Just a quick update I feel is due. 🚴♂️
I have an influx of customers contacting to book in from out of Fylde areas. Im proud too of outreached customers from Lancaster/Preston and surrounding areas. I am happy to service, repair,build your bike. I will do my best to book you in as soon as possible and take care of your pride and joy to the highest standard.
Of course a lot will be coming from Colin Gardner aka The Bike Magician retiring from that area, I understand people will be in need of someone to take care of there bike going forward and I get that. Much respect for Colins experience and skill over several decades.
However I must stress I spend at least 1.5 -4 hours on the road most evenings dropping and picking up bikes. Of which wouldn't be feasible to go out of the fylde or even lytham/warton/preston in the summer months at least... I just want to give an insight into the nature of the business I run to the best of my ability from my home Bispham dedicated bike workshop i have built myself from the ground up.
The work involved to give an honest idea of what I do for the cycling community. Mainly a road bike specialism.
My contact opening times are Monday-Friday 9am-5pm , but I work at least 20 plus hours each week out of those hours to achieve completion of jobs and paperwork, drop off/ collection+ replying too customers that i have missed calls that have successfully left text/whatsapp/email messages as my hands have either been in a parts washer or bleeding brakes,driving or hourly rate timed jobs that is almost impossible to break off to answer. Its just me, and I plan to keep it that way for quality reassurance.
🚚 im in a first generation Electric van that doesnt have the mileage too go far out of the fylde! Nor can I physically work more hours to incorporate the travel time. Im not being funny too not collect and drop off your bikes from further Lancashire but theres only so much I can manage and I hope theres an understanding there after reading this far.
Your welcome to drop off to me by apointment, as I only have so much storage space and there is a queue and I hope this message comes across clear and positive and gives a better understanding of my small business and how it works.
Thankyou sincerely - Jason- Blackpool Bike Services
