Draft & Flow - Community Cycle Workshop

The reward for the climb...
Is always the view, and descent.
A fun midweek social ride, heading above Aberfeldy.
Same time next week? (We can't guarantee it'll be drier but it surely can't be as wet..!)

1 day and 2 years
2 years since we opened Draft & Flow, and on Volunteers' Week, the perfect chance to say thank you to everyone who helped build our space!
1 day...late to World Bike Day, but in our defence, we were out riding and forgot 😎
Open again today!

Closed Wednesday this week, back open Thursday at 0930.
Our social ride is still on in the evening - WhatsApp group in bio for details 🚲

...but we can ✊🏼
T-shirts instore now.

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 🤝

Big bike weekend in Perthshire!
Tomorrow sees the start of the epic Highland Trail 550 race: 550miles, 16000m of self-supported mountain bike racing through the most incredible highland landscapes.
We'll be dot-watching for who got a final warmup around our local Aberfeldy trails ahead of the event!
The HT550 passes through the upper reaches of Glen Lyon in the morning before climbing over to Loch Rannoch - and we recommend as the perfect place to grab a coffee and watch the racers fly past ☕
