Not too good for buying mountain bikes, but OK for lots of other things…read more I've been into The Bike Shop on Crossgates Road quite a few times over the last few weeks as I have been in the process of buying bikes for myself and my fiance. It's great for the casual cyclist. However, and it's quite a big however, they don't have that much choice of manufactures and they don't have a lot of bikes out on display. For example, they only had Specialized women's bikes built up and in the store. Their other relatively high-end manufacturer is Kona and they have some pricing issues at the moment as most people will be aware. On the plus side, the staff are extremely helpful, and they have a very good selection of kids bikes, BMX and commuter cycles. Although we bought our bikes elsewhere, we did go back to this store to purchase a car rack and a fair few other accessories and they were really helpful showing me how to set the bike rack up on my car.

We needed 2 mountain bikes for teenagers for xmas. We looked at Halfords and toys r us but soon…read morerealised their bikes were not going to last, being built with poor quality parts. So we looked at lots of specialsed bike shops that were really out of our price range. We thought Evans are a big company we will get the range we need. They had 2 bikes in the store to suit our price range but the staff were worse than disinterested. We couldn't pry the information we needed out of the member of staff. We went back on the internet and found the Bike Shop on Crossgates Road, Leeds. What an amazing experience! A massive range of quality bikes. The staff are so helpful and can't do enough for you. I can highly recommend The Bike Shop, we need 2 more bikes next year and will definitely be going back. A VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER

22 Dec 11. I ordered a basic 18 Speed Mountain bike from Kendell Cycles of Castleford…read more 23 Dec 11. I paid for and collected my new 18 Spd mountain bike. 26 Dec 11. I attempted to go cycling with my daughter but the rear tyre was flat. I inflated the rear tyre but at the bottom of the first large hill I found I could not change gear. The left control for the front derailleur sounded mechanical faulty and the front derailleur would not change from/to any gear. The right hand controller felt better than the left and gears 1-4 did seem to function. 29 Dec 11. Returned bike to Kendell cycles they refused to refund my money. I contacted the shop and trading standards in writing. 03 Feb 12. Returned from time away with work and called Kendell cycles. I asked if they would test the bike on the road and let me now how it went. They verbally agreed. 17 Feb 12. Drove to Kendell cycles to find they had not found time in their busy schedule to test the bike and get back to me. They stated it was working. The bike would still not change gear so it was taken to Halfords where for a cost of £24.98 they fitted a new inner tube and rebuilt the bike. Kendell cycles have no Quality Control and exhibit no customer service. My advice would be to avoid the shop.

This place is amazing!…read more I have a bike which I regularly take down to service. They have the tools and the expertise and will guide you as much or as little as you need when repairing anythign on your bike. What an amazing idea. They ask that non-members donate between £2 and £10 based on how much help you've had, plus they have spare parts to sell you (lots of secondhand components, and they're not for profit so everything is extremely reasonable). Really well kitted out and nice, welcoming volunteers :)

Then when someone did serve me he walked off halfway through me choosing something. On a number of visits the service did improve slightly.
