Black Pill Bikes
Black Pill Bikes is a Nocker bike shop in the Principality of Dyfed in Cymru, the land mortals know as Wales.
Overview
After the closing of the Llywn Llwydd mines, a few nockers decided to try and make a go of things elsewhere. They settled in the small village of Black Pill, southwest of Swansea and north of Mumbles, and built a bike shop in the early 1990s. Now Black Pill Bikes thrives on rentals and sales. All the bikes are of good manufacture and in perfect repair. Furthermore, due to the enchantments of the crafters, bikes that are forgotten and left on the beaches or bike paths return themselves! The shop owners also have a reputation for excellent customer service. They take time to show youngsters how to ride without training wheels and always reserve their tandem bikes for couples in love. Business is especially good in the spring and summer, when the rides along the Swansea Bike Path from Mumbles to central Swansea highlight the sparkling bay. The shop itself is small and junky, but there's a park with benches for customers to enjoy while they wait.
