Reviews of Decathlon Reading
G. D.
I really like the Decathlon brand. A great range of good value sports items regardless of budget. I love that you can spend a little or a lot depending on your level of sporting need.
J. S.
Really enjoyed my visit to Reading, the Decathlon is reasonably sized compared to others, you can find what you are looking for at affordable prices and great quality 👌
Approachable staff and very friendly people!
C. N.
Thank you Decathlon and Marvellous Molly!
Many thanks to Molly for her help with setting me up for my beginner level skiing trip.
A competent skier herself, she found the right boots for my level, asked me to bring in my used once (five years ago) skis, then fitted and adjusted everything to the correct release pressure for my level.
I feel a lot more confident now that I know the kit is properly adjusted.
I also liked the store, it felt spacious and well laid out. I enjoyed a good browse and getting some ideas for future activities.
Many thanks!

Never really considered Decathlon for bike shopping until a French friend of mine recommended them. I'm glad she did. I was finally able to find a suitable electric assisted bike (to help get back into riding without the strain), within a reasonable budget. Stock was an issue but they managed to source me two of different sizes and specs as I was borderline the size requirement. When I got to see them both, the answer was clear for me (and beautiful!). I love my new bike, it feels strong and sturdy and makes hills totally trivial if I want them to be.
The staff are very helpful and polite and their products do seem a cut above the rest while costing less. Special thanks to Josh who organised the bikes and Artur who built it and helped adjust it and add things. Also I took it back a few days and he was more than helpful and friendly to readjust a few bits. Awesome guys!
Strong recommendation and I will continue to shop at Decathlon in the future.

The Decathlon mechanic, Artur, was brilliant, as ever. So experienced and knowledgeable, he makes what he does look effortless. He does the job as efficiently and as affordably as possible. His recommendations are always spot on. He's also very good at dealing with multiple requests on his time with good humour and making every customer feel valued. He is the reason I keep coming back to Decathlon for bike servicing, rather than going elsewhere.
R. S.
Excellent experience. I was helped by Louise W, who was professional, courteous and knowledgeable.
Louise talked me through the different rowing machines on offer, and explained why certain ones were better.
I wasn’t expecting to purchase one, simply find out information. However, thanks to Louise, I have gone ahead and bought one to be delivered to the store on Saturday. I look forward to collecting it.
Thank you Louise.
M. W.
Artur gave fantastic service, knowledgeable, repair completed ahead of time and he has a good set of skills. If there was an increase in advertising the bike repairs service I'm certain the bikes shops business would triple as only two are really advertised in reading. ( AW CYCLES and Evans cycles) Great job Artur your a credit to the profession.
B. L.
A wide range of sports items with suitable for varying budgets. I was served by Louise, who was very friendly, professional and knowledgable. She recommended two types of running tights, both which I bought. Looking forward to such 5-star service again on my next visit!
A. K.
I have received great service from Artur. He did run diagnostics on my bike and made couple adjustments. He also gave good advice about how to get best from my bike. Alex
A. L.
Ordered for collection at Reading brunch to speed things up. All sorted in timely manner. Thank you Decathlon
M. K.
Pretty well stocked place, seems ideal if you are looking for sports goods and clothes. BUT having said that, I found it to be on the slightly pricey side. Though they have decent online/ offline sales. Their website is pretty easy to use too.
Unfortunately I went there looking for a decent all weather jacket and came back empty handed despite ignoring price tags (to begin with)
J. D.
many thanks to the excellent bike team for getting me back on the road so quickly ! thanks to Artur especially as he has helped me a few times now with his excellent support !! well done team decathlon !
K. J.
Great parking and next to a McDonalds.You will always find something in here to buy. Great selection of own brand items which for years I have always found extremely well made and superbly priced. Great Shop!
A. T.
I was a bit lost in choosing a tent but I had great help from Serena that guided me in choosing the right one for my needs. Happy with the one bought as a result
R. J.
Just bought a pair of Solomon X-ACCESS 80 Wide Ski Boots. Molly, the staff member who dealt with me, was extremely knowledgeable and made sure everything was OK. She also heated the inserts and moulded them to my feet. Great service.
Y. R.

Yvana was very helpful.

