Watch John Humphries report on the BBC
The importance of having a properly built bike has once again been brought into the public eye. This time by the BBC’s Watchdog program. John Humpries gets members of the public to build flat pack bikes from retailers Asda, Tesco, Halfords, Argos and Toys R Us.
It’s quite shocking to see how easy it is to build an unsafe bike if you don’t know what you’re doing. A bike that appears ride-able could easily be very dangerous indeed.
However, it is tempting to buy these bikes. Prices are as low as £80 but if you watch the BBC’s findings, you can see it can be a false economy.
All the bikes we sell at Cycles UK are built by qualified bike mechanics and safe and ready to ride. We also offer you first service free if you buy a bike in one of our stores which means you can be sure you’re riding a safe bike.
