This is extraordinary. You can actually choose a route to avoid unnecessary hills. Excellent for the part-time cyclist!

Bought a new bike from this place just before Xmas. I’ve had a couple of issues with it since and on both occasions it has been dealt with in an exemplary fashion with absolutely no questions asked. A good bunch of guys, clearly very knowledgable and passionate about what they do. Would definitely recommend and would buy from them again.
Great service - so knowledgeable and helpful. Really know their products! Thank you for taking the time to make sure that I fully understood all the parts of my new bike (a Brompton) and how to fold it. Have been coming here for about 4 years and always received a great service!

Booked a back on the road service for my Retro GT zaskar race today and got new chain, brakes and good advice from Shaun in the cycle surgery all for a good price. The long opening hours also make it perfect for people working to pick bikes up at a time convenient to suit. Will be using them again for my Cube soon. Thanks
Will was really helpful with my (self-made) mechanical issue. Couldn't have asked for more.

The guys at the Birmingham store have helped me with my road bikes numerous times over the last 12 months. I've had 3 services (I think) and they've helped with a handful of small issues in between. They're always happy to share their knowledge and expertise. Thanks for the support chaps. Best mechanics in town.
Excellent customer service ! Have used this store a few times now and every time the service they have given has been exceptional. The staff are really helpful, knowledgeable and take the time to explain things. Would recommend these guys every time.

They have two locations, one next to the Sealife, and the other one indicated here on the map. You should definetly call before visiting the shop because they may be one or the other location. Otherwise they do have a good selection of bikes. Bought one of their cheapest (around £60) and it has served me well for my everyday commute during 3 months (then I left B'ham, the bike is still fine!). If they don't have what you need in stock, they may look at the ones not repaired yet and get it fixed for you in a week or so. You can also purchase a lock at the store if you need one.
Never open just went there and it's not open 9 - 5 lies
