Friendly staff offering honest advice and real no frills bike maintenance for a fair price. Took my single speed bike here in need of some TLC. It needed a little more work than I had thought but it's a work horse and I could see that various parts were worn. They talked through what was salvagable, what needed replacing (as well as what kind of parts they could be replaced with), and how much it would all cost. Shopped around but About the Bike were competitive for the costs of the parts and labour. Two days later the trusty steed was ready and rolls along very smoothly again, hopefully for a few more years to come. Thanks AtB! More...

Came in just before closing and they were able to take it in and turn it round within a day or two. Gave some good advice on parts and options and did all the work for a much better price than I've had in a long time.

Ran in just as they were closing on a Monday evening - Anthony very kindly diagnosed and replaced my inner tube and was cycling away in minutes. He then checked over my bike to make sure all was well ! Highly recommend More...

I've been taking my bike here for a few years since I lived locally. I now live in Haringey but still come here for servicing because they are great. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff, they give clear advice on what needs done and do it quickly at a very reasonable price. They really know their stuff, give useful advice on maintenance (without being too patronising) and don't change anything they doesn't need changing. Let time I took it in they changed the chain, cassette and chain ring, but clearly explained that changing gears won't be perfect because of wear in the lever on the handlebar which is really useful extra info.A straightforward and good priced operation More...

I've been here on two occasions and both times, they've been able to remedy the issue with my bike quickly - whilst helping me to understand the issue for future reference. Really great and I'm sure I'll be back for any future work that may need doing on my bike. More...

Amazing service. 13 quid to for a new brake cable and labour is pretty good anyway but they also went to the effort of oiling the chain and pumping the tires up. Really impressed and grateful! Quick turnaround too. More...

I turned up out of the blue having had a saddle stolen. Using my spare saddle the shop found the necessary fittings in a box of spares and despite obviously being very busy they fitted it then and there for £5. Now that's a real service..Michael Davies More...

Excellent service and prices, even for tricky, very vintage, bicycles. I used to take my bikes back to the man who sells them in Finsbury Park, but was surprised to find out that they actually repair them far more carefully here. Bikes come back from Marco, the mechanic, in a far better state than I even bought them in. One of my bikes is no longer a health hazard after he sorted out the brakes. I had taken the same bike back to the seller and another bike repair shop in the past 2 years but neither made much of a change to the issue, whereas the bike now rides very safely. I take all my bicycles here now. More...

Such a good bike shop. They always go the extra mile to make sure you leave not only with a working bike, but with some money in your pocket. I got a call once with the guy still working on my bike at half 11. That's almost too dedicated! Never go anywhere else in hackney. More...

Let me borrow a lock for the day as I'd forgotten mine en route to work! Came into check out their locks as I'd been a doughnut forgetting mine. Ed told me "guess I'll have to trust you" while getting me a lock to borrow at his own suggestion. I left some I.d. so that they knew I'd be back. I'v never been to this shop before but for sure with kind people like this, I will from now. More...

These guys are heroes! My bike was in a pitiful state and they put in a phenomenal effort to take it apart and rebuild it, and they even capped the bill at a very reasonable price when they knew it was going to be a big job. They also have an excellent courtesy bike service too which meant I wasn't off the road. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Cheers! More...

Excellent, down to earth service from guys who really know what they're doing! I needed a new rear mudguard, and popped in on the off chance since I was passing. This is a very different experience to using one of the big chain bike shops who don't seem to give a damn about their customers....Dan gave up loads of his time to help me find the one that was perfect for my bike, and didn't steer me to the most expensive gear. Very refreshing to know that bike shops like this still exist! Can only recommend them, very highly indeed! More...