How could anyone possibly dislike this store? The quality to price ratio is nuts. Everything is priced at a very reasonable rate. They have loads of sports gear for almost anything imaginable (even archery and boxing). I highly recommend Decathlon. You might not get name brands but you will enjoy whatever you leave with and it will last longer than you would expect.
t. p.
Joan was so hopeful and kind! I would highly recommend as he made my experience amazing!
E. P.

K. R.
Decent prices reasonable quality of products. Just a bit difficult to find what you want. Staff all seemed happy to help though
Reply-,putting signs at both ends of the asiles would help
R. C.
Louise has been very helpful during the visit to decathlon . She was over enthusiastic and shared her experience as a mum and what could be right or wrong for my children . Excellent customer service .
E. R. N.
Today we dropped of a bike for certain spare parts. We were served by Cleveland a knowledgeable, patience and professional Decathlon Bike repair officer. If all Decathlon staff would be as professional and friendly as Cleveland the world would be a better place.
The Reading branche is was clean and organised as always.
Thanks 😊
L. G.
Alexander was very helpful when husband and I purchased ski boots. He was knowledgeable and friendly. Overall great experience at Reading Decathlon.
O. O.
I entered Decathlon knowing very little about weight lifting, initially with the intention of looking at the kayaking section. However when I left, thanks to the excellent customer service and knowledge of an employee named Ashwin a quick glance at the weights section had turned into an educational experience and I was soon sold on a 20kg weight set. I would highly recomend Decathlon to anyone looking to enter the field of weight lifting due to its knowledgeable and friendly staff and wide range of products.
M. K.
I came in the store today and spoke to one of the bike colleagues called Cleveland he was really helpful and friendly and every question I asked he had the answer too. I will definitely be coming back
N. S.
Great job with helping me with my mum's new bike Arthur : )
a. k.
I came in today, and had Charlotte serve me whilst I was buying a new bag for a festival i’m going to. She knew her stuff and I was in and out of there like a whippet! I’ll definitely be returning.
C. B.
Joan was brimming with product knowledge and went out of his way to help.
So did another colleague who went above and beyond to take the last available product off a mannequin in another part of the store.
Great team!
S. G.
Serena was brilliant. Very attentive and helpful with all our needs. Because of this we would definitely visit again.
e. p.

S. C.
Excellent customer service from Molly! She was super helpful and knowledgeable in helping me choose my ski boots!

Today, I took 3 companies back for their defective goods. Firstly, Decathlon apologized and refunded the money due to the Problem with the seams of the sleeve of my jacket. Thank you . The second company, Sports Direct, did not receive a refund, saying that I had deformed the shoes I bought on January 5th on February 1st. I wanted to return the shoes because the seams were ripped. Sports Direct A Dumpster I left the shoes there. The boy who said he was a manager was extremely inexperienced and ignorant. The third company, T-K MAX, the soles of the shoes I bought two months ago were worn, they did not accept the shoes. He said that since 28 days passed, I had to take it to his company and return it. I guess I have to go to the shoe company's factory. I bought the goods from you and I have to return it to you. I left it in your trash. Sports direct and T-K MAX failed because you didn't give a guarantee for the goods you sell. I suggest you change your Sports Direct manager.
S. N.
Big thanks to Elliott in the Decathalon Reading bike team, incredibly helpful in fixing my son's bike despite the fact i was a walk-in and didnt try to over-sell me on anything etc. Cracking service.
M. H.
A great place to shop for almost all your needs to buy sports goods, equipment and clothes. The place is full of bargains and members of the staffs are extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
M. E. P. S.
I had a really good experience tanks to Yvana. She is really polite and has an answer for every cuesti had.
C. C.
Good selection of outdoor equipment, friendly and helpful staff. Didn’t have everything I was looking for and some of the items not well reviewed onljne.
J. P. A.
Yvana was an angel. She was really helpful and friendly. She deserves a money rise
D. M.
Had an great experience at Decathlon looking at ski boots and skis. It’s challenging if you don’t know what things mean such as flex and whether you are a beginner or improver etc. I was incredibly lucky that Alexander was working, and I didn’t know Decathlon employed such experts. I was able to ask lots of questions and not only pick out the right ski boots but know what skis to get and ended up talking about cycling and accidentally brought a turbo trainer as well….. 🤣
P. A.
Plenty of random sports to kit yourself out for, with some great introductory prices for those doing their toe into a new sport.
M. S.
There was a angel eho helped us alot today! Her name is Yvana.. thank you so much 🙏🙏
X. B.
Artur did an excellent job servicing our bike.

