Fab experience with Balfes Bikes, cannot recommend highly enough. - bought a Brompton from them - super friendly staff on phones, could not have been more helpful. Super prompt delivery. Even the delivery driver was nice ! (In a Balfes branded can)

Absolutely amazed with these guys this morning. Had a snapped gear cord at about 8:30am. They were one of the few bike repair shops open local to where I was and after asking their mechanic they got me in in less than 10 minutes.The shop itself has been decorated and finished to a high standard. The team were very friendly and I want to give a special shout out to the mechanic (sorry I didn't get your name) who had the speediest hands I've ever seen. Fixed a bike cable, a derailleur hanger and trued a wheel in under 15 minutes while he talked me through what he was doing. V friendly and expert knowledge.Will be coming back for service/other work if I'm ever in the area. Reasonably priced too!

Dropped off my son's bike to have pedals removed. Done in under a minute, no charge. Very helpful staff.

Had my eye on a TREK FX3 Disc hybrid commuter bike for a while and thankfully Balfe's came through with the goods. Managed to get the bike via the cycle to work scheme (they're signed up to most schemes) and the bike arrived quicker than I expected (based in Manchester). Customer team was really helpful getting everything sorted out. For any newb cyclists looking for a decent commuter bike through C2W, I would look no further than Balfe's Bikes. Happy cycling.

I highly recommend Balfe?s Bikes. My bike chain came off on the way to work and I couldn?t get it back on. The guys at Balfe?s fixed it quickly, cheerfully and professionally as I waited - and then refused to take any payment! Am now booking my bike in there for a service.

I bought my first bike recently and went into Balfes to get accessories (helmet, lights, phone holder) , they were great at helping me get what I need as a beginner. Everyone is always so friendly too; even when I go back in and ask them to pump up my wheels ?

Very nice store. Visited after the renovation, curious having been to Evans down the road.Didn?t get to see much of the store. Corvid probably meant that the staff were trying to be helpful to limit time in store.Staff were very helpful and friendly. Honest and didn?t get any hard sell out none sense when they didn?t know.Can recommend. Definitely revisit in future

Fantastic local bike shop. Very approachable, decent prices and they?ve just had a refit so everything is shiny and new. They fixed my broken mudguard for free.

The Balfers are the business!Just had my bike serviced ready for the post Christmas, winter commute.These chaps are professional and friendly and I both commend and recommend them!I've used a few bike mechanics in my time, and for a while various Evans outlets would service my bikes however in my humble opinion the Balfer Posse are better, and give the appearance of actually enjoying cycling.I have used, and like, the independent bike guys over in Camberwell (Edwardes). But as Balfe's is physically closer to me, and everybit as good as Edwardes, I'm happy to recommend them.

The staff here are always friendly and helpful! My bicycle after the first time maintenance yesterday since I bought it last month has been running perfectly, as light as a feather and as quite as mouth while cycling even better than before. I really enjoy the riding. Thank your guys!
