A lot of old fashioned local bike shops have closed over the last few years despite the boom in cycling, we all know online shopping can save quite a bit of money but a good local store can out weigh that by having friendly, helpful, personalised service, advice & stock on hand to try out & leave with straight away. Velocipede gets that & is precisely what a modern bike shop should aim to be. They stock a variety of bikes, clothes, accessories etc & take the extra time to help make sure you get exactly whats best for you & your riding matching you to the right style & fit & then helping with the set up & tutorial. They have a workshop with some of the best mechanics you’ll find for any style of bike & the café sells great coffee & snacks that are perfect after or ride or even when just browsing. There is bigger stores around but the service is best around & that makes all the difference.
