The Bike Train is named after the Brighton Bike Train which took students along the A23 from their halls of residence far away to their places of learning in the town. It’s a commuter ride leaving out the crush, the waiting, the heat and the congestion. We take about 35 minutes to get from Peckham […]
The doctor doesn't look anything like this of course but it's a media tradition that everything is improved with a picture of a good looking young woman and why should I resist. The three guys that do all the work are not actually bad to look at especially when they are working on your bike. […]

Meet the team. From the left, my husband Bob, me (the bald one) and Andy who's in charge. Total age around 200 not including Eleanor. The red bike belongs to Eleanor who took the photo. Well, maybe it doesn't belong to her. Maybe she borrowed it. But still, come with us and learn off-road and […]
Put these tools to work on your bike. The good Doctor and his attendant bike nurses will fettle your bike. They index gears, tighten brakes, pump up your tyres and warn you to clean your chain. Their bike health care assistants have maps, info, and lots of local cycling-related gossip. All this for your bike. It's […]
