A friendly, independent cycling shop which seems well tuned into the locality and cycling fan boys…read moreand girls across the city. Specialist shops like this are always going to cost a bit to shop in, but I was pleasantly surprised to get a decent bike in the for about £200. The staff initially appear to be reassuringly knowledgeable, capable and friendly. However, every time I have been in there I have ended up with the same member of staff dealing with me. He appears to be unable to set my gears up right and when I took my bike in for a service and mentioned that they were not right he some how managed to make them worse. I was surprised by this. But they do seem quite busy which might have been the problem? What should be an excellent shop has been marred by of incidents of ineptness; perhaps I just got unlucky?

Woodrup is a trusty local independent bike shop with friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff…read more They are always eager to give advice but equally happy to let you browse if you'd prefer. They are well-stocked with high quality cycling equipment and have a broad range of products for all kinds of cyclists and price-ranges. The shop is a good size and neatly stocked with a pleasant, welcoming atmosphere. They also do a wide range of repair services and the quality of their work can be evidenced by the fact that they also service the bikes of local police and paramedics! I recently bought a bike lock there and they were happy to give honest advice on the quality versus price dilemma, making me feel confident that I'd made the best choice for my budget.

Biketyke is a local bike shop that sells electric bikes as well as services and bike repairs…read more Irvin and Paul who run the business have years of experience in bike repairs and service and their customer service is second to none. Both are very knowledgeable about all aspects of bikes and offer free assessments before any work is carried out. Their range of Batribike ebikes also offer exceptional value for money with probably the best warranties available in the U.K. They also offer 12 months interst free credit and Cycle To Work Schemes.

It's all about the bike!! The Cycle Hub is the perfect quayside meeting point or pit stop for…read morecyclists or walkers. I've been here a few times, particularly in the summer due to the outdoor seating area offering a fab view of Newcastle Quayside. The Hub offers bike hire and repair facilities as well as providing fortnightly social bike rides! What draws me in is the fab little cafe as I'm a sucker for homemade cakes (yesterday's choice being the caramel shortbread)! Always served by friendly faces and although the service can be a little slow in peak times, it is worth the wait!

Bicycle! Bicycle! I want to ride my Bike!…read more This place is a very cool bike repair/rental shop. Connected is a cafe! A very popular location for bike gangs to meet up. The chapters gather more heavily on the weekends. The cafe inside has a great selection of food and drinks! Sodas, waters, juices and even BEER! I had the "famous" bacon sandwich... Skeptical as always when people call something famous. It was really nice. Lovely fresh bread! The bacon came from a pig with a nice personality. I'm curious about the other food they offer. Will return.

Beverley's 'other' bike shop, this is the complement to Minster Cycles. This is the shop where you…read morecome when your bike isn't the latest Specialized or Giant. If you need a widget or half a crank then this is the place that will be able to help. The proprietor is about as helpful as it's possible to be and gives excellent and unbiased advice. They can carry out anything from a puncture repair to a full service. They keep a range of second-hand and new bikes and in particular have quite a few kids' bikes.

After watching my friend clutch and cradle nearly two grand's worth of Marin to her chest with…read moretears in her eyes, I must say I just didn't get it. How could she spend more on her bike than on her car? I didn't understand at all, nor did I understand what the big deal was, why the tears and the long face, if it was me I'd be sulking over knackering up my front end by smashing it into a tree on a cross country type bike ride and having to pay for it. She was scared to death that the integrity of her 'baby' had been compromised. The money was no object, just the quality of the service and repair. Alright then, catch you later, let me know how it goes, I called to her only to realise I was being dragged into the car with her. Damn. The three of us, me, she and the bike pull up at Bikology, it doesn't look much from the outside, but I was assured this was the place to go. Again with the cuddling of the bike, we wander in and are greeted by a smiley chappy who seemed to telepathically sense my friend's utter sense of loss. Taking it off her, they both engaged in mutual admiration of the bike, sorry Marin. He feels her pain, says it'll take a while, but it's totally fixable, he can have it as good as new. She asks a pitiful "do you promise?", followed by more reassurances. A few days later, we return, the bike looks all pretty again, and she seemed super pleased. It was a lot of money in my opinion, but again I was reassured this was a bargain, and after a test ride, she swore it was worth every penny. So excellent place to go if you've got a two wheeled treasure in sincere need of some TLC.

At this time of year, when the buses and pavements are overflowing with wide-eyed Freshers and the…read moreweather has cooled without being too freezing to consider venturing outside, bicycles seem the most appealing mode of transport around. So if you're thinking of setting yourself up on two wheels, or have an old bike that needs repairing, this emporium of all things bike is a must-visit. With new and custom build bikes at competitive prices, a workshop for servicing and repairs and friendly, knowledgeable staff, you feel that you're getting real advice to suit your needs here, rather than the hard sell you'd get at a larger chain store. For the more seasoned cyclists they do a 'bike MOT' from £30, and the fact that they also service unicycles reminds you, in case you forget, that you are in Hyde Park after all...

I do NOT recommend this company. I had used them in the past and their repair work is adequate but…read moreI will never be using this company again. They add in unexpected costs that were never quoted and that I am just expected to pay without prior agreement. I phone them up to query this and all I get is a half-hearted apology. Thoroughly disappointed!! Do NOT use their services!

Ever so recently I decided to buy a bicycle to accompany my already bike mad boyfriend on rides…read moreout. We browsed most of the bike shops in york and finally decided on buying from Fulford cycles. What set them aside from the other shops, apart from the huge and varied range of shiny (bike porn) as my boyfriend calls it, was the helpfulness of the staff and the attention to detail in finding the right bike for me. Most of the other bike shops just pulled a bike from the rack asked me to sit on it and after lowering the seat said yeah !thats the bike for you and that was it. At Fulford cycles they asked which kind of bike I was after, how much riding did I expect to do where I would mainly be cycling etc so as to get a bigger picture of bike style and spec. Once I had decided on the bike (mountain bike) I was then measured for seat height, distance from bars (reach). they tried various stem length to find the right one and then even replaced saddle for a more comfortable one. Even the tyres were changed for me to a more town riding hybrid style. Basically I got a tailor made bike.Overall I was very impressed with the shop, very clean well set out, lots of stock, very friendly, knowledgable staff.
