Bike Barn

You lot really couldn’t leave well enough alone, hey? 😭🚲

We said don’t swipe. You swiped. You kept going.
So ja… now you’ve found the bit we were trying to hide. 👀

For September, a full Bike Barn service is R500 instead of R750, AND you still get to pick 1 free bonus afterwards.

Service your bike, then choose your extra:
🟢 Tubeless conversion
🟢 Buy 1 get 1 free on selected tyres
🟢 Rider bike set up
🟢 Selected grips or bar tape
🟢 Sealant top up

If your bike has been making noises that sound like admin, bring it in.

📍 Bike Barn Alberton
98 Nelson Mandela Ave, Randhart

September only. Don’t be that person who messages us on 1 October saying “is the special still running?” 😭

Okay, nee man… R500?! 😭🔥

Your bike gets the full treatment AND you still get to pick a bonus afterwards.

Like… what are we doing here? 😂

For September we’re taking the usual R750 full service down to R500, sorting the important bits properly, then letting you choose ONE FREE BONUS:

Tubeless conversion, selected tyre deal, rider bike set-up, selected grips/bar tape or a sealant top-up.

R500. Service done. Bonus chosen. Bike lekker. 🤌🚲

If your bike has been making that “I’ll deal with it later” noise for the last three weekends… later has arrived.

September only. Don’t sleep on it. 👀

Another batch from Parys because one post was never going to cover that day. 🔥🚴‍♂️

This time, a big shoutout to the riders who took on the 90km too. That group brought lekker fresh energy, plenty of laughs and a lot of kilometres to the party.

Looking back at the photos, the scale of the day really hits. Different groups, different distances, water points buzzing, support vehicles moving, riders rolling in, families waiting at the finish, prize-giving, food, noise, dust… there was a lot happening, and somehow it all came together.

Huge thank you again to every rider, every crew member, every captain, every volunteer and every sponsor who helped build the day.

Every water point stocked, every prize handed out, every snack grabbed on the move, every cold drink at the right time… it all added to the experience.

And the media still isn’t done 👀📸

More riders. More moments. More Parys coming.

PARYS AUGUST 2026. WHAT. A. DAY. 💚🚴‍♂️🔥

Huge turnout. Massive vibe.

To every rider who showed up, backed their group, helped another rider, suffered through the hard bits and brought the gees all the way to Parys… THANK YOU. You made the day what it was.

To our Bike Barn crew, captains, drivers, water point teams and everyone working behind the scenes, you guys were absolute machines. There are a lot of moving parts between Alberton and Parys, and somehow you made them all move in the same direction. 😅👏

And then there are our sponsors and suppliers.

The businesses who gave prizes, food, fuel, sweets, vouchers, hampers, refreshments, water point support and plenty of the little things riders probably didn’t even realise were happening behind the scenes.

A MASSIVE Bike Barn thank you to:

From keeping a water point stocked, to 50 bags of ice keeping things cold, bananas and banana bread keeping legs moving, wors, sweets and drinks, through to massages, hair appointments, Botox, padel, vouchers, hampers, cycling goodies and prizes that turned prize giving into an event of its own… every contribution mattered.

You didn’t simply sponsor something. You became part of the crew and this ride.

And judging by the messages, photos, videos and sore legs coming through afterwards, it was one hell of a day. 🫶

To our sponsors, suppliers, crew and every single participant:

THANK YOU FOR MAKING PARYS AUGUST 2026 WHAT IT WAS.

Now give the media team a minute because there is A LOT coming. 👀📸🎥

The photos.
The videos.
The moments we missed.
And probably a few moments some of you hoped we missed. 😂

Watch this space.

The Bike Barn Crew 💚

🥶 Winter shouldn’t stop your ride. But maybe how you prepare to Ride should change.

The difference between an epic winter ride and turning back after 10km usually comes down to what you’re wearing.

A good winter kit keeps you warm without overheating, blocks the wind when it matters, and lets you focus on the ride instead of counting down the kilometres until your fingers thaw out. ❄️🚴

Pop into Bike Barn and we’ll help you layer up with the right gear for the conditions, whether you’re chasing kilometres on the road, hitting the trails, or heading out for your Sunday coffee ride.

📍 98 Nelson Mandela Avenue, Randhart, Alberton

🚵 This Sunday, we ride.

Whether you’re building confidence on the trails or looking for a solid pace, we’ve got a group for you. No pressure, no racing… just good people, good trails and a lekker morning on the bike. 🌿☕

We’ll split into two groups:
🚴 Social & Development
⚡ A Group

Bring your bike, your basics, and your gees. We’ll take care of the rest.

💦 And don’t forget… the workshop is open afterwards, so stick around for a coffee and get your bike washed while you’re here.

We’ll be following every stage right here with race updates, standout moments, predictions and plenty of cycling chat over the next three weeks.

A chain snapping 20km from home. A gear that suddenly won’t shift. A brake rubbing before a big ride.

Most cyclists will face these at some point. The difference is knowing what to do next. 🔧🚴

Join us for our next Bike Barn Maintenance Course where we’ll cover practical skills every rider should know, including:

✅ Pre-ride checks
✅ Equipment checks
✅ Chain break repairs
✅ Gear adjustments
✅ Broken spoke scenarios
✅ Brake troubleshooting
✅ Ride nutrition and supplements

Less theory. More real-world cycling knowledge.
