Hi all,

My Dad wants to buy a bike, he lives in Brentwood but work in Chelmsford. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good local bike shop?

Thanks
Jack

Hi Jack, what type of bike is he looking for and at what budget? At the bottom of brentwood high st there's Bike Trax. They do some really nice bikes, everything from carbon racers to full sus MTBs. They're honest and have always sorted me out with little spares etc for nothing and give good advice.

Chelmer Cycles are a great shop in Chelmsford, great independant with top service.

Another vote for Chelmer Cycles - although for repairs/servicing track down Spokes - Silky does a great job at very reasonable prices.

If your in Brentwood, there is a wicked little bike shop on Kings Road. He specialises in old road bikes and is run by one guy. Really reasonable prices and really friendly.

Going towards the Station, it's on the left just after the parade of shops/restaurants on the right finishes. Next to a fancy dress shop I think.

Looks cool but can't quite figure out the hours of the shop, seems a bit sporadic. Probably busy riding his bike!

Another vote for Chelmer Cycles. Good guys and great servicing. Have used them for some quality wheel rebuilds.

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.
