A friend of mine lives in Liverpool and is looking to buy a bike for general riding around/towpath duties. He doesn't really know much about it and isn't spending much. Can anyone recommend a LBS in the city centre with nice folk that he can go and have a chat with and get properly sized up etc?
Thanks,
Andy
There is a bit of a derth of decent bike shops in Liverpool, however there is the Giant concept store http://www.giant-liverpool.co.uk/ on Parliment street and Evans cycles http://www.evanscycles.com/stores/liverpool on Hanover street.
Further up the coast at Formby is Formby cycles http://www.formbycycles.co.uk/
Your mate should get a decent service from all of these.
There's also Quinns Cycles on Edge Lane and twelve/50 bikes in Frodsham.
