Bicycle Shops, Bike Sales and Repairs

• Stows, opposite the library, great place for gear, nice bikes there too, verrry nice!
• Stowes, if you can tolerate thier piss poor stock, and dim witted staff.
• not sure, know lots on the estate and maidenhead, but not sure about slough centtre. probably just get knicked
• No idea - kawasaki shop on bath road near Trade Sales. Cycle bikes in JJB sports on the Bath Road. Bikes as in women - everywhere.
• halfords on bath road stocks may a push bike, also the is a motor bike shop on the opposite side, kawaski i think
• Right, We have several people powerd bike shops most of which are just off the main high street at the Library end and onme good sized petrol poiwered bike show at the opposite end of the high street. +
• Stows opposite is the best bike shop, with good service and parts can be a bit expensive when service charges are included!
• Harry's surely or any of the new "trendy" bars
• Pedal-bikes: try Action Bikes (over-priced) for cheapo MTBs on High Street, or Stows next to it (reasonable prices, excellent reputation and after-sales service), or Stows Budget in Wexham. I'm a keen cyclist, and I bought my bike from Stows. Stows are VERY good and have an excellent reputation for service and after-sales care. Action Bikes have unfriendly, unknowledgable staff. They won't even let you try the bike before making a decision to buy.
• Sid Morams of Slough is the best Honda motorcycle dealer in the region in my opinion, ok so six punctures in six months made me visit him a bit more than normal !
• Raleigh bike shop at the library crossroads, is the only bike shop i know of in slough and it sells antique bikes cos noone ever buys them from there
• Get one from a slough market...probably stolen though (but cheap)
• Action Bikes & Stows Cyles - pedal power. Sid Moram & Superbiking - mopeds, motorbikes.
• Enough good quality Bike shops, both motor and person powered. I can think of at least two of each.
• Stowes, Windsor Road. Long established with helpful staff and good stock.
• Good Motor Bike shop on the bath road, petrol power. Trade exchange Porn shop, Slough High street, opposite The Golden Egg cafe, for pedal cycles, I have brought my own bike back a couple of times from there. Cash converters have some good bikes on offer.
• Person powered: Halfords(Bath Rd), Action Bikes(high St), Stows(high St), Sports Division(Bath Rd).
• Stows cycles is down the Windsor road at the Old Crown.There is also a new Actoin Bikes shop by the library.

BMX Trails, Street Spots

• There's a trail in Britwell in a park somewhere but there's always the risk of being jumped
• There is a BMX track in Upton Park just off of Slough Road as you head towards Datchet. It's been neglected but if more people go there im sure it will soon return to the way it was.....
• AHHH Slough BMX track in upton court park has Nation and World competions, but then anyone that lives in slough and into bikes would know that

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.
