It?s true that an anecdote isn?t the singular of data, but I suspect having a good experience here is much more likely than not - we did. As we rode up to the shop we we greeted by a rider cleaning his own bike. He turned out to be a member of staff just back from a ride, damp and dirty after mountain biking but professional and friendly enough to want to say hello to two bikers who?d just arrived. We quickly established the mechanic was very busy but this didn?t turn out to be the problem it could have been when the damp, muddy biker volunteered to take my bike and fit new pads for me himself - well above and beyond the normal levels of service. I?ve had good service here a few years ago, which is part of the reason we?d gone back, and it seems the high quality in kit, bikes and service continues. Thoroughly recommended.

Nice coffee. Great hire fleet. Stock moustache bikes, so spares available, a rare event! They print all their routes on waterproof paper, such a useful detail . Clothing, Endura, and Royal, so realistic for the more solidly built cyclist. They also stock children's sizes, and stock frog bikes. Staff helpful and very pleasant.All food organic, good vegan alternatives, but if you want a takeaway, you need to bring your own cup, as they have a low waste approach, so do not give disposable cups- to be commended.Independent, helpful, and Frankly somewhere I would be happy to spend my money , or order a bike from.Well worth calling in if the are

Brilliant bikeshop. They saved our weekend when a rear wheel failed and a new one was fitted by Luke within half an hour. Fantastic. And great range of bikes and Kit too.

After had a bearing fail on my rear derallieur whilst going over gospel pass, a local recommended Drover Cycles. Had me back on the road in 15 minutes. Great coffee & chat too!

Great well equipped bikes which were like new with friendly service. Damaged a screen putting the chain back on and they were more than fair with their damage cover. Really looking forward to hiring again and would have no hesitation recommending them. Good clear route cards available too.

2nd time we have hired bikes from Drover. We took 8 scouts out in the begwyns for a fantastic day out. Bikes were top quality, helmets and locks included. They delivered them to the location for us and came back to collect. A brilliant company who couldn't do enough and made the process easy, and I think good value for money too.

We had a fantastic experience hiring 4 bikes which were great. The owner is super down to earth and friendly.. we were running late and he stayed after hours without rushing us which was super accommodating!

Stopped by Monday 17th for coffee & cake. Waited patiently at the kiosk for 10 minutes. One of the guys constructing a shelter acknowledged us but still no service. Staff in the shop knew we were there so we moved on. May be because we were on motorcycles rather than pedal cycles? Will not be recommending as a stop for fellow motorcyclists.

We rented 3 e-mountainbikes and one regular MTB for a 4 day bikepacking in Brecon Beacons (offroad trails). The bikes were excellent quality! The staff is very helpfull and friendly and gave us everything we could use for the trip.

I took one of Drover Cycles custom-built Surly touring bikes for a week, across England following mostly NCN routes. The "unpaved" sections of these routes vary widely, from smooth and pleasant dirt roads to severely rocky farm tracks. The bike stood up to everything without complaint and was a joy to ride.The crew at Drover Cycles was pleasant to work with and delivered the bike as agreed on to a location almost 2 hours from their home base.

On our tandem doing our favourite ride over the Gospel Pass and down into Hay we lost power in a disc brake. We saw Drover Cycles and pulled in for help. Brake sorted with new pads and we had a good bite to eat as well. All done promptly and cheerfully at a very reasonably cost. Great team. Highly recommend them.

I hired a bike from Drover for a 7 day tour around the countryside. I hired a Surly Disc Trucker which was absolutely perfect for the ride. Good on bitumen and also the gravel roads I occasionally used plus panniers to Cary my gear. Never missed a beat. Had a small problem with the chain but the guys at Drover were very helpful fixing over the phone. Would highly recommend.
