Chaos Cycles

The only thing they don’t sell is bikes! In fact you could build a bike from all the parts and components they do sell! But I think where they really excel is bike repairs and the service they provide is second to none. Just tell them what’s wrong with your bike, leave it with them and when you pick it up soon afterwards it will be fixed. Sounds simple right? Well you wouldn’t think so by the poor service some companies offer in this city.
They have a huge range of handy stock, from light to locks, for the casual or regular cyclist. I would always head here first if I was looking for some accessories or some friendly advice.
Strangely or not they are also a DIY/​hardware shop, perhaps this is why they are so great at repairing bikes. But they have a huge range of this stock too; nuts, bolts, hammers, nails, screws… you get the idea.

Erk I’m not even sure I want to tell anyone about this place, I’m feeling all possessive and smug, it’s my little secret…
OK then, this is a repair place and somewhere to buy parts for your bike. Unlike some other bike shops in Bristol I could mention, it is neither obsessed with high-​end mountain bikes nor demands five months notice to book your bike in for a check up. As long as you are good to them (please phone when you can’t make your appointment, this is a small business!) they will be great to you. I always feel that I haven’t been fobbed off with the most expensive brand replacements and never ever felt that I was talked down to for being a girl with a girls road bike. However if you are a boy with an expensive bike toy, then you also will have a chance to talk gadgets with the owner so don’t worry!
Find the stall inside the St Nick’s market building, diagonally opposite to the café.

This is a great place to take your bike for a service very good value prices and the guy will check you’re bike out for free and give free advice. In addition he’ll also advise you how to fix it yourself, rather than like in some other cycle shops where they try and con you in to doing everything. They also sell good value bike accessories too, that rival ebay prices ;)
