Great service at Bicycle shop on Bellenden Road

Went in there today as it was my sons 3rd birthday and we got him a bike from toyr r us. My husband and I spend several hours trying to assemble to thing, useless instructions and the tyres were flat (despite my oh asking if we needed a pump).


Anyway, entered this gem of a place this morning with a whaling toddler "my biiig booy biiiiike is bloooooken" and the lovely guy in there sorted it for us there and then. All of it, whilst being super kind and patient with my toddler. Then he refused payment.


He said "how about your future businesss instead".

I thought to myself, I can do better than that and by posting a glowing recommendation he will hopefully get more than my business.


I will pop in with some cake when I am next off work, I just really appreciated it.

Here here! Best bike shop I've been to :) ! He's the only one I've found that is willing to cheerfully work on maintaining old "vintage" bikes. I've had many other South London local places turn their noses up at working on old bikes and have been told repeatedly at several other South London bike shops that I should buy a new bike instead and that they can't work on mine, etc. Paul's have been absolutely the opposite, so helpful and friendly and up for a fixer upper challenge. Wouldn't go anywhere else now!

    • I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan. 
    • And they started long before midnight!
    • First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .
    • The Dutch are addicted to New Year fireworks and spent €130million this year on them. However,  sales to individuals will be banned as from this year and celebrations will be organised by local and city councils. I have Dutch friends and for them, this can’t come soon enough. However, at least there it’s concentrated  on one night. Here, it’s never ending, any excuse to make a noise is seized upon with gusto. In addition to the annual celebrations, add birthdays, weddings, engagements, divorces, christenings, BBQs, etc etc. I dare say you can funerals to that list as well. Yesterday it started mid-afternoon and just carried on until the early hours. In the past, I’ve been woken up at 4am. Anyyone who doesn’t like it can go hang and you can ignore completely the  effects on people’s animals and wildlife. Don’t hold your breath about anything being done here, however.
