Bicycle Shops, Bike Sales and Repairs

• Carconomy is crap the old guy is so ignorant id rather get served by the lads
• Carconomy is a pretty good shop, provided the old(er) man is there - helpful, knowledgeable + all that. If the young lad is there you may as well go to Rush around the corner - which is also pretty good, although mainly for Mountain Bike stuff
• Carconomy, Station Hill (New Road)pedal powered Extreme Sports, New Road pedal powered
• RUSH. IT HAS MILLIONS OF BIKES. IT IS IN STATION HILL
• Carconomy is great and also this new shop called rush by Griffin Park has loads of BMX's.
• A cool bike shop that is person powered is Rush Extreme Sports a change from the norm the guys in there actually seem to know what they are talking about I say check it out
• Yeah the Apollo (plenty of local bikes in there - definately Person powered)
• Carconomy if your really desperate but all their stuff is overpriced and the staff don't have a clue about anything
• person powered. I don't know who wrote this pathetic excuse for a website but the information supplied (however innocent) is in fact inaccurate- I am pleased with the service provided from local shop carconomy - any complaints should be taken to the management and probably will be delt with with the same respect and eloquence of which I was presented.
• motorbike show in Nolton St. ( Petrol Obviously)
• Person Powerd bikes - go to Halfords in Bridgend, Carconomy is a bike shop but they have the market and they rip you off as much as £30, my advice - don't go there

BMX Trails, Street Spots

• Porthcawl is awesome for trials, Lots of pro riders oftern ride here and there are many main riding spots, One main one would be the pipeline, the place is towards the end of the prom heading rest bay way it is where a long pipe go's out onto the sand, Useually you will find a few local trials riders down there which are pretty damm good and sometimes there will be a few pros about but not allways, I am sure if you asked them anything about other riding spots or info about trials they would be happy to answer your questions!

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
