It's pretty cool, but it looks more like a museum than a bike shop. Lots of bikes, but not many people. I prefer my bike shops smaller, more intimate and a bit more people-oriented.

When i lived there not too long ago, Wolfie's was on the main Shk Zyd Road and that cycle track was a camel race track. When the track was originally across from Meydan it was 7k all the way round, and no one cycled on it for 3 or 4 years apart from myself and a few die hards and the odd triathlete. It was the safest place to train, absolute bliss then the Tour turned up and the rest is history. I've some great photos from back then. Great memories

Since Manon asks, I should say that place has got just about nothing I'm looking for in a bike shop. What's the chance of getting a spare jockey wheel for my 1984 Suntour derailleur at Wolfi's? None. The best shops have broken cardboard boxes overflowing with knackered old bike bits you can pillage and offer you a bit of discount because you're a keen rider and honest geezer.

Top of a list bike shop requirement's is not cake and coffee. For myself is great service and helpful and good advice. I think Manon you need to go to a cafi.

Having just bought a bike from there, I can see it is an excellent bike shop! Probably world leading in its segment and the staff are very knowledgeable and in the local bike community which helps.

This is also a market where the Merc G63 is the equivalent of a Ford Fiesta or Toyota Camry. So horses for courses! Buying a car from Park Lane in London isn’t the same as other places either.

Wolfies also has helped me on small bits for previous bikes with no charge and help, so they do deliver on the LBS touch points.

You also can’t compare UAE prices with other parts of the world, as it just doesn’t work. Although, bikes are comparable to EU prices (FX depending).

If you get chance go! Cycle track is epic just watch the heat in summer!

I visited the shop this week. It is as amazing as Manon reviewed it. And yes, the coffee was amazing as are the facilities and bikes.

[saltwatercycles]

Manon, Thanks for this! Not to nix my local bike shop, but that is the coolest bike shop ever! The Tadej Pogacars' Collago's are the most! You can't buy the road bike with rim brakes any more.
The time trail bikes are insane! Love that track! Wish it were only a bike ride away!

[seattlegrrlie]

My bike shop is an old garage with a couple techs, some cool used parts, a few tools and great people. No coffee, no cakes, no fancy brands.

[atlosass]

I can't say that "coffee and cake" is the first thing I think of when I hear "bike shop". But maybe I'm doing something wrong(?)

GCN, I'm sure you're being paid well for stuff like this and more power to you, but I wonder if in the long term this type of content is really a good approach.

I remember going to Wolfi's when I lived in Dubai in 2002 he had a limited range and not many customers so good to see cycling has taken off ...well done Wolfi

[TheSportsman]

Wolfi's has changed a bit since i went in their old shop back in 2009. Back then the saturday morning bike ride was at 5am with a car at the front and at the back for safety!!! good times.

[planelover]

I've been waiting for this moment. Thanks to Wolfi's for noticing my comment from almost a year ago when GCN were reviewing the best bike shops in the world. I was here to witness it!!

[BrendanGermishuys]

Such an amazing store, those bikes are just mind-blowing. Such history, its soo cool.

[WorldChester]

I honestly just want to know the brand of those double walled coffee cups

[Keepitgoinging]

Great spot I was there last year. The track is light so evening cycles are great. A bit cooler. The salads are great at the Colnago experience. I've a C60 myself.

[nathanedensor]

Truly an amazing shop to be in, whether spending money or not. First time I stepped in the Wolfi’s store in Dubai it was phenomenal, I’d never seen such a nice range and collection of the worlds best cycling brands and products in one place

[bobmclennan]

To paraphrase Mark Twain, it looks like this place knows the words, but not the music.

[geoffreyhammett]

You’ve literally got the best job Manon! 🚴‍♀️😁
