Boke repair in Laois

elvis jones

Hi all,

Looking for somewhere in Portarlington/Portlaoise to get a push bike fixed.......

Any help would be great, i can't run for 4 to 6 weeks and the bike will be my main way to keep fit.

There's a bike shop on railway street in Portlaoise, its near the dole office. Or you could go to Halfords in Portlaoise, they fix bikes too.

Def recommend kavanaghs (the one on railway street)

Ah Spokes. I love the way he puts every bike out every morning and back in again that night. some of them must date back 30 years. Always has a savage warm fire in winter and a time for an auld yarn.

Halfords.

i think the boke:D was bought in halfords, but i'm wondering if its a proper person fixing them or just a random bolke that works there.

No think it has to be someone that knows what there doing.I would try the naas one though because they seem to know more about bikes.give them a buzz.

Another vote for Michael Kavanagh!

Dunno about Halfords staff but If it wss my bike, and it has been in the past needs fixing, I'd head into Laois cycles just off main street in Portlaoise, its a small shop but the guy that runs it is a cycling fanatic and from experience is brilliant at fixing bikes.

whats wrong with it

elvis jones

Where the pedal is attached to the bike has come off. We replaced the bolt holding it on but it just came loose again. It seems the threads are damaged and it may need to be replaced.

irelandspurs

whats the make of the bike,did you see can you get parts direct from them,i'd say its an easy fix if its just the pedal arm

elvis jones

Its not the arm, its where the arm attached to the bike ( left side ).

Its an Apollo from Halfords. I jst want it ASAP as i can't run ( injury ) but i can cycle and was marathon training so need to keep my fitness up.

Elvis, go for a swim up in the lake up in Derryonce. It'll keep the fitness up and improve your circulation

elvis jones

The bike is in with Kavanagh's now !!

I might even cycle to the lake:D
