Am looking for a bike shop (pushbike not motorbike!) recommendation please as my 5yr old bike is in need of some tlc (new chain for starters but probably also needs new rear cassette and few more things).

Ideally in county Durham but happy to travel to Newcastle or Teesside on the strength of a personal recommendation - my shortlist at the moment is Strawberry cycles (Peterlee) where I purchased the bike, M.Steel Cycles (Gosforth) as a guy at work uses them or Cycle Repair Shed (Gosforth) just on the strength of the website.

Thanks.

I normally take my sons bike to Lowfell Cycles, they always turn them around really quickly and seem to know their stuff..It's opposite Kwif Fit on Durham Road.

There's one at the bottom of Chester le Street by the market place. A friend used them and said they were spot on. Cycleworld shop I think it's called.
