There is a definite benefit in supporting your local independent bike shop. Not only do you get the best advice from real enthusiasts passionate about bikes andd cycling, but as Darren accurately said "advice is free." At a time when bike stocks are low & very limited, Darren was able to find me a new road bike on the cycle to work scheme. I picked this up yesterday & benefited from some additional tips on using my turbo trainer and some tips on riding and training. I will definitely be getting my next bike from Ride Coventry. friendly service from real people.
