One of the best bike shop in Oxford or anywhere else for the simple reason they have the best staff by a million miles/km. Totally on the front foot they approach you rather than ignore you when you enter and then genuinely engage and listen to you. They know what they are talking about and make recommendations without making you feel like a fool for not pumping up your tyres (who knew?) or baffling you with techno talk about eg teflon hybrid anti-lock mark 1:3 sprockets blah blah. And they are quick. Come back in 20 mins / go and have a coffee and I will text you when its ready, compared to a bored flick through a tattered ledger and come back in week. I don't understand some of the more negative reviews I have read but it is worth noting that the place is under relatively new ownership and has had a complete refit and a few staff changes so they may reflect its former self.

They do one thing thats unusual for a bike shop - theyre not condescending and theyre friendly. Well done!

Super quick repair after finding bike with front brake cable out of its fixings at Nuffield Health. Too many bikes- not enough bike racks. Careless bike parking. But back on the road. Thanks guys.

One of my handlebar end plugs had fallen out I dropped by to Summertown Cycles, they were friendly, efficient, and replaced it free of charge! Absolutely would recommend :)
