Workshop : Two Wheels Good Webshop

Welcome to our Workshop

Regular servicing and repairs are essential to keep your bike on the road in prime condition. A bicycle is a very cheap and efficient means of transport but you need to look after it. Like any other machine, if it is not cared for it will fail you. Usually at about 10:30pm in the rain on the Holloway Road.

If you're using your bike regularly, you should aim to have it serviced twice a year - maybe once in the autumn to prepare it for the winter and again in the spring to remove the grime and horribleness that will inevitably have built up and make it ready for another sunny summer of cycling bliss.

If you rely on your bike as mode of transport or just can't bear to be parted from it for more than a few hours, we will always do our best to complete the servicing on the same day. However, we can get very busy, especially in the warmer months of the year, so it's best to book in advance, to ensure that there's a space in our workshop at a time to suit you.

Both our workshops are staffed by mechanics who hold at least level 2 Cytech which is our industry’s recognized qualification. Basically, you really wouldn’t want your bike serviced by someone who doesn’t have Cytech 2, anymore than you would want to be opened up by a surgeon, who hadn’t actually been to medical school.

Both Two Wheels Good workshops operate from Monday to Friday and we are open from 8:30am.
Four of those five days are available to be booked in advance.

Fridays are aside to carry out smaller running repairs on a first come first served basis.
