Depends what your after in Hobart, MTBing go see John at Cyclingo or Treadlies. Road go see BikeRide guys. Repairs, BikeRide. Chat, BikeRide, Treadlies or Cyclingo. Coffee = none
I do most of my own repairs myself now after Applebys has closed

I had a similar experience
Avanti didn't buy out Ray's, Scott took it on from Ray. Ray continued to work there part time. Unfortunately they had to close.Bob_TAS wrote:Avanti bought it from Ray Appleby years ago and rode it into the ground.
However I drifted away from Appleby's when BikeRide opened the staff were a key point in regard to that.

I've never had a problem at Cyclingo. Johns always helpful whenever I go there. Always has time for a chat & some advice. Which is why I bought my bikes off him.....iaintas wrote:cyclingo has never made me feel particularly comfortable, maybe its just me, but i quiet often get ignored when i first walk in and first impressions count!

Ray Appleby certainly lost something when the ownership changed and the focus shifted from road to MTB.

I've always used Bike Ride and Moonah Bike Shop. Ken Self are quite integrated with the community but I just couldn't connect with the staff.

I find Ride Bellerive great.Paul B wrote:Bummer. Was the best shop in Hobart. The staff were great too, wonder where they went.
The guys know their stuff and are really helpful.
Currently riding my second road bike from them.
Bike 1, purchased in 2008 and ridden over 25000 kms, bike 2 in 2012 and so far done 8600 kms
Both times the bike has been fully fitted for me.
Servicing and any problems with the bikes have been attended to by the guys with no hassles.
So why not visit, Adrian and the guys at Ride Bellerive, 96 Clarence St, Bellerive.
