The staff here are passionate about cycling as a sport and probably have been since the day they first sat on a tricycle. As well as having a huge range of mountain, racing and all kinds of bikes, they are immensely knowledgeable and good at repair jobs. On the downside, it is often quite difficult to get served you really do have to fight for their attention. Be prepared for a bit of cockney banter and you can even haggle down the price on occasions. This is nothing like shopping at Evans Bike Superstore, but so much more of a personal and interesting experience.

They didnt treat me like an idiot. took the time to explain everything, and didnt pressurise me into making a decision.

A friend of a friend just got hit by a truck while he was cycling on one of London's busiest roads…read more As you know, this is not a lone incident.

Herne Hill Bicycles has all the equipment you need to keep your bike and your self in top tip shape. Helmets, gears, techno yellow vests, don't worry, they'll keep you safe.

Ron (the mechanic) has solved things I simply couldn't find a solution for anywhere else (and I regularly visit bike shops all over London). And Jonathan (the owner) has such tremendous and invaluable knowledge on all aspects of the bicycle business; if he can't get hold of some tricky little part, he'll tell you exactly where you can. Everything a small local bike shop should be, I'd heartily recommend taking the time to get to know these fellas.

Personally I think it is a great little shop, but then I do cycle round in ripped shorts and 3 year old trainers - on a bike that only gets washed by the rain. Their target market is firmly families and leisure cyclists, which is not surprising given the local area, but they do stock some serious kit too. I've used them in the past for quite a few repairs, and they have always been helpful, cheap, and fast. UPDATE***** Thought I'd update my review to let people know that Sidcup Cycles has a Saturday morning ride starting at 8.30 split into different levels of ability (something to suit everyone). I went out with them and they are fantastically friendly, even to the point that one of the guys came back for me when I got lost. I'd highly recommend both the shop and the ride - i'll be back !

I have been coming to Deer's Leap park for many years and throughly enjoy it, rain or shine…read more For those if you that don't know Deer's Leap is a dedicated mountain biking park in East Grinstead covering some 240 acres. The site offers a range of cycling tracks from family friendly tracks to tracks which run through the woods and are aimed at the more adventurous rider. There is on site parking. Now if you think your own bike may not be up to that's fine they hire bikes on the site. You can hire one at a reason price for either 1-2 hours or half a day. I have to say riding over the terrain that the park offers you may find that 1-2 hours out in the park maybe enough. Once you have ridden for as long as you want to, or because your body is telling you that is enough they have a cafe on site also. In the cafe you can get 'proper' coffee (freshly ground) alongside the usual snacks you can also get a toastie. If you have ridden your own bike they do have a 'bike wash'. So you can take your bike back home all clean and shiney. I did find out that they can provide birthday parties with include riding activities and archery. If they do that I am sure they must also provide for the corporate bodies who want to do something different for team building. If you venture down (or up) to Deer's leap remember rain or shine bring a change of clothes!!!! (There are no changing rooms but there is a toilet to change in or your car)