J. O.
I was assisted by Ju many times with my shopping and she was a big help. She should be promoted for her hard work not just for me but for the rest shoppers.
K. P.
We went to Decathlon Reading to purchase a bike for my son's birthday. When we arrived on a Saturday lunchtime the store was very busy. However, the guy that served us (Fabian) was very helpful. He unlocked the bike for us so we could try it while he finished serving another customer and when he returned explained about the safety check etc that needed to be done. The whole process was very quick and we left with the bike we wanted.
K. F.

Serena was super helpful, found some jackets for me and ordered another with free shipping as I was in store. Love Decathlon great products at reasonable prices. Thanks to the team!
D. K.
The assistant was amazing. She was really helpful and nothing was too much trouble. She was also really polite when a multitude of people were asking questions. Its a shame I didn't get her name. She's deserves a customer service award. She was short and with a foreign accent down the Isle with the swimming gear on sun 1st Aug at approx 3.15. She's deserves a big thanks you from the manager for giving a pleasurable shopping experience. Thank you
K. M.
Serena was quite helpful and really polite! She recommended me the best products! She deserves a promotion definetely! 💪😀

My bicycle now appears to be sorted.Thanks once again for your help. Perhaps your skills could be passed on to others!
J. H.
Went into the Reading store on Sunday 26th September. Usually the team are helpful but I have to say that Serena was extra helpful to my son and I. Knew the products and importantly where to find them. Good advice and generally outstanding help. Good job Serena, makes all the difference.
Z. V.
Yvana provided me an excellent help today. With her support I found exactly what I wanted. Her comprehensive product catalogue knowledge was a real value add!

