Service was first rate. No request was too much. All paperwork handled on time and quickly and bike was ready to be registered with Trek immediately.
I travelled far to visit the store and have zero regrets. Thanks all
I've bought bikes for myself and children, a few accessories also. I've had a few services, and I've always felt my bike runs better when you have serviced it, rather than others servicing it
I like the walk in, no need to book service. My recent bike service was fast and good value. Considering the bike is 10 years old and only had minimal TLC it came back looking almost new!
good advise and practical tips
A great shop with very pleasant and professional staff.
The service was excellent. Both bikes were in great condition and came with a repair kit. The bikes completed the Hadrian's Wall Cycle Tour without a single problem.

Very Knowledgeable and customer centric.
The staff are friendly with great product knowledge. You can discuss what you want and they understand the issues and can discuss the pro and cons of all of the options. They are happy to show how the new technology works in a practical way. They are not pushy, just happy to spend the time with you, so you get the best solution for yourself.

I was looked after by Oliver.
He is very knowledgeable about all products and he took myself and my partner through each step of buying a bike and the products we would need with great attention to detail. He was patient and professional at all times. I know that if we have any further questions or need further assistance he will be happy to help.

Good well maintained trails
My wife and I and more importantly our soon to be 6 year old boy visited The Proper Bike Shop this weekend. A great independent establishment. It is, as the name suggests, a proper bike shop. Very chilled. No pressure to buy. We spent quite a while trying and riding different bikes to make sure we were happy in getting the right one.
Clearly all involved in runnning the shop are enthusiasts and very knowledgeable.
No doubt we'll be back.
