Happy new year

Best wishes for 2011 to all of our customers. We look forward to looking after your bicycles in the coming year. Wr've enjoyed a festive break although we only managed one outing on our bikes due to ice, snow and ultra-low temperatures. We had a record low here (well, since we moved here some years ago)in Whittle of -10.4 degrees - bit too nippy for biking. Be aware that in these temperatures componetns on yuor bike can cease to work - especially if you leave them in a cold place as well. One of our customers, who keeps a bike in a standalone garage suffered from a frozen freehub - once we took the wheel into our nice warm kitchen it was back working within half an hour! Hopefully we won't see too much more of this very cold stuff.
