MAGIC BIKE!!

Factoid of the Day. Here is a little something I have spotted.

There is such thing as a MAGIC BIKE!!

As I viewed the video for David Guetta's Titanium track, I saw that they inadvertently released images of a bike that can change from right to left hand drive...

(appealing images taken on my phone of my TV..)

Left hand drive..

To right and drive..

This is huge news in the bike world! There is no way that this could be some lazy film editing and just mirroring the movie... its clearly magic.. nothing less.

Ouch, that's going to hurt...

... but look how strong the brake is!

This is a nasty crash in anyone's book but the Hope brake is super strong!

We have been stocking and servicing Hope brakes and other components since the dawn of time so pop down and see the guys that use, ride and sell Hope kit!

I run this model of brake on my bike and now I know they are stronger than me :-)

(There are some fairly graphic pictures on the link, just a warning.)

Red Bull Mini Drome!

This has been doing the rounds for about a year or so but the Red Bull Velodrome is pretty cool and I am super pleased to see Chris Akrigg tearing it up... still!

Featured in the Metro Paper.

This Video is pretty cool, there are some funny crashes and some that look like they hurt. You will know what I mean when you watch it. :-)

Don't Slip...

Because that would probably ruin you weekend...

Oh dear... Public Humiliation :-)

This has made my year! Again, another instance of staff making fools of themselves. Priceless!

Sam likes the 90's fashion items we found in store.

Rocket power parts are the way forwards!

Shortly after this Sams normal clothes were stolen so he continued to walk around for 5 mins looking like a hero!

Stock Take Time..

Well it is that time of year again where we have to take some time out to see where we are and see what stock we have. This means that we will have to close to get this mammoth effort done in as little time as possible. We will be closed:

Monday 6th Feb

Maybe Tuesday morning - we don't know if we need to yet...depends on how well we do on Monday :-) 

This also means that we will not be answering the phones or replying to emails over that time period.

If you need to get in contact then please send us an email and we will reply ASAP otherwise we ask that you hold on tight and give us a call late Tuesday or Wednesday please. You will not be able to drop any bikes off in store and no web orders will be processed or posted on Monday.

We hope to be back up and running on Tuesday morning so on that note I will leave you with this picture to keep you smiling :-)

Sams Tail

Ha, This made me laugh for a long time. It was much better than expected and all I can say is that I need to watch my back, revenge is sweet I'm told.... :-)

Look out for the chap on the pavement.. He's like - "Say Whaat?!" :-)

You just cant get the staff these days...

This is what happens when you employ funny students to arrange displays of expensive bike gear...

They get locked in by wiser staff members and humiliated on the internet :-)

Ritch@KR

Ha, Old Times.

After yesterdays post of the trials video, I remembered I have a video of myself and an old friend doing some trials back in the day. we were OK for some part time riders but oh did we think we were cool :-/

Most of the spots in Leamington are un-ride-able now but I want to get out on the trials bikes again and see if I can still ride.

Ritch@KR

We all need one of these...

This is a great idea!! Everyone needs one :-/

Funny all the same :-)

Ritch@KR

Dam, Don't you Hate it when this happens!

Luckily they were just empty boxes but is still annoying! 

Helmet boxes everywhere! But as you can see we have Giro and Met Helmets in stock :-)

Lucky we have an Andy to sort them all out :-)
