Brick Lane Bikes (BLB) Bike Shop

Retail's a tough gig, I think the service you get at any small specialist shop will be a reflection of your own attitude when you walk through the door... I'm always polite so if someone behaves like a cock towards me I simply vote with my feet and go elsewhere... Simple... I've never had a problem in BLB. Though the prices can be a little off-putting at times...

I'm always polite too and got a put-upon, don't-give-a-shit-about-your-needs attitude from the girl. Three times. Must be my face then. Jan can vary but can be a bit sniffy, though he probably doesn't realise.

BC I get polite, helpful staff who have a nice chat about the stuff you're looking at. I bought bits and pieces from them, spent no more than fifty spots. The same money in BLB gets you indifference.

My experience only. Like I say, maybe my forehead tattoo saying "cunt off" doesn't help.
