Very good service, the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.
Big Bear Bikes is truly in a league of its own. It’s hard to find the right words to describe their incredible approach to customer service. The entire team consists of genuine cycling enthusiasts who aren't just friendly they possess deep, expert knowledge. They are always ready to offer great advice and keep you updated on the latest trends and innovations in the cycling world. What I appreciate most is that they recommend products they’ve actually tested themselves, so you know you’re getting honest feedback.
The service department is equally phenomenal. The mechanics are top, I’ve never been disappointed, and every job has been completed 100% correctly with total transparency. No fluff, just high quality work.
While there are several other bike shops in the area, none come close to the level of satisfaction I get at Big Bear Bikes. I will definitely be returning and I highly recommend them to everyone. There is absolutely no reason to go anywhere else when the experience here is better than perfect!

Friendly service with genuine advice. Ziggy took time to answer our questions and find the bike that best met the needs for our son. Very efficient and got the bike ready for us quickly. Great service as always. Much better than the big corporate bike shops or going online

Fantastic service throughout, from first enquiry into a bike, to recommendation, ordering and delivery. Very knowledgeable team, extremely approachable, and amazing to have this level of service still these days, rather execeptional.
Would highly recommend to any budding or keen cyclist!
