Finnigans may not be the biggest or the best bicycle shop, nor the fanciest, but it does have…read moreheritage, and is an independent bicycle shop. It's definitely a family based cycles stores, with better pricing than most, and all the things a first time cyclist would need to start. Repairs and services are offered too, but this store strikes me more as a great place for a beginner cyclist to head towards. All the advice and equipment can be offered for anyone finding their cyclist legs. Very much a family oriented store, by which I mean one that provides and accommodates families whom are wishing to cycle or whom wish to have a family member begin cycling. Supportive and the place you'd find mums and dads with the kids. Puncture repairs available here too.

I treat my bike so poorly that I honestly should not be allowed to own one. I've left it out in the…read morerain for days at a time, popped the wheels at least four or five times and even had a whole wheel fall off. It was the latter that took me to Velo Cycles. I walked my busted bike in expecting a judging look from the staff and a 'tsk tsk' of the tongue. Instead, they immediately grabbed my bike, strung it up and said "this'll take about 15 minutes." EFFICIENCY. The boys even gave her a brisk polish and fixed some loose screws (I told you I treat it badly) and then gave her a quick spin around the block to make sure it was a comfortable ride. Now THAT is good customer service. Velo is stocked with bikes and all the accessories you could imagine, and truly is a one-stop shop for keen cyclists and noobs alike.

I've been going to them for years. Booked bike in for new cassette and chain, plus possibly chain…read morerings and gear cable. An expensive repair. Guy serving me refused to accept the bike unless I also paid $30 for new front rotor. I explained I already had a new rotor at home that I could fit myself (5 minute job). He said unless i agreed to new rotor bike was unsafe for test ride. I had just fitted a new rotor for the back disc brake and new pads so it was 100% and the front brakes could still lock up the front wheel. I had bought new rotor to fit when I discovered gears issue so planned to do it afterwards. Needless to say I won't be back! Very inconvenient as I need the bike to get to work, and had waited a week for the service booking.

I've recently purchased a new bike after my last beautiful red bike was stolen *shakes fist at sky,…read moreloses faith in humanity*. However, upon my first ride I realised something was not quite right... My back brakes were sticking making for a slightly challenging pedal. I rang the distributor of this particular bike and was told it was a two-week wait to get it looked at. TWO WEEKS?! Ain't nobody got time for that. So I set off down Lygon Street, hoping that the friendly fellow at Bikes Please might be able to help. He did. Upon looking at my bike he instantly knew what was wrong and took it into his shed. 10 minutes later he rode back out, pumped up my tires, tweaked a few gears and sent me on my way. "But let me give you money!" I screamed. He would only take $5 off me, saying it was an easy gig and he couldn't possibly charge me anymore. Easy or no, that level of customer service has ensured that I will be a repeat customer to Bikes Please anytime something goes wrong. A general fix-up of your bike will only set you back around $35 regardless. Fast, efficient and friendly are three unbeatable characteristics of any local business. Bravo.
