Excellent customer service from 3 of the team.
From helping with bike selection for my son to helping with helmet sizes.
We ending up ordering a Pinnacle Aspen online due to stock limitations in store. But we even had help with that.
We will be back for accessories soon!
Please give the team the feedback, the help was really appreciated.
S. R.
Great help from Andy and all the staff. Very pleased with my new Raleigh bike. So helpful and professional, exceptional service.

Picked up a new Pinnacle Arkose X this weekend on the bike to work scheme, and could not be happier with the bike and service from Evans!
Not being the most knowledgeable about bikes, it was fantastic to walk in and have the very friendly staff, advise me on what was needed, and best options for accessories etc.
It's clear the guys that work there are all passionate about cycling, and genuinely want me to enjoy my bike. I will certainly be going back soon for my first service, and no doubt more accessories ;)
One very happy customer.

I went in to get some replacement disc brake caliper bolts as i'd gone down to a smaller disc size. I saw Robin and Alfie in the service department and they were really helpful and they knew exactly what I needed. I'll definitely use Evans again and would recommend them. I didn't even have to wait! 5* thanks guys!
M. D.
Just popped to Evans cycles and the staff were fantastic. Even though I didn't buy my bike from them they tightened my brake cables as I had no brakes. That's going above and beyond. Can't praise them enough. Great customer service

I visited the Martlesham store today for a puncture repair and I was really impressed by the service I received from Lilly and Ewan.
They repaired the puncture within a few minutes and then went onto provide specific advice about maintaining my cycle.
Both were excellent ambassadors for Evans.
Thanks guys!
T. H.
Great customer service from Ewan and Lilly!
First time in this store, I was greeted with a warm welcome by Ewan and Lilly who were able to offer me some excellent advice.
I definitely recommend and I will be back!
M. S.
Called by expecting to have to book in and pay to get my gears adjusted and Mark sorted it there and then for free! Not only this, but he also fixed two other 'snags' that I had. Great to have such helpful bike experts nearby. Couldn't recommend them enough.
B. A.
5 stars and a big thank you to Jacob at Evans Cycles in Martlesham. I have an old Raleigh bike with what is now a non-standard tyre size. He looked through the stock and did not have exactly what was needed. But rather than send me away, he said why don't I look for the puncture and repair the tube you have. He went ahead while I waited and insisted on only charging the price of the patches. I also had a problem with a loose mudguard and he found me an old bracket in his pile of spares - no charge. This is the kind of customer focus and basic human touch that is all too rare these days. I will definitely be calling back.

Popped into Evans Cycles (Martlesham) on Saturday as had bought a new MTB tyre and couldn't manage to get it onto the rim. It was way off fitting - I was bending my tyre levers in two and getting nowhere! Matt and Ewan were great - not only did they manage to get the tyre on, they also fixed it when it refused to seat correctly. On top of this they provided some great advise regarding going tubeless which will be my next step.
Thanks Matt and Ewan for all your help - excellent service :-)
S. K.
Mark and Olly were absolute life savers today and helped fixed my bike after it broke on a ride today and had no way of getting home without the repair. They did this as a walk in and just before they were due to close. I could see they were busy working on other things but they were so helpful and professional. Great service and I will definitely go out of my way to visit this branch now even though it’s not my closest bike shop.
J. F.
My wife took our eldest daughter's bike to Evans in Martlesham, Suffolk to repair her front brake. The service she received was genuinely superb. In addition to repairing the brake cable, the staff member called John also made a few other adjustments to the bike at no charge and was happy to offer sound advice too. We will certainly use them again and have no hesitation in recommending them to others.
J. W.
Phoned ahead as I do not live near the store to check if they had the bike I wanted, chap who answered was really friendly. Went in today to buy the bike and again everyone was brilliant. Tom was super helpful and knowledgeable. Really impressed with Evans Ipswich.
J. W.
Bought a Trek mountain bike a couple of months ago for my son from Evans - he broke the mech hanger on it (how remains a mystery) and I fitted a new one inexpertly (rear wheel kept falling off!) Popped in to see Mark and despite being very busy he tuned it all up in 10 mibs - great service. Turned my 1 star review of the online ordering process into a loyal customer.
J. B.
My first time visiting today and the customer service was excellent. I was looking for an electric bike and the staff were down to earth and extremely helpful. I chose to buy a bike from them and they even had it ready within the hour! Right from the first phone call to visiting them they were brilliant. 10/10 Thank you.

