Thought this would make an interesting thread...
I was remembering my old local bike shop from the 80s - I lived in Chalfont St Giles, Bucks, and I seem to remember going to the bike shop in Chalfont St Peter with my two older borthers [ both of whom rode], and I think the shop was called SPOKES.
It had a fair few bikes and parts - it seemed like heaven to me.
Id love to hear about what your old local bmx stockist was - and if they are still going today/still stock bmx/have closed down etc.
SPOKES has sadly disappeared by the looks of it.
Weirdly, I think Stodgy Dave used to ride in my area in the 80s too - Denham Common, Hazlems woods etc etc - though we didnt meet til a few years ago!
Come on then - what was your local BMX shop ?

my old local bike shop was called MOORES CYCLES at the Glebe shops in Stevenage.  It was a Raleigh shop so sold copy gear mostly but i always remember a lovely redline f+f hanging above the back of the counter  :daumenhoch:

It's still there now but called something else.

also used to go to the motobike shop in Knebworth high st for JT Racing stickers and decent grips  :daumenhoch:  Saunders i think it was called  :-\

We never really had a shop as such, there was a guy in a massive van used to drive about (mobile shop) and show us on his warez lol. Used to be ram packed with decent stuff and his son had the best bike around by us, TA loaded with everything lucky git. That guy used to drive all around hertfordshire and essex so probably took a good few quid. Bit I remember the most was all the mushroom grips in all those colours, superb  :smitten:

We used to use Ladypool Cycles in Birmingham .. it's actually still there although not been in there for a long time.

HOTSHOT. First it was about 8 miles from me and we'd cycle there (on BMXs) just to LOOK at stuff. Then it moved to a bigger shop that is right next to where I live now. Shame HOTSHOT went ages ago. I used to love it in there.  :shocked:
