KEEP YOUR BIKES LOCKED UP. MAKE IT AS HARD AS POSSIBLE FOR THIEVING NO GOODS. I find it sad when people phone the shop telling me they have had there bicycle stolen, I like it even less when a mate phones saying he had his garage broken into and bikes taken. IT IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE. Lock your bikes Please. Even if you are just calling into the paper shop to grab a quick pint of milk, I know it takes a couple of minutes, but it takes less time for someone to grab it. AT HOME. LOCK IT UP. Back garden/garage/shed/in the hall. I have been told about people having bikes stolen from all and it's happening more and more. Sorry for the rant!!. Enjoy the warm weather and ride a lot. Andrew.

We are taking a much needed summer break. It's hard to get quite a lot of parts at the moment, so.The body boards are packed there are bikes on the car, we are off to Wales to stay in a yurt. I just hope that the weather is good. The shop will be closed for a couple of weeks and hopefully I will be able to get all the stock I can't get at the moment by then. The shop will reopen on TUESDAY the FORTH OF AUGUST . Thanks Andrew,Tre & family.

Hello all. I hope everyone is doing well. A quick update on shop hours. I will be working Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday, 10.30- 4.00. Saturday 10.00-2.00. As ever, I am a booking in for all work other than very small repairs and i will replace tubes(punctures) while you wait. At present, like most summers I am running roughly 2 weeks ahead of myself. Please be patient, I am a small shop and I work front of house and repairs bicycles in between serving customers.
Thanks Andrew.

I hope everyone is well and are getting lots of bike rides in for your daily exercise. The violas that are normally in the bike shop basket out the front of the shop are looking very well. Happy Friday.

THINGS WILL RETURN TO NORMAL, we just don't quite know when as yet.
It is with a heavy heart that I have decided that it is going to be best to close up shop until these uncertain times have passed by. I will help out with any key workers and NHS staff who have a emergency issue on work cycle transport. I will be contactable via Facebook or if you are a pre existing customer you might have my work mobile number.
Stay safe and stay well.
We will see you on calmer sea's.
For now thanks for your ongoing support in our little independent bicycle shop.
Andrew, Tre & the kids.

Lets just hope it isn't needed.

4.8 million people are registered self-employed in the UK. Figures are of 2017 according to the Office of National Statisticics. It would be easy enough to work out what each person is entitled to based on their tax returns. Include self-employed in statutory sick pay.
