Best in the business!!

Brilliant, experienced, knowledgeable staff who are all passionate about cycling and know you individually. I have purchased two separate bikes from Billy Bilsland Cycles and have journeyed all the way from London to do so.
Neil and the team are truly exceptional.
As a small, independent purveyor of velocipedes they truly understand your specific needs and tailor their service and support to suit you.

Billy Bilsland were fantastic

The team at Billy Bilsland were fantastic, every one of them was helpful. I'd not had a bike for 30+ years so wasn't sure where to start. They guided me through the whole process over multiple visits, answered loads of questions, fit the bike and got me out on test rides. Really felt like they went above and beyond.

Appreciated Sean. Glad you were happy with the service.

Very prompt service

Very prompt delivery. Unfortunately, I had to return the shoes because they were too small. My email about returning them was replied to quickly and a refund given. However, the delivery charge wasn't refunded so I was out of pocket by over £8 after paying to return them.

Thanks for the review Jennifer, and sorry you were out of pocket. As a small business, we'd love to be able to absorb returns costs and be on parity with the big boys, but it's just impossible.

Friendly and helpful

We came in to buy a bike for our 6-year-old. The team were super-helpful -- gave great advice, and stickers(!), and even let us test out the model and size we were considering in the Green! We weren't under any pressure to buy; in the end we placed an order through their excellent website, and one of the staff even dropped it off on his way home.
