My 2 pence worth- the Halfords in Colchester are actually alright. They're OK about letting you have a test ride in most circumstances and they seem to employ staff who actually do proper cycling. All seem about 18 years old though, but they are friendly.
The Decathlon on Surrey Queys seem OK - I actually take my bike to be serviced there as they do a decent job at a fair price.

I have a (very) cheap Decathlon road bike. It's pretty damn good, for the price.
The mechanic must have spent 30 minutes on it before I bought it. Didn't have the heart to tell him when he handed it over that I was taking it straight home and taking it all to bits - I bought it because I needed some shifters and the bike was cheaper than I could get shifters on their own.
However, I since rebuilt it and it is pretty ok.

+1 decathlon.
No one has mentioned their loyalty card system that earns vouchers either.
Our nearest is Stockport, so a 60-70 mile round trip, but we tend to make a couple of trips a year, really great to go in the summer and get Josh's new "school coat" etc. Might be slightly more ££ than Tesco & Asda, but better quality. He's got one of their sailing coats this winter.
