Terrible attitude towards the public and anything to do with inclusive disabilities as you can see from the screenshots. They didn't want to argue with me but kept replying..And calling a member of the public an idiot from a business account isn't great either. Professional company? That's laughable a best..Posted on Google![]()

10/10 service - I had a small part come off the mud guard of my rear wheel. Halfords said they cant do anything and I would have to buy a whole new mud guard, these guys at Recycle York however actually just fixed the mud guard instead and free of charge! Can't thank them enough! They fix bikes here not just charge you for new parts.Posted on Google![]()

I have had many positive experiences with this shop over the past year and a half. Many times I have been in there to get my bike repaired and they have always repaired my bike much more quickly than their competitors, Halfords and Cycle Heaven. Recently, I brought my bike into Halfords for a repair and they told me they could 'get to it in 3 weeks', so I brought my bike to Re-Cycle instead and they repaired it there, on the spot, in 5 minutes. The bike is now running well. I even bought my bike (second hand) from them in February, and it still holds up well. Honestly, I can't praise this shop enough but I can say that it is the best cycle shop I have ever been to, in terms of service, speed of repair, and quality of repair. Edit 4 years later: I still stand by everything I posted about this shop 4 years ago. The second hand bike that I bought from them 4 years ago is still running well despite frequent and sometimes rough use (I like to race on my commutes to work). I have brought the bike in many times over the years to deal with wear and tear issues, and the service I have received continues to be second-to-none, and as an avid cyclist, it is so helpful to have such a great shop on my doorstep. If you live in York, don't bother going anywhere else!Posted on Google![]()
