Quick quiz:
What do all these kids bikes have to do with one of the UK's biggest closed-road bike events..?!
It might not seem obvious.
This Saturday was one of our busiest days of the year, and that was thanks to many visitors here for the Etape Caledonia.
The riders & supporters used our mechanic service, bought merchandise, hired Ebikes, and purchased spares. We pointed them to local cafes & shops.
Thanks to busy days like this, it means we can:
- Offer local kids free bike swaps when they get bigger
- Keep our DIY workshop space open
- Offer free bike hire if you're in a pinch
- Refurbish donated bikes for another life
- Offer local employment
We know that many local businesses benefit from a boost that an event like this can give to our area - which in turn keeps our doors open, and serving our local community ðĪ