Dropped in on Sunday for a small item to repair seat. Before I could buy, the staff and workshop insisted on looking at old part first to see if they could make a quick repair. 5 minutes later old piece returned o me repaired, with no cost. Excellent customer service and thanks to Mark, I believe, who was the engineer repairing. I already service my other bicycle here, which is also done very well - so re-enforces my view of excellent customer care and service.
j. s.
Fantastic Silver Service to my son's Giant mountain bike at the Martlesham workshop. We had a slight rubbing of the chain in some gears after so we returned the bike, but they were more than happy to correct the problem there and then. Stef noticed another unrelated problem with the bike which he fixed whilst we waited, at no extra charge. Very polite, obliging and happy to help. The bike now runs like a dream and we are very grateful and would definitely return in the future. Highly recommend.
C. C.
The customer service I received here was amazing. After ordering a bike online and then having my online account deleted when Evans switched their software, I was feeling very angry and doubtful I'd ever see my bike. I went into the Ipswich store and was met with equally frustrated staff. Andy, John and the team went above and beyond to track my bike down (even though I hadn't ordered through them) and eventually found an identical bike in Norwich. Andy personally drove to Norwich to collect it meaning I could get my bike the next day. It was amazing service and truly appreciated, it's just a shame they are backed up by such a poor company. A week later and 2 weeks after ordering, my actual bike is still lost in the system and un-delivered. Avoid Evans online and stick to the store!!! Thanks guys!
M. M.
Thanks to the awesome team of Mark and Nicole today, I have repaired my child’s bike. Stock problems but they sorted me out and now my child has a safe bike to ride tomorrow! Cannot thank them enough!
V. W.
Excellent service. I was never fitted properly when I bought my bike from an Evans Cycle store in London. I saw John in this branch and he spent 45 minutes with me setting up my bike to ensure I can get the most comfortable ride from it. He is very knowledgeable and was very happy to spent the time until I was happy with the setup, he even pumped up my tyres before I left the store. Highly recommend and very friendly service.
N. R.
The people at Evans have repeatedly fixed our children's bikes quickly and at reasonable cost. This time they even refused to take payment as they used spare parts from other bikes.
K. D.
Went in looking for a bolt for my boys stabilisers on his bike. The staff were so helpful and found the bolt I needed and let me have it for free. I will definitely be visiting here again when I need a bike for my little girl. Thanks again, I now have one happy boy!
N. M.
Visited the Martlesham store looking for an e-bike. Knowing the shortages and difficulties in getting stock, was delighted to leave the shop with my new bike. Both Tom and Andy were friendly, knowledgeable and most helpful, the bike was given the once over before leaving the shop, and they even loaded it into the car for us. Wouldn't hesitate to go back and to recommend them to others.
D. P.
Wanted to thank all the staff at the Evans Cycle Shop at Martlesham for superior and professional service to me in purchasing my new bike. Helpful and attentive to detail in every way. Would certainly recommend anyone wanting to purchase a new bike or need help with an old bike to go to Evans.
A.
Great and friendly Staff, my gears needed minute tuneing and they did it free of charge.
I also got some good advice on maintaining my drivetrain and got recomended a very good chain cleaner.
Happy days. 👌🏻
M. B.
Thanks to Ipswich branch - helped sort out cassette on my road bike. Could not have been more helpful.
M. G.
Excellent service. The staff have been very helpful, I was looking to buy their Pinicle 1 road bike. So I talk to the sales guy and he told me all about the bike. I was given a 1 hour test ride, though i didn't need that long. I felt I may of needed a larger frame than the one I test rode so they made one up for me to try. I love the bike so I bought 1. I had to take the bike back after a couple of days as the gears needed a little adjustment. They sorted it out there and then. Very happy the the store and staff.
M. J.
Went in to buy some cleats. Greeted by the team, all very helpful. John took over and did an outstanding job - measured and fitted the cleats for my daughter - and checked the bike over and quickly corrected a few faults with the brakes, handlebars, saddle etc. First class customer service, loads of really helpful advice. If you're not sure and you want to ride safely get yourself over to Evans and ask for John. Will definitely be going back...😊👌
R. D.
My 14 year old son had some issues with his BMX bike (bought elsewhere) and went to the Martlesham store today for some advice. The staff were outstanding! They inspected his bike, made some adjustments, gave him some good tips and rectified the faults. All this was done without prior notice, without an appointment, and at no cost. This is old fashioned courtesy and excellent customer service at its very finest. I shall be putting all future business their way and will highly recommend them to family, friends and colleagues. Thank you to all those involved for a job very well done!
