Been meaning to write this for some while now! Can’t recommend Patrick Healy... enough. I rang up at 14.30 on a Tuesday to discuss a new bike for my four year old, Lily-Mae. Pat explained he was about to shut up shop due to shorter hours with Covid-19, I’ll hang on for you though, by quarter to three I was there and the brochures were already out with two sample bicycles to look at!!! By 15.00 we’d made a choice and Pat was on the phone ordering the bike 😀 Within 24 hours we were picking the bike up, complete with stabilisers. What a service. Lily-Mae was over the moon. Thanks again pal, much appreciated 😀read more

Awesome service and advice from patrick. Helped me out by fitting some parts... for me when litterally no other shop would. even did a social distancing bike fit for me too! you can clearly see patrick is very passionate about what he does! he was more passionate about my bike than I am 😂. Definitely wont take my bike anywhere else from now on 10 out of 10 👌read more
