The Semaphore Cycleworx is smaller than its nearby Port Road equivalent, but stocks a rather…read moredifferent range of bicycles. This shop sell a lot of new vintage style bikes, with high handlebars, huge comfy seats and a maximum speed of around 15 km per hour (unless you're going down an enormous hill). To balance this, they have a small range of road racers, as well as a good range of hybrids. They've got quite a few kids' bikes, which the Port Road store doesn't deal in, so it's a great bike shop for families. The prices here are quite decent, and it's worth looking out for older stock or any specials, because you can get yourself a bargain here.

This Cycleworks, one of only three in SA, is a great bike shop. They have a large range of…read morecommuters, hybrids, mountain bikes and road racers, as well as tons of accessories and clothes. The guys who run this shop, Craig and Andy, are both fantastic to deal with - laid-back, friendly, and more than willing to help you out at short notice. I bought my bike here at the start of the year, and they knocked about $100 off the price, because I asked nicely. They then looked after me with a free service (which comes with all their bikes) with only a day's turnaround - surprisingly fast. I highly recommend dealing with these guys - their bikes are good quality, good prices, and they know what they're talking about.

Just had my bike serviced by Rushy's for the first time, and can't say nice enough things about…read moreCiaron (pronounced 'Kieran', like Perkins) Rush and his business. He charges half what the bike shops in town charge, does a better job, and does it with a smile. A standard service will set you back $50 or $60, and he returns your bike looking and working like the day you bought it. If you live nearby, he'll pick your bike up and drop it back off for no extra charge - he just dropped mine back on Easter Sunday, after collecting it on Good Friday (!). So, for anyone in the inner-north-west of Adelaide, or who can get here easily enough, Rushy's comes highly recommended!

I have been a sports junkie ever since my days in the womb, where I had a 9 month run as league…read morechampion! Since that time though I have played every sport under the sun, shade and often under the weather also! In the old days there were two sports stores, the only two that any respectable (and fashionable) sportsman would go. One has closed (and is currently a ladies underware store I believe....nice) and the other is still going, stronger than ever in Bailetti Sports on Grote. Now located in a far mor emodern store that its old digs, Bailetti's has everything you could ever need for pretty much every sort you could dream of (although I didn't see any curling stones when I was last in). The Prices are pretty standard, but you can come across a super special or two in their clearance room or between seasons. In terms of selection and variety there are others around of a similar, but due to Bailetti being an SA Icon, it will get my vote every time!

I love sport, particularly soccer, variety, fashionable clothes, quality product, fair price and…read morelocal businesses. Bailetti ticks all these boxes and more. Easily located on Grote, there is plenty of street parking (don't go Friday night though) and it is a big store with heaps to choose from. They have a VIP card which always gets you discount, friendly staff, the store is never that busy and there is a sale section in a separate room with heaps of bargains for a range of ages, sexes, sizes and tastes. I like their range of soccer boots and the people that serve you know about the boots and find ones that fit and suit you best. Bailetti is a great sport store, with heaps of equipment as well. They can also order things for you and customise products with numbers, names etc. And they cater for teams as well, sorting out strips etc.