C. B.
Great service. I had a small problem with a new bicycle. The team were brilliant at dealing with the issue reslly promptly. Back on the road again. Thank you
N. L.
The staff have always been friendly and helpful here and the shop hasn't been spoiled my the Sports Direct connection. The vast majority of bikes and kit are still decent and not tat. Still a decent range of bikes and kit despite the general covid shortages in supplies.
M. V.
Excellent Customer Care.
We purchased a new saddle for my road bike and without asking the staff offered to replace the old one FOC.
Special thanks goes to John who went over and above ensure the saddle was installed perfectly.
I can very much recommend the £45.00 bike fitting which I had done and has helped massively. John did sort out my posture, the handle bars and saddle to perfect the perfect fit.
True value for money and more. Professional advice, friendly and nothing is too much trouble.
I will definitely go back for further advice and purchasing when I need anything.
Thank you A & M
M. A.
Superb service from the chaps at the Ipswich branch. There was an issue with my new bike ordered online. Booked it in to be sorted and these guys treated it like real MTB enthusiasts would their own bike. Concerned customer now very happy and looking forward to getting out there on it. Thanks again.
S. D.
Big thank you to Andy and his team who built my new Emonda SLR on Christmas Eve in under 2 hours! Impressive turnaround whether it’s holiday season or not.
I asked a number of questions about my bike and the services they offer, they took their time to answer each question fully showing a genuine passion for their craft.
Receiving this level of service has now made them my one-stop shop for all my cycling needs.
Thanks guys
Sam
E. S.
The staff are very helpful and friendly. I brought my bike in at 9:30 am for a booked service but hadn't read my confirmation email carefully and didn't realise the shop didn't open until 10. Thankfully they cheerfully let me in.
On my previous visit I was helped in choosing a helmet light which they then happily mounted for me. Not a big purchase, but I wasn't rushed with it.
A. G.
Whilst out for my first ride on my new bike I noticed that the brakes felt a bit ‘spongy’ so called in at Evans Cycles Martlesham I explained that my issue and that I hadn’t purchased the bike from (not a brand that they stock) but the boys in the workshop quickly re-bled the brakes and got rid of the air bubble causing the issue in two minutes while I waited. Absolute Legends top quality friendly service
G. S.
Popped in Sunday morning before going to Twisted Oaks bike park in Ipswich as I needed a stem cap, Elliot was quick to help as there was nothing on the shelf, he and the bike tech had a look through the back and gave me a cap for free which was not expected but shows how helpful they are! Seemingly small gestures like that go a long way to help retailers with repeat custom and offer a great customer experience, thanks again guys!
A. M.
I took my bike Monday just before closing time,thinking of booking a repair for the next day.
I found friendly staff,excellent customer service who immediately repaired my bike very skilfully done at a reasonable price too.
Special thanks to Robin.
I shall certainly recommend Evans Bicycle to all my friends and family in the future.Thank you to Stef too.
A. B.
Consistently good service and advice no matter how much you spend. I bought my first pair of cycling shoes, cleats and pedals and the guys fitted them to the bike there and then which was great, they also made sure the handlebars and seat were all set correctly for me too. I have visited half a dozen times since to pick up bits and I've been impressed everytime. As a bonus the website is excellent and the click and collect next day service is superb too. The quality and value of the own range accessories is great whilst they also supply the higher end gear if that's what you need, easily 5 stars
A. H.
Managed to tangle my chain whilst cleaning it. Viewed video several times but still couldn’t untangle. Took into Evans and Jacob sorted it out without charging me a fee. Brilliant service, highly recommend and will be going back.
J. K.
I had a bike fit with John, who was brilliant. His experience means that you know you get a reliable professional service, which I would recommend to everyone.
Bike fits will always take longer than an hour, that is because they are done properly.
Thanks to all the staff
P. A.
Andy and the rest of the guys were a massive help in deciding my new road bike. Understanding my needs for triathlon and normal road racing they came up with two options and offered a great deal for both. They also offered a road test option which was invaluable in deciding the best bike. I thoroughly recommend this if anyone is looking at spending a large amount of money on their next bike.
Throughout the whole process they kept in touch letting me know when the bikes were ready and good to go.
To top it all off they even price matched a cheaper supplier to secure the sale.
Great work Evans Cycles at Ipswich. Thanks for the help.

