I'm coming up to JHB this week for the first time in 15 years, and would like to know which are the best Bicycle Shops to visit.

 

Many Thanks

Looking for anything specific?

I am looking for another helmut, but otherwise just to check out some shops really. To see what you JHB folks have to offer, my new missus was also keen at getting a bike, so a bit of bike shopping as well.

If you like to haggle about a price, try Cajees.

 

If you have a racing CV, try Specialized Melorse Arch (Concept Cyclery).

 

Looking for some good deals, try Solomons (Depends on what specials they have).

 

Bike shopping - Westdene cycles, and ask for discount (no haggling required).

 

Else, you can go to Cyclelab, Sports Basement, Dunkeld Cycles, etc.

 

Depends where in Jhb you are.

Mikes bikes in Greenside - with Vida Café across the road

Linden Cycle and can do in guess where.... Linden - with Whippet coffee a block away

Finishline cycles in the far east rand

Hunter cycles in Braamfontein - and a side trip to Fathers and Doubleshot coffee

Morningside cycles in Rivonia

Dunkeld cycle in Dunkeld - and if you must - Motherland coffee or better yet (for the pastries) Fournos...

 

That should keep you busy for a while - and buzzed...

I will be based in the Northcliff area. I have no idea where that is in relation to anything unfortunately.

 

Close to my whole list with the exception of Morningside (although it's not too far) and Finishline - you need a passport for that one.. although they do give out free coffee... :)

Nothcliff and Westdene, Linden, Mikes Bikes, Compelete Cyclists are all within the area.

You coming to Critical Mass on Friday night, it would be great to finally put a face to the alias, as I know a dog can't type :whistling:
