Brixton Cycles

It's been 10 years since I bought this beauty from Brixton Cycles and I did a trip down memory lane to Celebrate her Birthday. It was a Sunday and the Shop was not open (which I knew would be the case) but took a couple of shots half way through my 30mile round trip.

I can't recommend them enough. Super friendly, professional service. They're my go-to repair shop even though I live in North London

Patient staff, extremely knowledgeable , weren't bothered that i already had some components that i wanted to use instead of buying new ones, weren't afraid to suggest alternatives when i got stuck over what i needed. I have bought bicycles from Brixton Cycles before and have never been disappointed. They constructed a really lovely Surly Cross Check single speed, using my old wheels and seat (and other parts) that i am using all the time!

Cool place. Came here for the coffee if I am honest which was excellently crafted. Great inde bike shop where staff seemed to know their stuff. Small selection of Brompton ware on show too so something for everyone. Small seating area for sitting and there was some food for sale too. Great hang out in and people watch.

Slow, poor quality work and unhelpful staff Previously have been very positive on these guys but would no loner recommend. Had my bike in for the best part of two weeks. Every time I called for an update were unable to provide a timeline and did not offer any explanation for the delay. Was having a brake/gear lever replaced. After picking up the bike brake was loose/soft and gears were not changing smoothly. Took to another shop the same day who fixed the problem in less than 24 hours.

I was looking up the bike light brand name on my phone, to be sure I was buying the correct make and the guy behind the counter said very aggressively, "your not looking prices up on line are you". I purchased the lights and they are good but I won't be returning as it made the experience very unpleasant. I don't like to be told off when I'm shopping. I've had rude service in there before.........

I needed to get my daughter’s bike packed up to ship it to Australia. The shop I had been to in Clapham had been most unhelpful but one of their customers suggested this shop. I walked in and there was this relaxed guy cycling round the shop. He said he could fit us in. Within 20 minutes he had removed the peddles. Swung the handlebars through 90 degrees. And packed it up in our shipping package. This included all the packaging we needed. And all for £20. Great value and great service.

Quick service. Job well done and affordable(£18 for flat tire). But if you are not a regular, you wait for hours while the staffs keep chatting with other client in front of you. Totally ignoring you. Not even a sign “I’ll be with you in a minute”. Go to the coffee shop corner and come back 5mn later.
