Many years ago I bought a foot pump from Cycle King, Rochester. It’s recent taken to letting air out of the tyres and no amount of my uninformed fiddling could cure it. I took it back to the shop, th... See more

Easy to order and arrived quickly. Few companies sell the elastics for bike carriers which screw on. A shame as so effective, they use them all the time in the Netherlands where I bought my last ones... See more

Couldn't fulfil the delivery date we paid extra for, no apology and tried to give us an ex-display instead

We ordered a bike through the website and paid for faster delivery, then received an email saying that they won't have it in store until after the delivery date we'd already paid for - no apology from them. They offered us an ex-display bike FOR THE SAME PRICE or we could wait until the following week to receive the new bike we had paid for. We had already shown our son the bike and told him the date it was being delivered, so then had to break it to him that we'd been sold something that the company didn't have on site and that we'd have to find another company. We went with a more expensive bike from Decathlon and delivery was taken a day earlier than we expected so everything worked out well but, after the rude customer service and no apology from the company, I wouldn't touch this company again.

Smashing service

Smashing service, they rang to say they didn't have the bike I had ordered at their store but another store close by did have one and if ok they would arrange for that one to be delivered.

It was a present for my Grandson and they assured me it would arrive in time for his Birthday and be ready to collect..

It was and he was chuffed with it

Local and Experts

The quality of the parts, along with their value and knowledge was Outstanding. My local Cradley Heath Store deserves a 5 Star just for the Quality and Customer service.

Thank you

The cycle carrier I ordered was delivered on time and in good condition.
Seamless process, just what you want from an online order.

Overall a good service given

I visited their website to order a couple of disc rotors. Once I found what I was looking for, the transaction was swift and easy to complete. I chose the click and collect option as I was nearby.

Communication through email was really good as they told me when it was available to pick up. Once I arrived, I waited a short while (2 mins max) whilst an employee had taken a call. There was only the one employee in the store at the time from what I could see. Once I engaged with the employee, the collection was again, very swift. No need to go to a back to collect, it was already on the front desk.

One thing to note (not a criticism), when I picked up the rotors, they weren't in the manufacturer packaging. I'm okay with that as minimal packaging works better for me but for others, they might want it in the packaging. This ultimately could be that the products were OEM, but there was no evidence of that on their website. Overall, a good service was done by Cycle King.

Excellent company.

I bought a ladies folding bike. Living too far away to visit, I rang the store at Nottingham a couple of times to ask questions before I bought it. The gentleman I spoke with was very friendly and helpful. And most importantly, after sales queries were also excellent.

The bike was also quick delivery. A trusted company and thank you.
