Always helpful

Attended local branch of EC in Chapel Allerton with suspected puncture. Staff examined tyre and found no defect. Turned out it just needed pumping , which they carried out in an understanding and polite way. They refused to take any payment. As always their mission is to help any inexperienced cyclists.

Excellent price and superb delivery

There were 2 factors that demonstrated excellent service from the Edinburgh bicycle shop. I needed a quad pro set for a motorcycle trip I was going on and it was a last minute purchase. Firstly the price was excellent and the cheapest I could find but most importantly they delivered it earlier than expected, just in time for my trip. Thanks so much and keep up the 5 star service.

Good service and good prices

This shop was selling the new Onguard Rocksolid lock at good price. My order was sent out rapidly, arriving in London in a couple of days, and just in time before I was leaving for mainland Europe.

Thank you so much!!!

I got a broken bike from a friend but had a very small budget to fix it. Łukasz made it like new again and even months later it is still in great condition. Great shop! Recommend strongly

Hi Stephen, very sorry for the poor communication with regards to your order which I believe has been processed, if only with 1 not 2 tyres.

I had to wait for the goods but its all good now!

I’m still waiting for the goods which were in stock but on 25% payment went out of stock!
An update from 20/9, I'm pleased to report that the shop has reached out to confirm the rack is in the store and they'll fit it too! That's good customer care!

Hi Mark, very sorry for the mix up with you order. I believe our store have reached out to advise the goods are aside and have offered free fitting.

Don't believe it when website says In Stock.

Order the item which was showing as in stock.
2 days later received 3 x emails telling me it was not in stock.
1 day later received the same 3 emails all over again and then again later that day.
What a mess !!!

Hi Neil, thank you for your email and apologies for the incomplete order, your goods were shipped on the agreed date but for reasons we are investigating, Royal Mail failed to make delivery.

Excellent service

Excellent service, spending time to work out what I needed, and sourcing a part that wasn't available off the shelf, from the workshop.

Order cancelled with no communication

Order cancelled with no communication. Item shown as in stock, received email to saying it would be dispatched in 2 days with no further communication. Chased a couple of times to be told it had been cancelled. I was not charged which is good, but a shame as wasted a couple of weeks for an item I could have got quickly elsewhere if I had known.

Someone had tried to steal my rear wheel and John (I think) from the Rodney street branch tightened it up free of charge. Thanks John!
