Bike City in Wells have just moved .Popped in today and was pleased with the new look .Pete the owner and Jim the spannerman a good helpful couple of blokes .What you miss on t'internet Pete's got the road and XC covered and Jim's all things D/H and freeride .So if you are in the area pop in and have a chat or go on one of the shop rides .
If only all LBS blokes were like this !and no i don't work for them or have been paid by 'em .Credit where credit's due is all .

Where have they moved to? Last time I went in I wanted a Hope crown race; they had a Hope spares tray but didn't have one. Fair enough but no offer to order one in - just we haven't got one, sorry. Little ££ I know, but it meant I went elsewhere - where I was offered service and now spend some money.

That used to be the old model railway / airfix shop didn't it?

Must have a look in this weekend and say hello.

Here here - Pete at Bike City is great. I try to buy as much as possible from him (although that's not always possible as I'm in Dubai at the moment). Always friendly and helpful - go and spend your money at Bike City!

I bought brake pads.

There were ordinary people in the shop and looking in the window 😯 Lets hope they buy stuff too.