Had the pleasure of John at evans cycles Ipswich fit me to my new road bike last week . I can honestly say my views on comfort on a road bike have been forever changed. I have now covered numerous miles in the saddle and have never been so comfy, no more neck ache and even sorted a pain I’ve had for years in my left knee with a simple cleat adjustment! Johns knowledge was exceptional and had fantastic professionalism through out. All other store colleagues were also incredibly helpful. A* experience!
J. A.
Came in to buy a spring for the hub on my mountain bike, and was pleasantly surprised when the friendly member of staff gave me one to walk away with for free. That's how you create loyal customers and I will definitely be returning to this store for my next purchase or bike service.
S. p.
Superb Bike Fit
I recently went to see John for a bike fit and it was perfect. My setup was basically straight out the shop and had been causing me a few injury problems but I didn't want to shell out £150 for a bike fit (nor did I think my cycling level required it, and I find real cyclists quite intimidating). John basically did everything necessary to make my bike fit for me, gave me a few tips on things to improve my cycling and things that I should look for in my next bike. I'd definitely return and look to buy my next bike from these guys!
M. H.
Had a great experience buying a bike from this shop. Tom (think there's 2 but this Tom works on a sunday) was very helpful when I was choosing my bike. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating- especially as I had my two children in tow. One of the lads set up the stationary bike upstairs which kept the eldest occupied and tired him out! And hubby got some great advise from him for using our recentky static bike purchase. Thanks again Tom, Ollie and Steve and other guy! Sorry for not getting your name!

