Services FAQ
Why is the shop called ‘Square
Wheels’?
Because it’s in the square in
Strathpeffer. You didn’t think it referred to a bike with square wheels
did you?
Who runs Square
Wheels?
Square Wheels happened when Steve woke
up one morning and found a bike shop in his garage. Steve is also the
local organiser for the Scottish Cycle Union's Cross-country MTB
series, and has been involved in trail building and trail access since
he was in short trousers.
How big is
the shop?
Square Wheels is one of those few
buildings which are actually bigger on the inside than they are on the
outside. Put another way, it has a cubic footage equivalent to eight
phone boxes standing on top of each
other.
Why is the phone always
engaged?
Steve is a very popular
guy.
What makes Square Wheels
special?
Personal service, attention to detail
and our ‘no queue’ guarantee. (If there are more than three people in
front of you, we’ll close the
shop.)
What are the opening
hours?
Square Wheels never closes except for
Tuesdays when we're out on the trails. The shop will also be shut from
12.30-1.00pm on Christmas Day.
