    Alf Jones Cycles – Gresford, Wrexham
    Plush Hill Cycles – Church Stretton, Shropshire

    Both offer good, friendly advice and deliver great customer service. Nuff said.

    Cadence in Bath have been fantastic for me locally. The standard of the average LBS couldn’t exist in any other industry but Cadence have gone way above my expectations (even for a good shop 😀 )

    What biscuits/ similar are most appreciated by way of saying thank you to your LBS? 😀

    Not got one anymore place I bought my last bike from is gone and not found anyone else I trust yet. Any recommendations for the Newport/Cardiff area? Mostly for spannering rather than parts.

    Sunsetcycles on Woodville road are superb or across the road at Cyclopedia.
    Two of the very best in the S.Wales area.

    Richards Bikes in Exeter, family business. Friendly; deals to be had; bike always sorted. Can stop for a chat and just “touch”.
    Not a great deal of stock but its a small business.
    Bike Shed in Exeter, is also good, and lots of stock.

    Garage Bikes in Morley (Leeds) – they do a fantastic job of fixing all the things I’m too inept to manage on my own (so most everything) – top people, dead friendly, the coffee’s always on, and there’s usually a friendly dog mooching about the place somewhere. What more could you ask for?

    Biketreks – Ambleside. Alright it’s not my “local” (3/4hr drive for me) but I always pop in for a brew off Keith whenever I’m in the area. Nothing is to much trouble for them.

    Another shout out for holy spokes in Horsforth, top lads and a couple of the best mechanics that I know. If they can’t fix it it probably wants binning!

    Nice to see some love for my LBS.

    Decent idea for the website to have an A-Z of LBS’s maybe?

    Could possibly help get more customers etc.

    Middle-aged shout out to the guys at Chain Reaction Cycles. Tonnes of stock, always helpful, keen prices and only 10 mins drive from my front door. I used them for mail order stuff recently as i was feeling festively lazy and it took 4 days to arrive 😆

    Graham Foot at Slam69 is the only place to go in Gloucester.

    He provides amazing advice, puts the right (not the most expensive) bits on, and has repaired my bike over and over.

    Pro-Am Cycles in Larkhall, South Lanarkshire. Keith Anderson, the owner, is a top bloke, knows his bikes, and always give you an honest (but humourous) appraisal of what is needed.

    He’s also a pretty fair amateur racer for his shop team, and is cooking up his own brand of bikes- which look fantastic.

    Also knows much, much more than anyway I know about garden plants, on account of his background.

    ..another vote for Garage Bikes in Morley.

    The prices are very reasonable and Al’s knowledge/passion for bikes is impressive.

    I witnessed him wrangle with a particularly troublesome front mech on my old s-works stumpy for over half an hour, and refused to accept anything other than the flat rate charge for a front mech adjustment at the end of it. This was on a particularly busy Saturday morning as well.

    He also really looks after regulars on the product front. When I bought some Endura 3/4s he ended up beating CRC prices without me even asking.

    Top man.

    Plymouth Cycle Scene. Not my LBS just phoned on the off chance.

    Phoned Matt on Friday enquiring about a EBB tool. He phoned me back twice when he said he would, posted it the same day for no extra charge. Turned up on Saturday. Exactly like you would hope it to be, be very rarely does it happen like that.

    Thanks chaps.

    Cyclingo in South Hobart if you ever head down this way.
    You can rent a Santa Cruz Heckler to hit Mt Wellington & Clingo is the best mechanic in town. He’s also a very handy rider.
    If you’re in town on a wednesday night, we ride at 6pm year round.

    Bike Plus in South Croydon, walked in with a broken front mech Saturday afternoon and left 15 mins later with a new one fitted plus a discount. Thanks Gents