I recently visited Evans cycles in Ipswich to get geometrically set up on my road bike. A year had passed since I had last ridden properly so I booked in a session with John.
John struck me as a massively enthusiastic, passionate and knowledgeable character when I originally visited the store to book my appointment. He made me feel welcome and comfortable despite my lack of knowledge. This was only exacerbated throughout the hour I spent with John setting up my geometric angle wizardry. I have since ridden the bike and noticed a massive difference in efficiency, comfort and enjoyment! I can’t thank him and the rest of the team at Evans cycles Ipswich for making me feel so welcome. Would 100% recommend and will be sure to return soon for more cycling investments.

Bent my rear XT derailiure cage on a stump at longslade trail near woburn lost the use of four gears, called in to Evans cycles martlesham on my way home spoke with the guys there very friendly and helpful. Took bike in for Mark to look at he worked his magic straightened the cage as best he could put it back together and test rode bike all gears now obtainable when I asked how much they said no charge top guys not many shops would say that nowadays top marks the Evans martlesham fantastic many thanks to mechanic Mark for taking the time when he didn't have too .
C. “. L.
What can I say, the guys at the store are phenomenal ! big shout out to Mark & Robbin at the workshop as they sorted my Norco mountain bike out brilliantly when it broke just after a few rides! and another shout out to Elliot who also was such a big help during my purchase ! over all the staff are fantastic and they deserve the best rewards going please ! :) keep up the top work ladies and gentleman !
s. f.
I visited Evans in Martlesham today with my old bike to have the set-up checked. I was helped by John, who is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He explained everything thoroughly and spent a long time showing me why I have been getting lower back pain when cycling. He made a lot of adjustments, including my cleats, and it already feels a lot better. I can't thank him enough!
I have also been thinking of buying a second, slightly better bike. John showed me several different bikes that might interest me. I will definitely be coming back to Evans to buy a new bike in the future ,after the excellent service I received today!
T. Y.
Helpful staff - raised handlebar free of charge. I bought a new bike online, but found the handlebar was slightly too low, and it was not an adjustable handlebar stem. Took the bike into Evans in Martlesham to buy an adjustable stem, but John pointed out that the existing stem could be made effectively taller by moving the spacers around . . . he did this in a few minutes, and now my handlebars are 1cm higher - which is what I wanted. One happy cyclist and it did not cost me anything!
T. H.
Visited Evans cycles in Ipswich today as I needed two high pressure tyres inflating for a local wheelchair user.
The guys in store did it straight away and free of charge. Thanks so much it made the wheelchair user mobile again

