It’s nearly time… 🚲👧🏼🚵💃🚴🏽‍♀️

On Wednesday we will be at Thomlinson Junior School in Wigton, making some noise as the Tour of Britain ladies tear through town.

We’ve got a lovely safe space on the front of the school so we’ll be bringing along loads of bikes for you to have a go on.

Balance bikes, kids bikes in all sizes, trikes, go karts and whatever else we can fit in!

Come chat to us about Learning to Ride, Adapted Riding for individuals with disabilities, Ladies and Girls only Cycle classes and all things bikes!

You can also find out more about bike sales, servicing and repairs.

We may even find some freebies to give out!

10am til 2pm (at least)!
