About

Our Mission
To support the benefits of people cycling for pleasure, leisure and treasure!
As a firm believer in the health benefits and money saving ‘miles to the pound’ that the simple bicycle can bring to peoples life it is my mission to help people get the most out of their bike and promote the simple pleasures of cycling around our beautiful countryside.
Realising that often when something goes wrong with a bike it can sit in the shed for a long time, as the idea of lugging (an often muddy) bike up to a workshop can be a pain for most people who lead busy lives.
So Graham established the mobile service so that people no longer have this hassle and can usually get going that very same day!
