APIDURA BACKCOUNTRY HIP PACK – PRODUCT FEATURE

Top notch service from James and the team, this is our 5th bike, which is testament to quality of service provided as always.
Really good selection of bikes, and really good advice as this purchase was our first electric bike.
Very pleased with the bike, keep up the good work!

When I took my bike in for a service the member of staff booking it in for me was really helpful. he took time out to discuss a problem I was having with the bike and offered some really good suggestions. This at a time when the shop was clearly busy. A good local bike shop can make a real difference to customers when issues arise.
