点评:The most attentive and high quality bike rental shop and service I've been to. I did my first bikepacking trip for 2 nights in the forest and saw this bike shop pop up on the route on bikepacking.com. I am thinking about buying a bikepacking bike and The Woods Cyclery had a selection of quality brands and types of bikes to choose from.
Additionally, they rent a range of bags (handlebar, saddle, frame etc) from reputable brands such as Restrap and Wizardworks so I could have a fully kitted experience without having to buy a lot of expensive equipment. The online booking process is simple - though it would be good to see in future the bike store and rental bike pages combined, as I only saw the option of renting the bags through the bike store website. I'm told this is in the works.
I got to the shop 1 hour early and my bike was already ready for me. Thanks to Robbie and the team for helping me get settled with the bike and the route. Robbie is a gem and packed my belongings into the bags and gave me advice on how to pack the equipment when I headed off.
They also generously allow you to return the bike at the end of the business day, rather than at the same time it was rented out. It meant that I could have a bit more time exploring, and have a leisurely return back to the shop.
The coffee in the store is indeed, quite good. Loads of local cyclists came through on the weekend as well. There are a lot fo staff on the weekend to assist people, and it also demonstrates how popular the shop is. All the staff had time for a quick, or longer chat and it made a lasting impression of the overall shop and bike scene atmosphere.
110% recommend this shop and also the New Forest Gravel Taster Route (route developed by the shop) which takes you through beautiful and serene parts of New Forest.
翻译:这是我去过的最周到、最优质的自行车租赁店,服务也最优质。我第一次在森林里骑行了两晚,在bikepacking.com网站上看到了这家自行车租赁店。我正在考虑买一辆自行车,The Woods Cyclery有很多优质品牌和类型的自行车可供选择。
此外,他们还提供Restrap和Wizardworks等知名品牌的一系列自行车包(车把、车座、车架等)的租赁服务,让我无需购买大量昂贵的装备就能享受到全套的骑行体验。在线预订流程很简单——不过,如果以后能把自行车店和自行车租赁页面整合起来就更好了,因为我之前只在自行车店网站上看到了通过自行车店网站租赁自行车包的选项。我听说这个功能正在开发中。
我提前一个小时到达店里,我的自行车已经准备好了。感谢Robbie和团队帮助我安顿好自行车和路线。 Robbie 真是个好人,帮我打包行李,出发前还教我如何打包装备。
他们还慷慨地允许我在下班后归还自行车,而不是在租自行车的时候。这意味着我可以有更多时间探索,然后悠闲地返回店里。
店里的咖啡确实很棒。周末也有很多当地骑行爱好者来这里。周末有很多工作人员为顾客提供服务,这也体现了这家店的受欢迎程度。所有工作人员都很乐意与我们进行简短或更长时间的交流,这给店里的整体氛围和骑行环境留下了深刻的印象。
110% 推荐这家店,以及新森林碎石骑行体验路线(由店内开发),这条路线将带您穿越新森林美丽而宁静的地区。