After buying a bike from another store based in the North East I decided to go to Evans Cycles in Martlesham for a proper road bike fitting.
Having only ridden mountain bikes, Andy gave great advise on Road cycling whilst fitting my cleats and cycle accordingly.
Andy also helped me purchase some additional extras bearing in mind my budget and advised on best value for money.
Very knowledgable.
Each and every member of the team in store offered me help whilst I waited for Andy to return from his lunch break and were going out of their way to help all customers.
Overall a great experience and will definitely be returning for my service.
O. J.
Went in to this store recently to see what it was about and get my bike checked over. I have to say I was very surprised to see the size of the store and such an array of products available. I haven't bought much yet, but from what I can see very competitive on price also.
The head mechanic Stephen was incredibly polite and really knew his stuff. He immediantly diagnosed the problems I had with my bike and booked it in for the next available service.
Now I have it back, it feels better than when it was new! Its amazing what difference a good mechanic makes! Thank you to Stephen and his team for getting me back on the road!
N. B.
The staff, and Tom in particular, spent ages helping my wife choose the most appropriate electric bike for her needs. No pushy sales, just knowledgeable professionalism. We were offered a bike at a very fair price, which we subsequently purchased. A very impressive shop.
C. L.
Many thanks to Tom, Andy and Stef for great customer service, bike knowledge and mechanical skills, during the recent purchase of my BMC. I've not had a bike serviced at the store yet but feel very reassured by others' google reviews and, based on my experience there so far, I feel confident I'm going to be well looked after. A well-led and highly competent team.
C. B.
The service and people in this shop make it the best in the area. They have helped me so many times - as an example:
I was having major problems with a stubborn new tyre - in desperation called in to Evans Ipswich just as they were closing for help. Andy and Steph were super helpful and had me sorted and on my way in 5 minutes (free of charge) even though they could have refused me as they were closing. Excellent service guys. Thanks Chris
F. A.
We went in to fix tyre punctures for our really old bikes. We were attended to promptly and the tyres fixed for a reasonable price. Mark and John were very helpful with helping advising on obvious issues they spotted and what we needed to fix them and get the best out of our rusty old bikes.
s. j.
Robin sorted out an inherited bike transforming it into the erfect hybrid for me. Great advice, diligent craftsmanship, amazing service. Finally, great care to send me out safely with helmet, lights, pump and tools!
This approach is an object lesson in good customer care leading to repeat business, increased sales and word of mouth recommendation. Thank you Robin .
S. S.
First class service...walked in with out of kilter handle bars, immediately bike was wheeled into workshop and fixed.. .....for FREE what better service could you ask for...without doubt will return to the shop to purchase rather than online to keep these sort of shops open. Thank you Evans Cycles.
B. H.
Absolutely Fabulous. Without a shadow of a doubt the most knowledgeable workshop team around. The service is fantastic every single time and the manager I think he's name might be "Steph" is the greatest bike mechanic I've ever come across. I was actually in there the other day and pretty certain I overhead someone refer to him as "The Repair King ", so evidently my views are agreed by many. I do however feel that classing him as a "King" although normally a great honour does not do this Suffolk based bike guru justice. So despite the fact that I myself am not an overly religious man, I do feel that he should be now and always, classed as "The God of all Repairs".
A. C.
What an amazing service from John and Steph today! My son fell off his bike when his pedal came off not far from the store, so we went into ask for some assistance in putting it back on and they couldn't do enough for us! My son was given a seat and tissues, etc so we could clean up his very grazed knee, and they offered us a drink whilst they not only checked out the issues with the pedal, but before we went on our way they checked over his bike to make sure he was able to continue his journey safely, tightening up his seat, checking brakes and tyres. Lovely gents, and the service will mean we will come back to spend some money one day!
L. T.
I cannot fault their service. I've been thinking about buying a new bike for sometime and wanted advice from someone that new what they were talking about - i got exactly that from Evans. They made sure i got the right bike. Thank you Andy (store manager) and Elliot for a first class service.
s. e. (. b.
Had a bike fit today in store and the service was fantastic. John wasn't happy untill everything was bang on very good at his job. He gave me some exalant advice on stretching and my posture when riding. I would recommend anybody wanting a bike fit to go to Evans Cycles Martlesham Heath for a top service bike fit. Cannot praise the store up enough keep up the fantastic work!
T. F.
All of the staff are absolutely amazing have seen all of them for bike, helmet, lights saddle. Staff are really knowledgeable and patient. Had to return the torch that was faulty and had no problems cannot fault them.
S. L.
Once again, the lads kept me on the road, friendly, knowledgeable, quick. Knew the issue I had abd sorted fast. Brilliant and friendly
Mark got me back o the road. Not only sorted my popped tyre, but fixed an issue I had created with the chain too. All done quickly.
I'm back on the road
Cheers
H. F.
Visited after my son lost a bolt on his disk brake assembly whilst riding at Twisted Oaks down the road hoping his day's riding wasn't over.
Guys rummaged around and found bolt and washer and fitted it with no fee.
Didn't get their names but thank you for saving me from having a very upset teenager!
T.
Robin was the stellar technician who dealt with the repairs on my husband's bike. I have received exceptional service from start to finish and the workmanship carried out is faultless.
Certainly be visiting the Martlesham branch in the near future for continued custom.
D. T.
Popped in on Tuesday 2nd June following a chainset malfunction in which a screw had loosened and fallen off. The maintenance guy fitted a new one In 2-minutes and refused to charge me for it. Great service, and sealed my customer loyalty! Thank you!
F. W.
Matt was very helpful today finding screws to fix a problem with my battery bag on my Brompton bike. He took the time to cut these down and then fit them to the bag. Thanks very much.
R. H. (.
Popped into Evans for a shorter stem, and was offered a FREE bike fit by one of the guys there, John. Came back next day, and an hour later my bike was set up correctly! Tested it yesterday on a 70+ mile ride, and the difference is night and day. Thank you to Evans Cycles and especially to John for a professional and well explained bike fit.
J. B.
They served me after hours for an allen key for my motorbike that had broken down! Legend, lovely people will recommend them to anyone
L. S.
My partner attended the store for some help with a broken bike/mudguard and Andy was absolutely first class in helping resolve our bolt problem. All social distancing measures were adhered too. Thanks Andy!!!
C. L.
What can I say, the guys at the store are phenomenal ! big shout out to Mark & Robbin at the workshop as they sorted my Norco out brilliantly when it broke just after a few rides! and another shout out to Elliot who also was such a big help during my purchase ! over all the staff are fantastic and they deserve the best rewards going please ! :) keep up the top work ladies and gentleman !
B. R.
Booked my bike in for a service and was impressed with detail I was shown in the different categories of services they offer. Was kept very informed throughout and talked through additional work that needed doing. They even gave it a good clean which I wasn't expecting. Looks brand new again 👍🏻
c. B.
Elliot was fabulous. He talked me through new shoes and a new helmet. Nothing to much trouble however difficult i or my head size was! Elliot knew his products and was knowledgeable about cycling. On a second visit Elliott and Josh kindly added cleats to my newly purchased shoes. Thanks Elliot we though you where great!.
K. H.
I popped into Evans Ipswich after a part of my rear disc brake fell off during a ride. They immediately got my bike onto the workshop stand and had it all sorted in less than 10 minutes. Really good service and friendly staff!
J. R.
Just went into Evans as we ordered 2 electric bikes from Decathlon and one was damaged. Decathlon sent us the replacement part and some tools, but we were missing the crank puller. The very nice man Robin in Evans fixed it for us in a jiffy. The nearest Decathlon is in Chelmsford. Thank you Robin.
L. W.
I can’t thank these two guys enough. Not only were they exceptional professional but so kind and patient.
Great customer service, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Will be back again and would recommend anyone to go here if you want a new bike, repairs or merchandise.
Thank you.

