Where to buy a bicycle in Riyadh?
Please can you help me with this, and before you shout "Bluddy madness !" it's riding around the DQ. I just can't find a shop that sells reasonable bikes.
Thanks Peter

There's a Go Sports in Hayatt Mall that has a few OKish bikes. When I say a few it is literally 2 or 3 on show and I think they are own brand bikes.
The much larger Go Sports shops in Dubai have a good range including Kona and Trek so there may be opportunities to order something better through the store.

If you just want a bike to ride around the DQ then your best bet would be in Batha behind 5 buildings (old landmark). There you will find many shops selling bikes of many different makes and models. You should be able to find what you're looking for less than 500 SR....always bargain!
If you plan to go by taxi, just tell the driver where you want to go... they all know.

Hey I just got in email contact with Rob. Do the wheelers ship there bikes in from home or is there a place in town that you can order a decent road bike with campy or dura ace components?
Speaking of that how about trainers/rollers, road shoes with cleats, pedals, ect?
