Good P-clips but bolts of different sizes

Product was delivered on time and the two p-clips themselves are good and strong. Unfortunately their bolts were of different sizes and only 1 fitted the pannier rack it was to be used for. Fortunately I had a spare of the correct size that I was able to use instead.

Great service

Efficient delivery and no problem returning shoes when they didn’t fit. Kept me informed with emails throughout the whole process. It is unfortunate though that stores have very limited stock to try on so you have to order online in the first place.

Great personal service.

Ordered some replacement helmet parts. Messed up my order. The team reached out to me, checked what I needed and corrected the order manually.

Outstanding service

Called in at the Aberdeen branch today with my daughter’s bike as she had outgrown it and required a part. I know nothing about bikes. I found the assistant to be very knowledgeable, friendly and extremely helpful. Brilliant service and humorous too! Thankful that the bike is safer now. Will be back.

Good communication

Edinburgh Bicycle kept me informed of my orders progress as it was delayed by 1day, which wasn't a problem for me. They have always been reliable and have a real bike shop feel.

Always helpful

Attended local branch of EC in Chapel Allerton with suspected puncture. Staff examined tyre and found no defect. Turned out it just needed pumping , which they carried out in an understanding and polite way. They refused to take any payment. As always their mission is to help any inexperienced cyclists.

Excellent price and superb delivery

There were 2 factors that demonstrated excellent service from the Edinburgh bicycle shop. I needed a quad pro set for a motorcycle trip I was going on and it was a last minute purchase. Firstly the price was excellent and the cheapest I could find but most importantly they delivered it earlier than expected, just in time for my trip. Thanks so much and keep up the 5 star service.

Good service and good prices

This shop was selling the new Onguard Rocksolid lock at good price. My order was sent out rapidly, arriving in London in a couple of days, and just in time before I was leaving for mainland Europe.

Thank you so much!!!

I got a broken bike from a friend but had a very small budget to fix it. Łukasz made it like new again and even months later it is still in great condition. Great shop! Recommend strongly