Brilliant service by Evans Cycle Ipswich staff. They always go above and beyond the expectations. Needed to change the cycle as the one I got was a bit big and John helped me and made sure I was absolutely happy with replacement. Did an excellent job and I was really happy with the service provided. Highly recommended !!

Evans, Martlesham (next to Tesco). What fantastic workshop employees!! My son was in tears, he has a cycling camp with the Scouts to attend tomorrow and his pedal had fallen off and daddy couldn't fix it! We took his bike to Evans, they said bring it in we'll have a look. The chap fixed the pedal as best as he could, it would be better to order a part but a quick fix was needed. The very kind man then told me the other pedal needing fixing too, so he would fix that, there was a call out from his colleague who said he'd done it! My son had a question and the chap said 'you can ask me I don't bite', so he did ask him about sequencing(?) the gears. The chap explained how, then took the bike back in the workshop and did a temporary fix as the front gearing is broken, unfortunately nothing he could do then and there as it would take ages. The chap ALSO checked my boys brakes, asked my son if he had a helmet cos he'd be stopping with his head!! lol. Took the bike back in and made an adjustment now the brake works!! I was close to tears with relief that he was able to help us and fix my boy's bike ready cycling camp. THANK YOU.
R. P.
Excellent customer service today buying a new bike. Knowledgeable staff and happy to give advice and help me with all the accessories I needed to get me going. Definitely recommend! 👍🏻
J. L.
Recently bought a helmet from Evans, far cheaper than I was expecting to pay. Really comfortable. Super sales assistant Sterve ran through everything with regard to helmets and steered me to my ideal helmet . Well pleased.
R. H.
Excellent Ipswich cycle shop. Lots of bike options, stocking most big brand makes. Most importantly of all is the excellent customer service. Thanks to Steve who guided me through the large array of options. Recommended.
J. S.
A big thank you too Matt in the workshop for going above and beyond in repairing my mtb, he also pointed out afew issues I hadn't noticed which was very handy. Great customer service and done straight away. Thanks again 👍
A. O.
Open long hours and weekends, with a great selection of bikes and accessories. Easy parking outside, or just off the cycle route between Woodbridge and Ipswich. Friendly shop staff, very attentive. I got a price match on a Kryptonite lock and saved nearly £20!
J. S.
Popped to the Martlesham store this morning at 9am only to find that it doesn't open til 10am. There was someone inside though who spotted me checking out the opening times on the window and to my absolute delight then opened the door and asked if he could help at all. Not only did he let me in the store but also helped me pick out a decent pair of new shoes and some gloves (and pointed out some offers too) which of course I bought.
Has made my day that someone could be so thoughtful and has saved me another trip back to the store. Thank you...

2 weeks ago I visited the martlesham Evans store and saw John for a bike fit. John was really friendly and put up with all my daft questions. Overall the fit was good and has made a difference to my performance... I've just got to get out more now.
Thanks!

