They didn't have a spare nut, but they sell the mount. It was out of stock, though. This is where the good service comes in - the woman at the counter called another nearby shop (Rathbone), confirmed they had one, and wrote down every piece of info I needed to find the part. A quick 5-minute ride down the road, and the Rathbone shop had the part ready and waiting for me. Thanks, Evans!

I stopped into Apex cycles to see if they could affordably fix my back tire so that I could be on my trodden way and the staff here were so friendly, efficient and helpful I felt a little bit of sun right there in the Apex cycle shop! Not only did they fix my tire as quick as could be, they also helped me fix my brakes, for no extra charge, simply because they didn't want me to "have an accident out there". Wow, I'm not used to random people caring about others so it was very nice for a change to experience. They even helped me figure out why my bike lock was acting so strange (aka sometimes not letting me lock it). A little oil for the lock and a new tire tube, now my lock works great, my breaks are better adjusted then I could do myself and with paying for my new tire tube, I could happily be on my merry way! See I even forgot that it was raining outside! Sometime kindness can go a long way, I really appreciated their extra help and their reasonable price to fix my tire, they've definitely made me a fan and will be my go to place when I need some bike repairs and accessories!

However, I would like to ride a bike through the park or to the market, something along those lines. So to find a bike I started with Apex Cycles. The staff at Apex is very knowledgeable and I liked that they asked me very specific questions to help me find a bike. After a few discussions about what I would use the bike for I was shown a few items and able to make a decision on what kind of bike I wanted. I left the shop with a good idea of what kind of bike I would like and made sure to drop lots of hints for Santa.

Have been here several times, mostly with small issues and once for a service for my old foldable…read morebike. Also took my new replacement folding bike for them to check as soon as I had got it. I trust these guys this much. Each time they've been shy but perfectly happy to help and fix things. They're simply guys who love bikes and love fixing bikes and they do it with a smile. And when they fix stuff, they've usually found something else on the bike that they can improve and throw it in for free. As an example, my rear mud guard was loose - always had been - so when I took it in to fix my chain I just expected a new and oiled chain at the end of it. When I got the bike back, not only had they fixed my brakes and my chain they had also made from scratch some means of stopping my rear mud guard from bouncing all over the place. No charge. No problems. Don't expect this every time you go but it shows how far they go to make sure everyone leaves with a smile. They're great :D

So I left work early to pick it up the day I was told, only to find that my bike had not been checked yet. So I had to leave work early another day of the week to pick up the bike. When I got there, I was given the quote and a bill of £35 just to check my bike!! So I obviously argued this specifying the person that I had checked that I would not pay anything for this service and then in the end I didn't pay. But they confirmed that I would normally have to pay £35 just to have my bike checked to get a repair quote. So I explained to them that no other bike store that I have taken my bike to for quotes has ever charged me since they don't do nothing to my bike other than look at it and that it was outrageous that they would charge for it. Not only that, the quote was for £161 and I finally got the same work done in another store for £83. Unbelievable. I will never even look at their window shop again just in case they charge me for it too!

From fabulous cycle stickers, to boutique tire valve covers, this shop is a gift buying dream. This chap really knows what he's doing when it comes to cool. The minimal clutter separates this shop from other bike joints. The beautiful bikes are lined up in order of brand with a whole wall of quirky and unusual cycle helmets in the downstairs area. There is also a little workshop where they fit poorly bikes. How cool is that! It's a trek out if you don't live in the area but so worth it for the brilliant shopping experience. A small staff means that you know who's serving you and you'll see them on your next visit, as after the first time, for certain you'll be back. Now all I need to do is buy a bike!

I thought this shop was immaculate looking with all the single speed , mountains and hybrids lined beautifully. I was too busy eyeing up the pink and blue vintage styled ones... don't get me wrong I love my baby but silver ain't my favourite colour. Downstairs had more bicycles with all their quirky styled helmet, I mean I saw a MJ styled helmet and a lovely flowery pink one which they did not have in my size :(. It is also a repair shop downstairs as well. Upstairs with the bicycles are all the other cycle accessories from locks, bells, clothes, repair kits etc. I bought my baby new bell which said "I love my bike" for five pounds which a really good bell not like my bad excuse for a bell that came with my bicycle.
