Best local bike shop I’ve ever had, across three continents. Knowledgable, supportive, friendly, encouraging. Good range of stock and quick to order what I need. Visit if you're passing through, make them your LBS if you live around here.

Brought my new BMX bike into the shop to dial in the brakes and help me figure out how to use the spacers for my front wheel axles. The brakes are perfect and the front wheel is securely in place with the spacers. Thank you to NEIL for hooking my bike up. I highly recommend Northampton Bicycle. 10/10!!!
