Ken's bike shop in Margate, still there to this day and still owned and run by the same guy, currently has a Patterson Jr in the window (but it's not for sale) or if I was lucky a trip up to Dartford for OT Cycles. 

[CD17]

Edwardes, Youngs or Alpine sports / Alpine Action were my favorite hang-outs,

you would have found me in one of those pretty much every saturday spending my pocket money

Where was Youngs ?

I used Edwards, Alpine Action, Waldens, the shop at rOm, Mud Machine & a shop I can't remember the name of in Pollards Hill, but this opened quite late in 84/85.

Hot Wheels and Strongs in Bournemouth and Peter Williams in Southampton.

Custom riders when it was at 19 nightingale road in Hitchin. It was run by mason smiths mum and dad.
It's now a much much bigger outfit on jubilee way in letchworth now run by mason himself. Well worth a visit!  

this is where i got my first bmx too .. then a trip up to Ladypool cycles in birmingham when needed 

[pickle]

Moores cycles in Stevenage (the glebe shops if anyone knows Stevenage) also Halfords as it was just across the road from Bowes Lion skate park in Stevenage town centre.

Also used to catch the train to Hitchin (or ride there) to go into Custom riders 

[aerostylie]

H Craig Cycles along Bordesley green rd in brum and pop to Stetchford of course  

[Max Out!]

K.D. Racing or M.K. Cycles  (Bolton BMX Centre)  both locally ,,BMX specific shops  

Hey C!  I remember them as Bikers (got my Cycle Pro Macho a few days after they opened ) and Bolton BMX (got my ET from there).  What ever happened to 'Bikers' and Keith and Dennis (K.D Racing)?  Actually, thinking back, they reminded me a little of Chaz and Dave!!    They had another shop in Chorley I believe.   Eee the memories.  Actually, I have adopted their way of thinking and I allow the kids to come in to my shop to fix their rides.  Well, the basic stuff anyway.  They never have any money, so I let them do the jobs themselves, with a bit of supervision!   Just as long as they don't take the George!!

Yeah we all knew it as Bikers eh?     just named it as K.D as thats what ey advertised as in the later BMX Action bikes

They did have a shop in Chorley for a short while not sure if Bof did a stint ober there

They now run a PC repair shop across the road from Bolton Asda  

When I see "The Hairy bikers" on telly I think of Dennis  

It's good you let the local lads in  ,,, they'll be having you put BMX DVD's on next  

if it leads to more business ,,that's a good thing  

[stfc]

Braggs in Abingdon, It was a proper bike shop,Had that bike shop smell as You walked in that You never forget ...

Wow, you're kidding!!!  Great to see that they are still 'in business'.  They must have thought PC repair was the next big thing!!!