A. T.
Elliot as kind enough to assemble kids scooter and we are good to go :)
J. L.
Great experience, went in this afternoon. Daniel was fantastically helpful, quick, and to the point, answered all my questions. I've always been a fan of decathlon products, and I was showed top tier service today as well.
L. L. H.
I went in there to find some hiking shoes and I was clueless on which one would be the best, so this brilliant guy Harrison sorted me right out. He told the best ones would be best for my hike and he even helped pick the best. Best customer service I’ve had 10/10 will definitely be going back.
T. M.
Yvana was really helpful in branch today when selecting trainers
M. W.
Great range of quality products all in one place and in affordable prices! Place to shop for active wear 10 out of 10 would recommend 👌
R. K.
A Mecca for men and children. A place where you can walk out with a pair of skis and a boat for a reasonable sum.
Quality is above average
As my gran would say “ imagine the days when they even have shops where you don’t even have to scan the items. They just know”
Welcome to decathlon gran
M. C.
Great service my item was ready to collect within a couple of days.
A. R.
Daniel fixed my bike quickly today as I was In a rush would recommend for fast service
N. W.
Im not very familiar with the shop but when I came in a member called Harrison made me feel very comfortable, answered my questions very well, was a massive help and spoke very confidently when talking about the products in store.
M. S. B.
Maria helped me to find the products I was looking for and instantly realised not everything was in stock. She then suggested that we supplement the basket with an online order that could be processed at the same time with the extras being delivered when ready. Great experience!
S. J.
Great store and great customer service from SERENA when I visited on Sunday 7th November on my way home to Devon… purchased a pair of Salomon boots which were not standard stock on shelf and Serena went above and beyond to get me a good deal… Mamy thanks! 😃
S. -. V. R.
Serena was so helpful in helping me find a coat for my trip to Iceland. She explained all the different types and meanings and you could tell she really knew her stuff!
M. d. F.
I am a keen bicycle mechanic and love to rebuild bikes. I generally go to Decathlon for my bicycle spares and accessories. Love checking on their app first and then collect in-store or have it delivered. Even rare tyre sizes for old Raleighs like 590's are stocked. I am very happy with the price and the quality of their tools and spares. Why take a chance online with someone else? My preferred choice. Love them.
M. A.
Would highly recommend decathlon for bike services. I had my bike serviced, alongside a bike brake adjustment. Very professional and helpful.
S. w.
Atur was a great help got the job done ASAP no nonsense great guy and good credit to decathlon
N.
I came in to the store super stressed today, worried that my bike wouldn’t be able to be fixed since it had broken pretty badly. I was so impressed with how quickly Josh was able to diagnose and fix my bike, literally within 10 mins! So grateful for his help!
m. b.
Serena was very knowledgeable and friendly. She gave me all the info I was after and provided an impeccable customer service experience
Thank you Serena :)
J. B.
Thank Arthur for helping me with my bikes! Legend!
c. s.
I been today in Reading store. That was great experience. I had big problem with my bike , and one of your staf (they call him Artur) help me a lot, fix my bike in less than 10 min. THX a lot
J. M.
Selected product we wanted (my birthday prezzy) and made our way to till. First time in a while shopping at Decathlon, did not realise the tills are DIY. However, we obviously looked like beginners as Serena swooped in and made the whole experience a joy. Thanks Serena.
h. s.
Daniel helped me to fit my new bike that was helpful and wonderful
G. S.
Artur was outstanding today. Fast , friendly and really professional. Thank you.
M. M.
Stopped by halfway through a long journey on the bike (gears were giving some issues). Artur was great help, fixed the issue in no time. Very happy with the service
R. D.
Serena & Guillaume gave me superb personable, & efficicient service. Nothing was too much trouble. And above all they were cheerful.
Thank you for the experience.
S. a.
Alexander was so helpful In helping my son with ski gear
He knew his stuff as he’s Great Britain skier himself !
H. K.
Silva was the most helpful colleague I've met in Decathlon. I am usually greeted with a blank face when I ask for help (I asked 2 colleagues and both looked at me as if I were from another planet). I got both items I had gone in for. I would have given an extra star but as they do not take any cash, this pee'd me off. Not everyone uses cards for purchases. Its discrimination in my view.
Y. L.
Molly helped us a lot to set up our ski sets. She is a very nice and helpful lady, thanks again Molly.
S. m.
Daisy was amazing she helped me find everything i need and showed me how to pay. This girl deserves a promotion and a raise. Thank you! I will come again
s.
Received excellent service from Serena from Reading brach. Highly recommended.
C. S.
Serena was so incredibly helpful, and helped me find exactly what I needed in the store quickly, when stock was very low. Couldn't be more helpful. Thank you :)
S. J.
Always have brilliant service at Decathlon in Reading. Definitely the best sports shop in the area due to the huge range of stock they have and all at reasonable prices. Staff are always super helpful and Joan always works so hard to get my basketball orders in ( which I do a lot!!!). Nothing is ever too much effort and the quality of what I have bought is excellent. Highly recommend Decathlon for any sports clothes and equipment.
H. M.
Thank you so much to the Reading store and in particular Artur for all your help with my recent bike purchase. Artur is always so willing to help out, answer any questions and provide advice on the best bike options. Did a great job with my six week bike service and is always so friendly- highly recommend!
A. N.
Artur was a legend, sorted my bike in no time at all and very professionally. Was very friendly and understanding and saved me driving 4 hours Bristol and back a second time to pick it up by doing it there and then.
S. W.
A young lady called Mia helped me yesterday at around 3pm. She was so helpful and very kind as I asked her to point me in the direction of a couple of different items and she went the extra mile to take me to the exact place of them! I really hope that she will get a good well done as she really deserves it! 😊
u. t.
it was awesome support from Louise, she explains nice about eCh product
G. B.
Another really positive service experience with Decathlon Reading. Gear cable had snapped on my old bike and Josh swiftly and neatly sorted the replacement...Josh clearly knows his craft and I would recommend him and the team for future repair works and sound advice on all bike matters.
B. J.
I love Decathlon but having travelled 40 miles to get hands on with a selection of Down Sleeping Bags, I was somewhat disappointed to find they had just one in stock.
Plenty of other stock and loads of other kit to drool over though.
Parking is easy with a large car park and a McD's next door.
E. S.
Serena attended to us very kind and helpful in helping us. Congratulations Decathlon for having her as a partner in good service. We feel very welcomed.
J. L. Y.
Am always so impressed with the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff - don’t think there is another chain store that delivers that kind of consistent service in the UK. Have also never been disappointed with the quality of the products I have ever bought from Decathlon and always such reasonable prices. Definitely rate Decathlon really highly!
S. W.
Had my bike that needed repair and after trying sever cycle shops in Reading, was able to get it fixed and working by a very helpful fellow called Josh, despite not typically doing this work on a weekend he was able to squeeze me in and repair the bike, absolutely great and friendly service
S. D.
I just bought a bike 🚲 from Decathlon. Decathlon has good range of bikes. Fabior did a great job help me choose the right bike and was quick to assemble and deliver the bike to me on the same day. Thanks
S. D.
My first trip into the store today. Huge selection of products for every sport and hobby. I went in for a football and came out with a further 6 items I'd needed and never found what I'd liked anywhere else with regards to sportswear in multiple colours and sizes, including running sunglasses for example. The staff were beyond helpful, each and every one. What a find! If I could give more stars I would.
N. M.
Serena was very helpful to check with us the availability of stock and introduced us to the online service which I could get my size (which was out of stock in shop) delivered to my house in a few days.
U. Z.
Needed the backpack urgently and placed the order online, only to realise collection was after 2 days. Came to the store; Ana was extremely helpful and arranged for the backpack immediately. Really happy with the efficient and helpful staff here!!!!
D. B.
Decathlon is one of my favourite shops as I can always find my size when it comes to buying shoes. Recently I bought a bike via the cyclescheme. The team was excellent and very helpful.
E. D.
We were served by Fabian who was very friendly and helpful. Fabian was able to advise us on the best choices for our bikes.
We are very pleased with our purchases.
E. O.
Artur, thank you for today. Your service today was professional and amazing.
Keep it up with other customers of Decathlon.

