I maintain my own bikes, have done so for years, and yet sometimes I get stumped (especially with wheels), and so the LBS is needed, and ADG are the best in town! I’m a finicky roadie (other disciplines are available) and yet they all take it in their stride. Professional, relaxed, personable, modern and totally reliable - they are completely trustworthy, and will never take advantage. And they’re charity based! What more can you ask for really. I love ADG and I implore you to try them, you will not be disappointed 😁

Absolutely brilliant all the staff and their service is fantastic, and they always go the extra mile to help out with even the littlest things. All the gear is top notch and excellent quality it lasts and lasts. Very fair prices too, very competitive and I always find extra special cycling gear they are very well stocked.

Top local bike shop. Good communication, value, and always happy to help. I've been planning a cycling trip for the past couple of months and they've helped me out with parts and advice, as well as a box. Plus they always have a bit of everything in stock and have always had what I've been looking for. 👍

Superb. They aren't just there to fix the bike or sell superb products- They offer a personal touch and are very friendly. I have used other bike shops and have to say- A different Gear is amazing! They usually give a health check as well. I was referred via Facebook. Although, it's a distance around 40mins from where I live; I can't see myself going elsewhere. The pricing is affordable. They also give a heads-up with regards to the cost before they begin so you not caught out. Amazing Bike Store!
