Cumberland Cycles

I’ve almost bought a bike from Cumberland Cycles twice. There’s no real reason why I didn’t. I didn’t even go into the store to get a chance to decide not to. I just almost did and then I didn’t.
I did buy a bike from somewhere else recently, and after only a few days ended up puncturing my tyre. After my boyfriend struggled for a bit trying to get the tyre off and then on again (apparently they were particularly hard) I figured I’d just head down to Cumberland Cycles and stop worrying about it.
After a bit of a round about finding the back of the store (all repairs are handled through the back) my tube was replaced and the tyre was back on quick smart. I made a mental note not to tell my boyfriend that apparently putting the tyre on and off is easy as pie. The guy helping me out was funny and pretty knowledgeable about the bike I’d bought and helped me pick out a basket to fit it.
The store is small, but they’ve got a good range of stock. They have their bikes listed on their websites, so it’s also handy to have a quick browse before you head down. Fingers crossed my new bike has a nice long life, but if I’m not so lucky I’d definitely consider Cumberland Cycles the third time around.
