Evans Cycles

I just popped into Evans Westbourne grove for a light that I needed and Evans had a good price online.
The older guy there is the saddest most sarcastic angry cnut I've dealt with in a bike shop, and that's saying something. So much so it's just funny and you feel sorry for him because he hates his job so much.

loads of bike shops have people like this, they mostly know what they are talking about, but they just enjoy proving that fact, and as soon as you raise awareness that you ALSO know something what your talking about, they get aggressive and fowl.

So many bike shops (small and large chains) are just full of C- UNITS or UNTS (c) as mr.warner likes to call them, that I generally avoid them where possible.
I only feel sorry for the people who are not bike aware who get taken in by their BS and sales crap, some I've encountered over the years are actually more aggressive, pushy & full of grade A* BS than that well known high street phone retailer (not carphonewarehouse, the *other *one).
