Aberdeenshire Bike shops.
Hey folks,
Looking to get my bike serviced as don't have time to do it myself before some up coming events, so looking for a good local bike shop in the Aberdeen/Banchory area. Fairly new to the area so all reccomendations welcome.
Tend to try and stay away from Evans and the like based on prior experiences, but if needs must then...
Cheers

Nothing new about zebra [or light controlled] crossing on roundabouts. Sheffield has had them for decades, possibly since the 1970s.

I think they did, from memory back in the 70s/80s... haven't seen one for years though, our current milkman uses a standard van, albeit hybrid.

That's true enough. But doesn't address my point that the chainset you get as a replacement will not physically fit chainrings from the chain set...

A mate of mine tells me that Banchory Cycles is good (he used them when he couldn't get any shop in Aberdeen to do the work he needed doing in a reasonable time).
There's also Pedal Power in Inverurie.
I had a bike serviced at Velvet Cycles who are based in Turriff but operate on a collect / service / delivery basis and was very pleased with the service and workmanship (and I plan to have bike serviced there again in future) so would recommend. You can find them on Facebook here https://www.facebook.com/velvetcycles/ .
It's good to have a few options as the biggest problem is usually finding somewhere to do the work you want on a timeframe that meets when you need the bike to be ready.
