    Where's the BEST place to buy a bicycle in Brighton &/or Hove?

    They're a funny one these bikes (I started off trying to be balanced, but am shocked at how bad this bike appears to be). They are not as sturdy as to be fully off road compatible. The wheels are quite prone to buckling as they follow BMX designs but are much larger therefore weaker. They will...

    Me either. I am glad that they are at least training their staff now. It will take a lot before I stop seeing Halfords as all that is wrong with cycle retailing in this country though.

    So one person per Bike Hut has a Cytech 1 qualification (this is all you can learn in three days). Big woop. Most other shops will have mechanics with Cytech 2 as a minimum, and the majority of them will be Cytech 3

    Pretty decent bike those. Good hybrid, quite thin wheels so nice and quick. They stock them in Evans so you can try them out there too. They tend to come up big from what I remember, so bear that in mind.

    G Whizz cycles. A very good shout actually. Well worth checking out.

    True enough, Boardman bikes are very good. However, each bike was probably put together by a 16 year old with no qualifications and if anything goes wrong you will be best off taking the bike back to real bike shop.

    Sorry, not having a go mate. I have heard good and bad things about every bike shop in Brighton. I really don't think any of them are better or worse than each other, apart from the ones I mentioned earlier.

    How are they just the best bike shops? The bike that is right for the individual is the key. Rayment and Sydney St are very good bike shops. So are Baker St, Evans and Freedom. They all stock a different range and have different strong points. If you go to Rayment you will get sold a Specialized...

    I may get a bit salesman on you here now. I used to work in Evans Cycles in Brighton. First thing I would say is, do you want a mountain bike because you think you might want to ride off road, or do you know you will definitely be doing off road riding? If it is the second option then get...

    Try them all, except Action Bikes on London Road and Halfords. My best advice to you is take your time over the decision, try out as many bikes as you can before making a purchase. What price bracket are you thinking?
