Amazing service from Peak Ascent Cycles they pulled out the stops to get the... bike we wanted to us the right side of our son’s birthday and packaged really well. Thanks Pat! Our son is thrilled to bits with his new bike especially to have drop handles now like his dad! 😂 Will not hesitate to use this company again they have been brilliant!read more

Massive thank you to Patrick for sorting me out with a bike fit, even though I... didn't buy the bike from him. I state that because certain other bike shops in my area refused to due to this. Took it out for a run this evening and I can't believe the difference it's made! I feel more upright, relaxed and comfortable. Up hill climbs are easier also due to cleat adjustments, and I can now put down more power. Such a nice guy and so knowledgeable too. My bike will definitely be going to him for all future maintenance and upgrades, and my next bike will certainly be from there. Just need to convince my wife I need 2 bikes!!read more

I know nothing about bikes and I'm out of shape. like others have mentioned... I've been to some proper independent bike shops and more or less been turned around and told where Halfords was with a bit of a sneer. well I came to PAC, and had a quick chat with Pat, told him what I wanted the bike to do and within half an hour he came back to me with the Raleigh motus ebike. its the easiest, most pleasant bike I've ever ridden. the build quality, the snappy gear changes, the simple computer and comfortable ride all bring it together. Pat and Josh really know what they're doing and the experience shines through. despite not being a 'proper cyclist I've always felt welcome here and I have absolute faith in these guys and what they can do and what they know. 10/10 would definitely get my next bike from here.read more
