A much better chain alternative is Evans, better staff, better stock, only do bikes, know more about them, in most cities, also with decent opening hours (in normal times). They've been bought by Sports Direct (cheap and nasty chain of sports/outdoor wear retailers who have ruined several formerly good brands and don't treat their staff very well) so they may go downhill. | |

They're the biggest seller of cheap bikes (that grey area between BSO and entry-level, as well as some better stuff) in the UK. Their mechanics vary from half-trained to good enough to work somewhere better (but haven't got round to it). Sales staff may have no training on bikes, as they also sell car parts/accessories and camping gear, but can be helpful (or "helpful" anyway). The shops are useful though - common, often open late into the evening, and with a reasonable stock of basic components. | |

Bike tyre sizing is horribly convoluted, specially when using imperial units, so stick to metric. 622 is unconfusable, whereas 27/28/29" might all be the same size, or not ! | |
