any healthy person can! Ooh, imagine cyclying from Sandbanks to Bournemouth Pier or further, stopping off to have a drink or a swim. Imagine cycling along the Quay and Baiter, and going on to Sandbanks! Along Holes Bay and to Wareham! A place steeped in history. or further to Corfe Castle.or take the Sandbanks ferry to Studland and cycle back to Poole the scenic, opposite way! Ooh, this is really exciting! You can see so much more and stop where you want without needing to park! And no nasty emmissions either. Summer would be revolutionised in Poole! Some say the traffic here is as bad as London.we do get some tail backs! It really is bad at peak times. All the bikes have alloy frames and wheels, 18 or 21 gears (oh you don't need that many!), front suspension and disc or vee brakes. 01202 855383 / 07796 322292 Have fun!!

The Poole extension of Rockets and Rascals has taken the baton handed over by the flagship Plymouth branch and run with it. I'll be honest, I'm biased. I was a regular at the Plymouth store and will be here in Poole now I'm local. They are friendly, helpful, community minded, independent and generally pretty darned good. They brew coffee and build good bikes. They cater to mummies and pushchairs, tourists and hardcore cyclists looking for a caffeine fix. They are not cheap, but they are inexpensive. There is a subtle difference, and one which is worth the extra few pennies. If you are looking for an eclectic cafe with good music, excellent food and outstanding coffee look no further. They even have regular rideouts and a loyalty card scheme. Bonus!
