Is Spring Here?

After such a dismal winter have we finally turned the corner towards Spring?


Although it's been a very mild winter it's not been great for cycling, the wet weather has really taken a toll on riders and bikes, give me cold and clear any time.

So Spring now seems to be on it's way, flowers are blooming and the days are definitely getting longer and the roads and trails are starting to dry out.  

It's now that most people start to think about getting out of their winter hibernation and getting out and about to enjoy the lovely countryside in South Wales and what better way of seeing it than on a bike.

So now's the time to dust off that bike that's been lurking in the shed or garage to a service, replacing those perished and worn tires, brakes and cables ensuring you get the most fun and enjoyment out of riding your bike.

Don't forget if you bike is beyond economic repair then we can supply you with a nice new shiny bike from manufactures such as Superior & Raleigh

For example these two fantastic bikes are just the thing for a do-it-all bike; perfect for cruising the streets, commuting, and enjoying the country lanes.  They come equipped with plenty of gears, efficient and powerful disc brakes, smooth running road tires and flat bars.
