About the Bike

Camile = nice genuine guy.

Pros -
Cables & braking feels amazing. (as they should considering they're new)
Rear wheel trued & re spoked. (2 spokes missing)
Bike & drivetrain cleaned to a very high standard.
They practice social distancing.

Went in to purchase an inner tube after I got a flat tyre. The lovely people at About the Bike offered to teach me how to replace them on my bike! Received a wonderful lesson on inner tube and tyre replacement from Stuart, who showed me the “snake bite” puncture and what could have caused it. I also decided to upgrade to a new back tyre to match the front. Super knowledgable, friendly staff. I am a customer for life now. Thanks again :)

I just fixed my bike with them, but they didn't fix it properly. They are two guys. One is not bad and the other was rude. Seriously, it wasn't a good experience. I'll never go back. I can see a few scratches on my bike, but I'm not sure where they came from. I won't suggest them to my friends.

My bike happened to break on the hottest day, when most bike shops called it a day. They were still fixing away, absolute saviours!
They're really helpful and super friendly! Thank you for your service and good vibes

Thanks for the screws! A handy and reliable local bike shop, quick repairs and always willing to help. They repaired my partner’s Bike Friday a few years ago, and are knowledgeable about that fairly rare brand from Oregon. Today a few of the tiny machine screws sheared off on part of my Vello Bike rear axle dropout. Their workshop had a few spares that they let me use to make a quick repair… I’d have otherwise been without bike for a good number of days as that kind of screw is normally only available online in bulk.
Thanks again!

Lovely, friendly & helpful staff. Popped in with a few questions about my second hand bike and they were very kind to take a look at it, pump the tyres up and help me with the seat. Have a lot of attention even though I wasn’t buying anything. Top guys. Great service makes all the difference.

I ended up getting my Vello bike+ from here via my work cycle scheme. Dan was a pleasure to deal with from beginning to end, letting me try a Vello out by riding round the block first and then answering all my questions gracefully whilst also offering his expertise and advice. I appreciated (and needed) his no nonsense responses.
Once I decided to go ahead, they got the bike all ready for me to collect within days.
Flawless from beginning to end, I'm glad Vello have authorised About The Bike as their only UK dealer, they've chosen really well.

Best bike shop in London, always super quick and brilliant work; since I’ve started using their services two years ago, I don’t want to go anywhere else, can’t recommend enough!
