Quick question,I am sorting an ad out and not sure which is correct/better.

Bicycle services available;

Or

Bicycle services offered;

a small thing I know, but the little things need to be right as well!

So available or offered?

"Offered" strikes me as more forthcoming, you are actively promoting this particular service.

"Available" might read as "I can do it but I don't really offer it as its not my strength".

Not sure it makes a huge difference in the grand scheme of things though.

Thanks for the feed back, put it like that I see you point.
Offered is growing on me.

Should it be "Bicycle servic[b]ing[/b] available"?

Unless i'm mistaken (probably) you're offering your ability to service a bike, right?

"Bicycles Services Available" sounds more like you're offering a bike related service, such as courier or something, rather than the servicing of a bike.

You're servicing the bike, not offering bike services.

Should be a colon rather than a semi.

I would go with 'available'.

services offered or services available?

Doesn't the wording depend on whether one is enquiring about, or if one is advertising said services? 🙂

Servicing has my vote.
Services is too ambiguous.

thanks for the feedback, I not to bothered about services or servicing,
But I be sticking with "Bicycle services..."
As I do other things like race and event support, training in and out of the workshop.

It is a small ad (so space is limited) in a local free be mag that goes to all the villages, so it just more to tell people basic info and direct them to the website or to phone me.
