Bicycle Buddy

Hi all I’d like to update you about the current situation in the Bicycle Buddy World ! Bicycle Buddy is 15 years old this year , quite amazing really as I didn’t really know at all how things would play out oust my life in Corporate Sales . So fast forward and I’m thankfully very busy with all things cycling in Doncaster . The biggest development is that we have been delivering the Active Travel Program for City of Doncaster Council . This has been a great development for us . We now have a Hub at Doncaster Railway station so please feel free to drop in for a chat or book your bike in there for servicing and repairs . We are still carrying out mobile repairs however due to demand the lead time for bookings is at least 1 week. Thanks for all your support , keep peddling! 🚴🏻🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️
Regards
Chris & the Team

On 11 May, Dr Sarah Ruggins will set out to do something special, claiming the outright world record for cycling LEJOGLE - one end of the UK and back - a total of 2,700km.

"I'm feeling calmer as we get closer to the date," the 37-year-old, who works in finance, told Cycling Weekly a fortnight ahead of D-Day. "I was really nervous probably two or three weeks ago but now everything is starting to come together, we have all the team logistics, the crew is finalised, our route has been approved by Guinness World Records, and my taper is in sight. So I'm feeling calm and locked in."

Ruggins is aiming not just to break the women's record, which stands at 10 days, five hours, set by Louise Harris, but the overall LEJOGLE record, set by James MacDonald of five days, 18 hours. She is riding in aid of The Bike Project and Bikes for Refugees, two initiatives close to her heart.
