Cyclestreets.net is a brilliant little website for bicyclists. Just enter where you are and where you want to go and it will take you a proper cyclists route, tell you the distance, how quiet or otherwiseit will be and how many calories you will burn completing it.
This is extraordinary. You can actually choose a route to avoid unnecessary hills. Excellent for the part-time cyclist!

Helpful staff, decent prices (Although you may find parts cheaper online) and a good location. Only downside is the size of the shop and that they don't stock a great amount of parts such as mountain bike stems, pedals or bars but you can't really complain. Overall a good little Bike shop.
Didn't actually visit the shop. Was out with my cousin cycling today. His new bike is from cycle republic a subsidiary of Halfords which means despite being a nice bike it's been put together without attention to detail. Unfortunately I didn't catch his name today but the owner of this bike shop arrived on Burnham Road shortly after my cousins bike chain fell of the small chairing and got caught between it and the bikes frame. The man after extensive effort managed to get the chain out and was armed with gloves so his hands were not oily like mine. He even went on to adjust the limiting screw (which Halfords had said they would do but clearly hadn't bothered!) so the issue wouldn't happen again. All in all a top bloke and I'm sure he will do the best work on your bike.
