Evans Cycles

Evans Cycle Shop is on Lewins Mead, opposite the big Whitefriars building. This must be one of the busiest roads in the city centre. It’s a horrible road to cross!
The thing that stands out the most about shopping here is that they asked for personal information (name, address, phone number, email address) at the time of payment. I grudgingly gave my details, but on the understanding that they wouldn’t email or phone me. I was assured that the necessary box was ticked. The following day they spammed me with junk email.
The prices are quite competitive. Cycle helmets start from about £30 here, compare that to starting prices of £50 at Halfords Cycle Republic. Staff are friendly and helpful.
Although the shop looks full, stock levels here are woefully low. I ended up with a display helmet because they didn’t have a new, pristine one. I also bought a hex key which was the last one they had. They didn’t even have a large bag to put it in because they hadn’t re-​ordered! I wouldn’t want to buy anything expensive in here because small enterprises rarely stay in business for long if they can’t afford to buy new stock. Any guarantee would be worthless if they slip into bankruptcy.

A great shop for all your biking needs. I have shopped at Evans cycles over the last week and purchased Lycra, pumps helmet pedals etc.
I have found the service in the shop very good, the staff are very clued up on most things to do with cycling.
I have found on most occasions this store to be very busy which meant long waits for information or just to purchase products. This will be down to the shop being very popular only a good thing I guess.
There is a website you can order kit on. The delivery service for me was very poor. I paid around £7 for a Saturday delivery only one of my products came which left me waiting for my other item until Thursday. I did query this but because one of my items came on the Saturday I would still have to pay the £7. Not the bet service in my eyes. Not taking any thing away from the store though.
There is parking next to Evans. There are only a few parking spots but I never found it a problem to park.
Overall a great shop offering great kit for all your cycling needs.
