I had a look on the Cambridge sub-section of the forum but it didn't seem very active; I've got a mate in Cambridge who's getting into road cycling and wants a recommendation for a decent shop there that might be able to provide test saddles... and in general a shop aimed more at "serious" road cycling customers rather than the second hand dutch bike type customer. I know nothing about Cambridge, other than Rutland cycles are based there so would appreciate any tips or suggestions that I can pass on to him, cheers.

I don't know any other bike shops in Cambridge so not exactly a ringing endorsement but Ben at Primo Cycles is an excellent bike fitter and the shop itself is very roadie afaik so probably try there

You’ll be wanting Bicycle Ambulance. They’re smashing. Hipster vibes with roadie energy.

Bicycle Ambulance is great, I would also recommend Kingsway Cycles near the Grafton Centre.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
