AW Cycles, 110 Henley Road, Caversham. See www.awcycles.co.uk. Excellent
range, excellent service.

Depending on how far you want to drive you could try Pedal On in Tadley:

I will second that - Pedal On in Tadley.

Friendly and seem to know their stuff. Coffee as well.

MTB and road. Always seem well stocked.

Second the recommendation for AW Cycles - 10% discount for CTC / RCC
members. There are two Berkshire Cycles - the one at Cemetery
Junction is a bit poor, the one at Loddon Valley Road offers very good
customer service. Halfords is not good, IMO, but I hold them in low
esteem generally so this may be biased; Freewheel is the place for
Brommies and such. Mountain High in Pangbourne are very knowledgeable
about mountain bikes.

AW is undoubtedly the place for road bikes, they are just completing
an entire sales floor for them; I rarely go anywhere else (they are
ten minutes' walk from my house, so why would I?); they also have a
good selection of mountain bikes, hybrids and such, and are pretty
sound on general bike "stuff" like speccing commuter bikes. One or
two new staff are not quite up to speed yet, but Andy (boss), Ricky
and Sue are sent by the bicycle gods.

For repairs and wheel building at moderate cost, Bob Bristow in Alpine
Street is your man, bobbristow at waitrose dot com, just putting a new
pair of rims on my tourer wheels for me at a foolishly low price.
Favoured by the members of Reading CTC (and you know what misers
tourists are).
