Helen Skelton gets there by bike!

This is pretty impressive and sounds like hard work to say the least. 


Sorry for the large image but its hard to read at the best of times..

I have got to say, that bike looks awesome! A bit overkill for the commute or nipping down the shops though ay? ;-)

Remember we also have a snow bike for sale!! (Although dwarfed somewhat by that beast...)

Contrail, Different but I want one!

This is a cool idea and I think it could have more uses that just a novelty product. 




What do you think? The pictures show the trails as appearing quite well and it being quite effective. 


I will let the websites do the details...



I want to see if it will be put into production and sold in the UK, I think I want one!

We Like Titanium!

We have a lot of Van Nicholas frames and bikes sold through the shop and the finish on this Amazon model is better than ever.


They make great winter bikes due to their great road compliance, comfort and weather resistance. They are designed with different riding types in mind, there are touring and road racing bikes in their line up that helps the rider know in confidence that the bikes are well thought out machines. 

We love the options list. When you order a Van Nicholas from us you can have pretty much anything you want. We custom build bikes from the frame up or you can buy a specified packed from Holland. Its a great system and for another fee you can get the bike custom built to YOUR geometry. We have done a lot of bikes this way as it is sometimes cheaper to get the bike in titanium than steel these days.

If you want to come and have a look at the great build quality or to try our demo Rohloff Van Nic' (Details coming soon) then call or pop into John Atkins Cycles where we will be happy to show you the lovely bikes.

I Want a Bike With This On! Seat Tube Shifters!

I think seat tube shifters should come back into fashion. There have been worse acts of bike fashion in the last few years. I may make it my mission!




Also I would like to ask all of you to add Gary Fisher as a friend on Facebook because he manages to find loads of interesting bike related banter!

Pashley Guv'nor 3 Speed Fixed!!


We have had this bike in for a little while but very few people know of its awesome custom-ness! 

This bike is sporting a Stirmy 3 speed rear hub but the fixed version! We have also changed the saddle for a more pliable Brooks B17 Brown. This bike is still running a front brake for safety but I understand most of the hardcore fixie riders lose them quick-smart. 



If you are interested in the bike here are some more details:

Frame size - 20"
Price - £999 NOW £799!!!

Let us know on 01926 430211

or pop in to store.
