Having gone to Edinburgh Cycles in Leeds I was surprised at their test ride offering.
On the phone when I asked about a test ride it was "you can ride it round our car park at most".
Having got there and chatted with one of their staff (Aaaron if you're looking
EBC), he asked me to leave my credit card (which is still there - must collect it tomorrow) and suggested I take as long as I wanted.
I test-rode the demo 2014 Whyte 805 - which had only arrived that day and been built up quickly for me. That was followed by the 2014 Genesis Croix de Fer. For both I did a couple of miles, hills, park, etc.
And yes, I ordered the Whyte
- I like good customer service.
