Review of Two Wheels Good
18 Nov 07, 02:02
Non intimidating local bike shop 
To start with, please understand I am a very keen cyclist, but I do not own a single item of lycra, nor do I know my derailleur from my elbow. My bike is a beautiful old dame of a thing, very slow and cranky, with a wonky basket and lots of personality. My style is pootling along humming, not speeding along, not weaving through traffic, not bunny hopping up the kerb.
Why do I tell you all this? Because most bike shops seem to cater for bicycle geeks, speed demons and fanatics who think nothing of spending £££. And frankly I always find them unfriendly and intimidating.
Two Wheels Good on the other hand realise that there are people whose bikes are basically transport rather than a hobby. They welcomed my bike in for a service without chastising me for not oiling it religiously enough, they fixed up my broken mudguard for £2 rather than insisting I buy an expensive replacement, and were just generally nice and approachable about the whole thing.
To my mind they seemed very knowledgeable and the small shop was well stocked with plenty of fancy gear, but if you are the bike nut breed (and I don't have anything against them, I'm just not one) you might not find me the best judge of that.
