The 'man' i spoke to was your stereotypical just-left-school, wet behind the ears type. Is it wise to trust him?

I couldn't say, however I would recommend a true bike shop anyway. Our local one charges about 20 quid for a service, or 8 quid for just a gear service.

What - paying for a service on a push-bike !
Do it yourself surely.
I used to "service" my bike when I was at primary school.
What - change the oil, refil the radiator, bled the brakes ? NO.
Oil the chain, pump up the tyres, put a spanner on the brakes.
I am intrigued as to what is in a push-bike service.

NO! Dont go to halfords - absolute rip off merchants. Find a local bike shop and get a quote from them - much more likely to be fair.

Find yourself a small bike shop its probably cheaper and better service.In my experience the smaller bike shops have more knowledge and are more helpful if there is a problem.

What's involved in servicing a bicycle. I would have thought that anyone who knows a spanner from a stick of celery could probably do a good jon themselves.

.what sort of ham-fist baboon are you?
Buy a book
Read it
do it yourself.
A bike is not rocket science
Richards Bicycle Book is a good start,but Ill bet ther`ll be a Haynes manual.
Have a look on amazon
