Beat the rush with a Bike-fit! Dates available from next week! 🚲

Who is a Bike-fit suitable for?

To be brutally honest it is suitable for any level of rider. A poor fitting bike is not the preserve of the new rider. Many very experienced riders have positions that can be improved (sometimes radically).

Call the store now to get booked in on 01922 411180 or for more information, follow this link to our website:- https://bike-fit.co.uk/

You might ask, Who is Bike-fit suitable for?

To be brutally honest it is suitable for any level of rider. A poor fitting bike is not the preserve of the new rider. Many very experienced riders have positions that can be improved (sometimes radically). One really interesting fact is that 98% of the Northern European population express Asymmetry (often at the pelvis). Bikes are Symmetrical so our very interaction with the bike is bound to throw up issues. One good way of checking for asymmetry is to look down at your quads/knees when pedalling. Do the legs pass the top tube evenly or is one closer to the top tube than the other? If the answer is yes, one is closer than the other then even if you are not experiencing discomfort when riding a level 2 Bike-fit would open up power that you are currently wasting or not engaging.

We also have more availability in the next few weeks too!

RIP John Taylor
1943-2022

It is with Great Sadness that we announce the death of John Taylor. Husband of Liz and father to Lynne & Mike. John had been involved in Cycling from his early teens. A long distance time-triallist at heart he lived for 24 hour racing and RRA (Place to Place) records. John started Bridgtown Cycles in the Early 80’s and has been the guy that sold so many people their 1st ever bike (as well as many more bikes afterwards). He was always charming and free with his advice, he loved to help people and was an advocate for Time Trialling, Cycling in general and specifically for Women in the sport of cycling. His inspiration led both of his children to race and Lynne through hard work, determination and the support of her father become the greatest long distance rider of her generation only losing her Lands End to John O’Groats record last year after holding it for the previous 20 years. Lynne still retains the 1000 Mile record. John was always excited by new developments in cycling technology and training methodology and nutrition. He had a thirst for knowledge right up to his last days. I recall with a smile when the very first mountain bike available in the UK was put in the shop window. The debate it created, the questions that where asked and the shaking of the heads that pronounced Dad had gone mad and would have to give it away as no one would ever buy one……….How wrong they were and how right he was.

When John retired from the Shop and his son Mike took over he didn’t rest on his Laurels. An avid cycling Historian John undertook the task of documenting the history of Lands End to John O’Groats record breaking and the history of 24 hour Time trialling. He wanted very much to get the stories and anecdotes down about these iconic events and the heroic riders before they were lost to time. John was the font of knowledge with regards to the End to End and has been integral in many successful attempts helping design the route, advise on approach and all aspects of such an epic undertaking. He has worked tirelessly as a member of the RRA Committee as well as the CTT and 24 hour fellowship, often acting as a catalyst for positive change and equality. John also undertook to write the 24 Hour fellowship Journal. A mixture of historical cycling essays, interviews and reviews of modern day superstars, a celebration of those that commit their time and energies to put on such amazing events and occasionally a controversial topic or two just to stimulate the grey cells and open up debate.

John passed the final timekeeper and handed in his number on Saturday 25th June 2022 at 9.50pm. Liz, Lynne and Mike were by his side.
Please feel free to share your memories of John as we celebrate his life.

The date of the Funeral is Thursday 21st July - If you would like to attend, please contact the store on 01922 411180 where we will pass on the details.

Thank you for your 5 star review Alan Davies!

After over 40yrs of bike racing I decided it was time to buy a full bike rather than a 'built by me' project. Bridgtown Cycles had some great offers on Ridley bikes and I booked in to get a bike and a bike fit from Mike. Two hours of getting on and off the bike, with small adjustments a plenty resulting in a smoother pedal stroke and super comfy position on what is a stunning bike. The experience of Mike for the bike fit is clear from the moment you meet him. This is in addition to the other staff throughout the shop. Lynne and Steve are very experienced bike riders and nothing is too much trouble. From MTB to Gravel to Road and Track whatever you after Bridgtown Cycles have the bikes and the experienced staff to help in the process. Cheers o7ó