I recently went in to evans cycles martlesham for a chain. Forgot I needed a spoke wrench popped back in and matt from the workshop sorted me out with one. Fantastic customer service would highly recommend them 👍🏻
R.
Excellent shop. Matt in the workshop is brilliant and was very helpful and knowledgeable with our problem. Best place to go for any bike problem!
M.
Awesome service. 👌 put an new inner tube in and it was bulging around the valve, not good. Bit bouncy riding it 🤣 Left it there for half an hour and Matt changed inner tube, as was too wide. No cost! 😁
J. P.
Went in there to have a look and see what this new store is like and came back knowing I have a great bike shop on the corner to where I live. Wanted to get my gears checked before I went away racing and the mechanic Stephen was very helpful and sorted the problem in time for me to go away. Very impressive
W. W.
Called in for help after slightly stripping a thread on my crank arm - both shop and workshop staff were extremely helpful and willing to sort my problem despite being busy. Grateful to the mechanic for tapping the thread and saving me a lot of expense!
M. F.
Brilliant friendly service. Quickly changed out tight pedals on my mountain bike, at no cost - thanks Mark!! Highly recommended bicycle shop,
D.
Nice shop as you would expect from a newly opened store. Well stocked and a good range but I was wondering around for a good 20 minutes before anybody aproched me and there were plenty of people standing around. I later called up to enquire about a bike and the guy on the phone said he would find out and call me straight back, I never got a call back! So I took my money else where.

Twice now, I have been caught in traffic on the way to the store to pick up things bought through click and collect, meaning I wouldn't get there before they closed. Both times they have opened the store again and been totally chilled out about it. I have been really impressed by their general customer service and now felt compelled to write a review. Great to have such a flexible LBS.
D. G.
Excellent advice and service. Great deals on accessories when buying our 2 new bikes. Made getting back into cycling after 20 years a pleasure.
M. R. R.
Always friendly, fantastic service. When my daughter had an issue with her wheelchair they bent over backwards to find a way of fixing it and engineered a new solution (all without charge). Above and beyond service!
R. J.
The staff could not have been more helpful. Excellent service and the problem my bike had was quickly resolved. Definitely recommended.
P. W.
Popped in for some bolts. Mark was very helpful, didn't charge, more like an independent bike shop. Cheers.
I. H.
Bought a Pinnacle Arkose 3 last year and I've been in a few times to stock up and ask for advice. I've been helped by 4 or 5 different members of staff and all of them have been brilliant; welcoming, knowledgeable, efficient. Thank you very much!
j. b.

A couple of weeks ago I bought an electric bike from Evans at Martlesham - I'm super pleased with my bike and the Evans guys were very helpful, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I highly recommend buying from this place.

Great bike fit by the assistant manager took the time to listen understand my needs and make adjustments granted they were only miner ones but that along with his advice has made a massive difference
Gone from riding between a 15-16mph average to 19-19.5mph average and very very comfortable thank you John
W. H.

This is how it should be, the whole atmosphere, attention of, advise given and attitudes / friendliness of all the team, even when something isn’t right or beyond they’re control (David Lloyd) is exemplary... this isn’t just ‘sales’ it’s a service beyond... somewhat rare in the UK these days... if EVANS the company read these reviews you can do no wrong in giving praise to the team @evensmartlesham - thank you guys, was a real pleasure in the experience had... will recommend to all.

Had the pleasure and expertise of John at the Evans branch in Martlesham (Ipswich) for a bike fit, lasers, spirit levels, measuring tape and now even video footage was used, oh and a cup of coffee, been getting back ache for a while, John knew straight away what adjustment could help, bit early to say if this has helped but rode the bike home (10 miles) felt different but much more comfortable, looking forward to getting the miles in now but not looking forward in adjusting my other 6 bikes to match this one 😣😣😣
N. C.
Great service department fixed the wheel for my bike while I sat there and waited.

Went into Evans store looking at bikes I got approached by john who was very friendly and knew what he was talking about I told John my story as I already have a bike and not happy with it and I'm suffering with back pain John was adimint that he could fix this problem John was saying you shouldn't suffer with back pain like that anyway the more I spoke with John the more I was thinking this guy know what he's on about anyway booked for a bike fitting to my bike for the next day. On the bike fitting it went on for a couple hours but it went so quick took all my measurements done a video before and after of my riding style adjusted my bike alot to fit it to me with the software they have to use been out on a little ride nothing major and I ended up laughing on my ride I couldn't believe my back then and now the bike is really comfortable haven't been to far on it yet but it will come definitely recommend a bike fit with John 10/10
