Workshop

Dropped the bike at eight, text at two saying it was done, £85 and a sheet that told me the chain had a thousand miles left in it. They rang about the brake pads before fitting them, which nobody else has ever done.

Bike fit

A sore knee for two years that three physios had looked at. Sioned moved the saddle eleven millimetres and the cleats a few degrees and it has not hurt since. Two hours, £120, and the numbers on a sheet I used on the turbo the same night.

Hire

Four bikes and a tag-along, all measured to us before we left, a map with the cafés on it, and the Taff Trail to Castell Coch and back with a seven-year-old. The children's bikes were lighter than the ones we own. We bought one on the way home.

E-bikes

Took a step-through for the trial week, did my real commute to the Heath in every weather, and it replaced the second car. The £150 came off the bike, the six-week service was free, and they fixed a motor error code in twenty minutes a year later.

Cycle to Work

The quote was back in an hour and the worked example was the first time anyone had told me what it would actually cost a month. Four stars because my voucher took a fortnight and the bike was held but I had to chase them for an update; they were honest that the delay was the scheme's, and the build was perfect on the day.

Children

Three bikes over five years for the same child, each one half-price against the last, and the sixteen-inch we brought back went to a family down the road for sixty pounds. They measured her inside leg every time and ignored the age on the box. That is the whole business in one shop.

About the four stars

Dan was right that we should have chased the scheme, not left him to chase us.

The voucher delay was the scheme\'s, but the silence was ours. Since Dan\'s review every Cycle to Work quote goes in a diary and we text on day seven and day ten if the voucher has not arrived, with what we have heard from the scheme. The bike stays held and built the day the voucher comes, which was always the case, but you should not have to ask.