I am thoroughly impressed with Decathlon Reading and in particular the service I received from Phoebe. She is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, kind and patient when I was debating about which tennis racquet to buy. Having been to JD Sports, Adidas, Nike on Oxford Street and SportsDirect in Reading, Decathlon is the only place to come for all your sporting/hiking/camping needs and ask for Phoebe!
S. C.
Artur
Great Help thanks for the service
A. L.
So far all the products I have bought from Decathlon Reading are awesome. Does its job very well. Friendly staffs and nice location. Keep it up.
L. A.
Callum was very helpful today, I can say that it would change our travel experience;) We we’re shopping for snorkelling kit.

Arthur in the Reading branch is amazingly helpful. Honestly, I don't normally write reviews but I'm always in and out of the store and on each occasion he takes time and makes effort to answer all of my questions. I'm quite a tricky customer admittedly (I think I know everything) but he remains patient and was particularly helpful with the purchase of my Van Rysel EDR AF Road bike. Just taken my bike in for a service and he has been on hand again to sort the bike. Great knowledge and great service. Very pleased. Thanks Arthur (and Decathlon)

Had a really positive experience & great customer service in this store recently. I tried to click & collect some hiking trousers for my niece's birthday but only 1 showing available so couldnt order. Called branch & staff member checked stock & put the trousers aside for me to collect after work. After a stressful long journey in the torrential rain & flooded roads, I was welcomed by staff who immediately got the said trousers. I checked out extremely easily. Thoroughly pleased.

Needed a replacement tent pole that I had broken. Tried to order one but the wrong one was delivered to the shop, the manager and shop floor assistants gave me one from the display tent. Great service - very happy. They were excellent and very understanding and went out of their way to help.
F.
I used the pick and collect service. The website was very easy to usr indicating whether of not there was stock online and in the store. It went very well. There was a very small line. A member of staff was standing outside. She verified my identity and located my order quite quickly. It is annoying that you can't go inside the store but it is necessary during lockdown. The alternative worked well.
A. P.
Manuele has been an excellent with his knowledge of bikes and went out of the way to provide information. It's always pleasant to be at Decathlon with people like these when customers want information.

I went in today to get a persistent front derailleur issue on my Triban RC520 fixed. Josh who was in the bike department took a look and said it just needed some adjustments of the cable and managed to not only fix it but also lubed the chain and tweaked the rear derailleur for smooth shifting. Really pleased with the work and looking forward to the next ride.

Outstanding Customer Service.
Decathlon couldn't deliver my items by click and collect and cancelled my order. I re-ordered the items and due to the inconvenience I received a gift card and free deliver to home.

Always plenty to see and shop well set out but big queue for self serve think proper till service much more efficient and quicker...talking to human always my preference
D. S.
Fairly standard social distancing set up which was nice to see with sanitizer as you walk in. I'd say only had about 60% of the shelves with any product and just felt very untidy with what was still available.
Haven't used my products yet but seems like decent value for money at face value.
E. N.
Daniel Elliot and Artur
Amazing
Good service and very friendly

Might be a minor thing, but Alejandro was a life saver, solving my towel colour issue, which could have resulted in a full scale riot with children sharing the same colour!

