Testimonials
I was on day 5 of a 5 day sponsored ride from Stockton-on-Tees to Southampton. A 430+ mile trip. A spoke broke on the rear wheel and I knew the wheel was beyond repair. Desperate to get back on the ride, a quick ring around put me in touch with Simon at Cycle Care ... Problem solved! Simon was brilliant; sourced a new wheel at a very reasonable price, swapped the old one out and had me on my way again within 30 minutes. No fuss just great service. Exactly what a LBS should be. Thanks Simon! C.J. 5/10/24
Hands down the best bike shop I’ve been to during 20+ years of cycling in four countries.
Very welcoming, helpful, transparent and quick when I needed my tire fixed or new pedals. Their priority is clearly to help the customer. Great help in all things cycling whether you’re a beginner in need of more advice or an expert. Good selection of accessories at fair prices. N.M. 31/3/23

Hi Simon, I promised to feed back to you following a bike fit on my new Dolan Ares. You probably remember all changes were subtle but have definitely made a positive improvement. You also took measurements to compare against my existing bike. They were almost exactly the same apart from my seat height being 2/3mm higher, as we guessed it might be. You perfectly gauged what I was looking for on the day and your help and understanding was very much appreciated. Best wishes, K.C. 9/9/22

Absolutely fantastic service from the team. Alfie sorted the indexing of my oval chain rings after my attempts couldn't quite get it right and my patience had been well and truly tested. Will definitely be looking to use this shop for ongoing purchases and servicing needs. Thanks all. S.B. 21/4/22

We made incredibly welcome as soon as we set foot through the door. Simon and Alfie were just immense. Knowledgable, friendly and willing to help despite a lower budget. Just brilliant. Can't recommend this place enough for anyone even thinking about getting a bike. M.A. 19/2/22
The best independent cycle shop around. Great advice, technical knowledge, range of stock and genuine interest. Simon, David and team are amazing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them time and time again! A.S. 27/12/21
Just wanted to say thank you soooo much David for helping me today with my gravel tyres and other bits & bobs. I’ve updated my changing inner tube & cleaning instructions now to incorporate your tips so I’ll hopefully have less problems in the future. I’ll definitely come back spring-time to organise an annual service (and whatever else needs doing then) and will see how I get on with the new tyres during the wet winter months. Meanwhile happy cycling 🚴♀️. Thanks again & take care. J H-M 6/11/21

“I have recently purchased what can only be described as my dream bike and although it was all very nice I needed some extensive alterations to the existing cables and to then have the gears and other components set up professionally. Now this bike means a lot to me it cost me thousands and to be honest I was a little cautious as to whom I should give the work to so I contacted Simon at Cycle Care and he immediately put my mind to rest confirming that Cycle Care could easily carry out the extensive work that I required." Anon
I have known Simon for many years now and I have always found him to be very professional in his approach to work on bikes. Today I took my bike in to have the work carried out and within a very short time Simon was on the phone saying I could come and collect it which I did and I was amazed how good the bike now looked after the work that had been completed. They had done a fantastic job and I was over the moon with the quality of the service I received. I needn’t have worried at all Cycle Care were true to their name so a big thanks to Simon, Al & Ben and Cycle Care – first class fellas.” Andy G – Nov. 2019
“Hi Al. A fine shop. Thank you very much for your hospitality & customer care. A rare find nowadays to get so much help & attention. Regards” Nick – Sept. 2019
“For the attention of Allan – Hi Allan, many thanks for all the attention re: the purchase of my new Metro electric bike. I was very impressed with its performance and once I am back into good health I look forward to some long rides. Once again I was pleased with the care you showed advising me.” Regards, Anthony N – Sept. 2019
“For your reference, you were the only person in several bike shops I visited that was willing to offer this service, so thanks for offering it. All the other staff at the usual outlets had no idea what they were actually selling or how to establish what I needed.” Jason H – Oct. 2019
“In an age of mediocrity your service & attentiveness illuminate retail therapy, for which I am extremely grateful. All the best.” C.E.

“Hello Simon, thank you for your continued amazing customer service. Your knowledge, advice and enthusiasm come without a price. From the day I walked in, I have been treated like a king and for that I will always return.” Howard
“I just wanted to let you and the guys know how pleased I am with my new bike. I took it out for a good go on Saturday and it rides like a dream. Thank you very much indeed for getting it sorted out for me and the work done. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I know looking for a great shop. I found your shop to be the most friendly and helpful of any I’ve been to. All the best for success and happy riding – see you in 200 miles.” S.H.
“Thank you again so much for the superb service and craftsmanship getting my bike back on the road. Last weekend, myself and some colleagues completed London to Paris and the newly upgraded Scott bike was key to this.” Samantha
“I am disappointed to report that after my first ride on the new bike it was not anywhere close to expectation. Surprisingly it exceeded everything I had hoped on every front. If this continues I will be unable to resist recommending you, your business and the Spark in the most glowing terms. Many thanks for your attention to detail. The shocks, as set up, were excellent. The SPDs astonishingly good. Sadly the worst thing now is my body!” Chris W
