    I am looking to buy a "bike to work" bike this Sunday in Cork and am looking for advise on some bike shops to try.
    Obviously the main criteria is that it has to be open Sunday,registered for the BTW scheme with the HSE and good value!!
    Any suggestions?

    The Edge is probably the only store open on Sundays. And Halfords of course.
    I doubt any LBSs are open on Sundays.

    Hard to fault the Edge. It is a great shop (well shops as they have two) and the bike folks are really helpful and knowledgable. Giant in Ballincollig would be another option who are probably open on Sunday.

    +1 on The Edge, they might be a bit expensive but their range of stock is impressive and they have some decent lads working in there. My advice is to pop in there early in the morning as it can get busy.

    I presume Giant only supply Giant bikes. I would prefer a LBS but am restricted to Sundays so it looks like The Edge or Halfords will be my options. I was leaning towards The Edge anyway

    be nice to them in the Edge to see if they will do a proper fitting for you as well. I did a session with them a while back that took about 45 mins and made a huge difference to my position and comfort on the bike.