Large tidy store with a lot of stock, everything is well organised and staff seem helpful without being pushy. Always impressed by the number of sports they cover, they do change the ranges depending on the season which can be frustrating if you like doing activities in what they consider the "off season".
Found what I wanted pretty quickly, service at the checkout was swift.
O. D. S. C.
Let me try the bikes and scooters, all good 👍

K. D.
Loved the customer service i received from Jakub at Reading store.
I went to the store last week to get the tube of my bike tire changed where I met Jakub who sounded quite enthusiast and helpful. He listened to my problem carefully and suggested a solution – after a few minutes I was on my way with a new tube installed by him. Yesterday I went back to the store as there was a noise coming from the bike when I turned the pedals and found a couple of the colleagues in workshop who suggested I speak with Jakub. He recognized me straight away and advised that the shaft is going to pack up soon. He suggested purchasing a new bike, tried selling me one too but I wasn’t prepared to buy it. Following this I asked him for advise on changing the saddle and adding lights etc. which I had already purchased, he advised me on how to change them and volunteered to fix it on my bike too – very grateful.
Its unusual to receive such a fantastic customer service now a days and Jakub has restored my faith in the retail stores again.
J. B.
So easy to order online and collect in store! Really efficient, served by Molly who was lovely! 😀

An excellent place to find a huge range of sporting equipment, tools and clothing at very reasonable prices.
The shop is clean and well organised with each sport and their products in separate aisles making finding things very easy. There are also a few changing rooms to try clothing.
I find the staff to be very friendly and helpful.
There is a bike repair shop at the entrance, a self service area at the checkouts, there's also a click and collect service available (online deals can be collected instore).
J. B.
Alejandro was really helpful at checkout as the scanners were really sensitive.
L. P.
Pretty good. Spooky check out machines though -- spotted the roller in my carrying bag straight away.

Decent social distancing measures in place, good customer service specifically from a young man called Rhys and most things seemed good value for money e.g. thick leggings for £3.99 - bargain!

IMMENSELY HELPFUL STAFF. I want to express my extreme level of gratitude to the workshop worker in Decathlon Reading, who helped me today (19:50 Fri 04 Oct 2019) with my bicycle 10 minutes before the shop closed. I had to buy certain essential equipment for riding in the dark. Above all, I had a serious issue with my pedal, which was twisted in the thread of the crankset. In fact, by that time EvansCycles workshop staff had told me outright that this can't be repaired and I would need to replace the entire crankset.
This might have been the case indeed, but the problem was that I had to get from Reading back to Oxford (50 km). And replacing the crankset was not an option at that point. But the man at Decathlon, after sugesting me to come back in 4 days, suddenly said he could actually do that right then. So he did, and the pedal, in fact, lasted the 50 km ride back to OX! (Time will tell, how long it will last after that, but it seems to be firmly fixed and my main problem has been efficiently solved.)
It was shameful of me not to note the worker's name. (To be fair, I was quite shocked after riding 50 km from OX to RG, which was quite a taxing trip for an ordinary commuter like me right after 2 years of no riding at all and... well, no lunch [just a funny detail]. And all this only to learn, that I can't get back.)
Long story short, I was deeply impressed by the friendly, outstandingly helpful and professional staff. Thank you, guys, you're absolutely awesome! I'm looking forward to shopping sports equipment (which is quite frequent in my case) with you.
VARIETY. I also had a couple of minutes to glance at the shelves. Yes, Decathlon in general doesn't have some top-notch equipment (I couldn't find even the Shimano Tiagra crankset on their website, which is a shame: I would order it right away). But Decathlon Reading is big and really well-organised (unlike Decathlon Oxford, which is basically a random collection of goods from various websites; bicycle section being utterly useless, having an enormous variety of trainers [thousands?] with at most 6 basketball models...). My first impression is that in Decathlon Reading you will basically find any type of goods for whichever sport you like (I'm sure about the bicycle section, at least). It's a shame I didn't have more time to spend there.
R. B.
I had a buckled back wheel on my bike so I went into Decathlon at Reading and the service I received was brilliant. The chap who served me was so good , my bike is once again safe , thankyou

Purchased several sports items from here. Well managed store, reasonable price. Due to the impression of this store, Few years ago I visited Hudda City centre Decathlon and recently travelled more than 24 hours by bus to New Delhi’s Khelgaon branch all the way from Nepal. Loved its items.
