Wonderful trip to Northern France taking in three stages of the Tour de France with my brother, Ming. Highlight was the amazing patisserie shops. Lowlight was catching COVID and sleeping for a week after returning to the UK. Now COVID clear and back to repairing bikes

Lovely weather to arrive in Lancaster. Picked up keys to our new house on Monday and visited a potential workshop for rent on Tuesday. Been for a lovely ride every day so far....

Time for hibernation? We've stopped taking in bikes now and getting prepared to move to Lancaster.

Lovely SUNFLOWERS in our garden - it brings a tinge of sadness as the reason we came to Leicestershire was to set up a market garden but because it rained heavily for months this winter we decided to abandon the project. I named the cycle business because when we were in Shropshire we passed a sunflower farm in Hereford where you go around and cut the ones you want to buy, and gave one each to our friends and brought big smiles on everyone's faces. My idea was for the market garden to have an area of sunflowers and when I returned a completed bike to also give a SUNFLOWER

Last week we had a rainbow of bicycles in for repair. Seems appropriate today when it's been raining.

Just been out on a lovely ride and taken photo of our calves when we got home! One is mine with lots of hard cycling miles and the other is Deb's with not alot of cycling miles but obviously a diet high in steroids (I always maintain she's a wasted athlete: Deb has always had very muscular legs, even with no exercise). For those interested mine is on the right, or is it left? On the right.

Zen and the art of bicycle maintenance!

We have decided to restart our mobile bicycle repair service.
If you are a key worker please tell us and we will prioritise your repairs.
To maintain social distancing we will use the phone or text to gather information about work required. When we arrive we will phone and ask for the bike to be brought outside, for us to pick up. For bike returns we will leave the bike by your door and phone you from the vehicle, making sure you take possession before we leave.
Please pay by bank transfer where possible.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Sorry to inform you that we are suspending our service until further notice following government advice to stay at home and not to travel. This morning we have removed advertising from the vehicle. As the weather is getting warmer and brighter more bikes have been coming in and it is with a heavy heart that we have to stop working on the bikes for the time being
