Your LBS should be the best bike shop FOR YOU. If you’re not on at least nodding terms with the owner, then you’re really not a proper cyclist. In a perfect world you should get the majority of your spares and parts from them. Local bike shops are dying because of the internet. Please help them out. That said, Wolfi’s is my local bike shop when I’m at work and I really can’t afford to go in there too often!

It's pretty cool, but it looks more like a museum than a bike shop. Lots of bikes, but not many people. I prefer my bike shops smaller, more intimate and a bit more people-oriented.

Since Manon asks, I should say that place has got just about nothing I'm looking for in a bike shop. What's the chance of getting a spare jockey wheel for my 1984 Suntour derailleur at Wolfi's? None. The best shops have broken cardboard boxes overflowing with knackered old bike bits you can pillage and offer you a bit of discount because you're a keen rider and honest geezer.

@@gcntechFwiw my favourite shop is Cicli Scavezzon in Mirano, Italy. This is no boutique, the place is heaving with bikes. They've got the 12,000 euro Italian stallions if that's your bag but you can wheel a bike out of there for a 1000 clams. Don't know what stem size you need? Take home three, try 'em all out and bring back the ones you don't want. And they have a little room at the back with the overflowing boxes of old bike parts. Enter into their good books and you'll get to rummage around for that elusive jockey wheel. And they do coffee. Italian coffee.

For me, it's one with a proper workshop with real quality tools based on the input of real mechanics, not just one with everything Park Tool. The last shop I worked at (which is supposedly high-end), all their hex wrenches are made out of soft China-made chrome vanadium. After being fed up about it, I bought myself a Bondhus set. Though pricey for a set of hex wrenches, it became one of my best purchases ever that I don't regret. I'm more of a tool nerd than any of my ex-colleagues.

When i lived there not too long ago, Wolfie's was on the main Shk Zyd Road and that cycle track was a camel race track. When the track was originally across from Meydan it was 7k all the way round, and no one cycled on it for 3 or 4 years apart from myself and a few die hards and the odd triathlete. It was the safest place to train, absolute bliss then the Tour turned up and the rest is history. I've some great photos from back then. Great memories

Having just bought a bike from there, I can see it is an excellent bike shop! Probably world leading in its segment and the staff are very knowledgeable and in the local bike community which helps. This is also a market where the Merc G63 is the equivalent of a Ford Fiesta or Toyota Camry. So horses for courses! Buying a car from Park Lane in London isn’t the same as other places either. Wolfies also has helped me on small bits for previous bikes with no charge and help, so they do deliver on the LBS touch points. You also can’t compare UAE prices with other parts of the world, as it just doesn’t work. Although, bikes are comparable to EU prices (FX depending). If you get chance go! Cycle track is epic just watch the heat in summer!

Not sure if the internet spoils things but I’d love to see an actually well stocked bike shop. No matter how large it’s always about 10 different tyres, saddles or wheels and everything on order. Meanwhile just lines of a few bike brands they choose to stock. I get why, and overheads and dead stock will kill a store but yeah - we’ve kinda moved on haven’t we? There’s a reason a good car mechanic isn’t the same thing a car showroom and this just shows exactly the wrong side of things.

Very cool bike shop if you close one eye and ignore the petro-dollars and the rest that makes such a bike shop possible. What‘s missing? A women‘s group ride? A group ride where you are accepted no matter how expensive your bike is for example. And I would like to run the ultimate test: Do they have the spare batteries for the Garmin power pedals? (even The Service Course in Girona failed here)

There is no such thing as a best bike shop as you can never get what you want in all bike shops! There is so much choice of bikes, parts, and clothing, that no one stocks it all! When I was younger, shops had some Campagnolo, but no one stocks any, anymore. They also don't stock brands that are not available in the UK. I have to go abroad for my clothing/shoes, etc, as not available here! Santini does not sell bigger than 3XL in the UK(I take 4XL/5XL!), and Italian-made Vittoria carbon shoes are not sold in UK!

The "original" Wolfi's is located in the foothills of the Black Forest by the way, now under new management. I bought my first proper Mountain Bike from them and rode it home, smiling ear to ear. I guess I was THE proudest and happiest 14-year-old around that day, having saved up everything for months. Yet I have the lingering feeling that no teenager would be able to afford a Bike at Wolfi's in Dubai, at least on their own. But hey, the coffee seems to be great and I'm sure all those colnagos are a healthy alternative to any Harley, Speedboat or Supercar, which are the former best way to cure a midlife-crisis. At least if they're actually riding them, that is...

@@gcntech That love existed since my earliest years, but you've touched on something important: Does one need such a glitzy shop (with corresponding astronomical price tags) to love cycling? However we feel about that, a bike tech channel might be the wrong place entirely to debate this question ;)

Probably also the most expensive bike shop to buy a bike in. Alot of gimmicky things contributing to overhead that must be recovered in the sell price. Personally I prefer getting the best bike at a fair price from a store with great person driven service.... no gimmicks with a real person

Sure, if all you are after is a bike, it looks fine. If you go to Decathlon though, you can also get yourself a canoe. Does Wolfi's sell canoes?

I don't like those that go hard on upselling. The one I worked at previously actually encourages us to do this. During my first year or so, I admittedly naively did that (well, it's my first job), but as time went by, I became, let's say, more rebellious. I learned more about the products they sell, one of which is their in-house brand, which actually contains outsourced Chinese products slapped with their logo on them. One of them is a shoe with no real quality with a price that's a few times higher than what it's actually worth. Any customer that's looking at this shoe, I advised them they're better off with something like Shimano, which I think even their most affordable models can best it. It looks bad for the company, but I'd rather win customers' hearts. This is one of my ways I keep things real.
