Baker Street Bikes

This shop is located in a very convenient place, in front of St Peters church. so you always notice it. Due to this advantage, I’ve tried to enter it several times.
Once, I was looking for a bike. I was the only customer, still, had to ask guy for asisstance. He was completely helpless, couldn’t explain me the differences, between brands, materials, didn’t estimate a needed frame size. Thanks God I was smart enough not to buy a bike here.
When I bought a pretty cool bike, I still needed a really good lock and pedals.
The sales assistant wasn’t really interested in my needs, I mean, whats the difference between U-​lock for 40 and 80 quid? How to they estimate those safety levels, does it depend on oock, or material, or what? No answer.
Also, he sold me some rubbish pedals which broke down in a month.
Oh dear, I rarely complain of service, but that’s the time. If you want a bike, to pump tyres, or whatever, just don’t go there.

I recently needed to replace a broken deraillieur on my son’s Mountain Bike. I took it in to Baker Street Bikes on a Sunday morning and, even though there was another job queued up, I was able to jump the queue (due to the bike being unrideable). The quality of workmanship and attention to detail was excellent and the job was done in super quick time, too. It was also much less expensive than I expected (especially when you consider that I was desperate and could have easily been ripped off). Three weeks on and I have not even had to adjust the gears.
A great job and I would travel out of my way to use them again.

By most accounts this beats the local competition on competence, professionalism, efficiency and cost, and in my own experience, they did a perfectly good job on my humble steed. It’s always difficult when you’re a mechanical ignoramus, and you essentially put your trust in those someone you don’t know and hope the won’t rip you off. Though my bill was rather large (I hadn’t serviced the thing in some time, and it was in quite a state) the work was done in a day, they phoned me to ask about any further work, and worked hard to obtain the parts that required replacement. As well as maintenance they sell a wide range of bikes and paraphernalia, and they’re always available to give you a quote or advice should you need it.

My dad tried to teach me how to ride a bike when I was a kid, but since he didn’t know how to ride a bike himself, those lessons didn’t turn out so well. I ended up with scraped knees and elbows, and, one time, a bloody nose. The bloody nose was my fault, as I should have gotten off the bike when it was leaning to the right, and not (as I did), continue to pedal. The end result was me crashing to the ground, and then bouncing up and down on my face. I cried. Then my dad bought me ice cream, so all was forgiven.
But I did eventually learn how to ride a bike. And although the weather right now isn’t the best time for bike riding, I still wanted to see if I can get an affordable one when the time comes.
Baker Street Bikes have a great selection to choose from. Even though I know how to ride a bike, my knowledge of what type of bike to buy is fairly limited. That’s where the staff comes in. They’re a friendly bunch who’ll answer your questions and concerns. They sell safety equipment (which I will definitely need), and they do repairs as well.

Compared to others bike shops in the local area this one stands out from the crowd in terms of helpfulness and value for money.
The people who work here are always über friendly and helpful, great sense of humour and appear genuinely interested in helping you out.
Highly recommended.

I know it’s not exactly bicycle-​friendly weather at the moment, but I’m looking ahead to spring and decided to check out Baker Street Bikes today. The shop sells bikes for both kids and adults, with prices starting at less than £200.
Cycling accessories are also available for those who just want to decorate their bicycles and for avid cyclers who require more technical gadgets. I saw lights, padlocks, distance and calorie counters and decorative attachments. Cycling attire, like gloves, helmets and wind resistance outfits are also sold here.
Baker Street Bikes also has a repair shop on site; or, for those who like to fix things themselves, parts and tools are also available.

I’ve been in this shop a few times, its pretty good. The staff are helpful and they have pretty competitive prices. Good display in the window too.
