For many years Halfords operated out of a big building on Charlotte Road. This was easy to get to…read moreand had an attached service centre but the building was cold, draughty and had the ambience of an aircraft hanger. As of October 2008 they have relocated, making the short hop over to the Mostyn Champneys estate. The new shop is much more pleasant and appears cleaner and brighter. The staff all appear to be friendly and helpful. Theres a mezzanine floor for the bike department which is well stocked with a large selection of both bikes and equipment. The ground floor has all the car stuff and is well stocked despite being smaller than the old place. The service centre has stayed behind but that was franchised out years ago so it isn't part of Halfords anymore. All in all and nice shop if you need parts for your car or bike.

Post purchase servicing quality is really good, and not overpriced, but I think its best to book a service well ahead as the workshop is always busy. I have had an occasion where I needed some urgent adjustments done to the indexing ahead of a sportive I had entered - despite it being the busiest time for the shop they really went 'the extra mile' in making sure that the work was done. I think that this is a local business 'deserving' high accolade. It has my recommendation.

There is a huge warehouse shop in an industrial unit in Gillibrands, Skelmersdale selling recycled…read morecookers, fridges, furniture, paint and so, with the whole place run as a social enterprise. In the midst of the warehouse is a bike repair and recycling shop named The Bike Shed, run by a guy called Dieter, which is the subject of this review. I am sold on the idea of a social enterprise bike recycling business as totally oozing green credentials. As with the rest of the warehouse, the bike shop is a bit Steptoe & Son, with loads of frames and partially completed bikes hanging from the ceiling of what we might loosely call the showroom, with the other room being the workshop. I've had one bike serviced here at a cost of £20. From talking to Dieter, I would say this was a deluxe service with the whole bike stripped down and servicable bearings regreased before reassembly, and therefore something of a bargain at that price. I've had three different components replaced - gear shifter, rear derailleur and bottom bracket. In all cases, the part & labour cost was a lot less than any high street bike shop would charge. Where it gets even more bargainous is when Dieter has the necessary component in his parts box. For example, parts cost for a 6-speed shifter was just £2. (OK, it was a thumb shifter to replace a twist grip shifter, but who wants to spend £20 on a part like that for an old bike - not me!) Another time, I brought my mate here looking for a pannier rack and Dieter fitted one while we waited for £5 all in. The best thing seems to be to go in and talk to Dieter, who I would say is offering his extensive mechanical skills and experience at a fantastic price. If you are at the cheaper end of the market, then servicing and repairs should be cheaper here and you should get a lot more for your money. If you are in the market for a cheap recycled bike, tell Dieter what you are looking for and he will see what he has in stock. However, don't be expecting bikes in stock ready to buy and ride away, it is more a case that bikes get built to customer orders from the available stock of frames, forks, wheels, etc. At the higher end, sometimes really good bikes are donated to the project, so you could pick up something quite special. Or if was a custom build you were after from old or new parts, I would talk to Dieter and see what he says. The only thing I would say is leave your expectations of other bike shops at the door and you will get a lot more out of this place.

The whole Bicycle Lounge operation seems progressive and moving with the times with modern branding and website. Email communication with the shop is good, with a reply to queries always coming within 24 hours and often a lot sooner. Email notification on completion of service or repair. Location is really handy, directly opposite the bus station, with the rail station nearby. Downstairs is a decent-sized shop floor without the claustrophobic feel of some local bike shops, with the top priced road bikes and bike fitting upstairs. Their £30 annual service felt like really good value. Front brake pads had been replaced at no extra charge. The brakes, gears and everything are much more responsive and the ride is smoother. I was given a checklist which the mechanic had ticked listing the checks and adjustments that had been carried out. More recently, I had some upgrades done to the drivetrain. Although the half of the job that got carried out was technically OK, I felt more explanation should have been provided of why the repair job had gone the way it had, rather than the onus being on me to spot what had and had not been done and ask questions. Although there is some quite high end kit on sale here, it is balanced by a good amount of kit of the type and at the price point for my needs - I feel their purchasing is pretty good in terms of things that are good quality and good bang for your buck! What I've bought from here - Cateye lights set a while back, identical BBB saddles (£25) for both my bikes, BBB glasses - I've been happy with.

A lot of their bikes and products seem like expensive, premium products as you do see in a lot of bicycle shops, but they do cater to the lower end of the market too. I'd happily shop here again as I know I can just walk in, get helpful advice and walk out with a product that will fit my bike and be right for me. I normally shop on the internet, but there's always a risk of buying the wrong size or unsuitable part. That's where shops like this have value. Great shop!
