A near perfect review of the TCR Advanced Pro 1.....

Big Thanks to all the ladies who attended the Glasgow Gals Opening Evening, was great to chat about clipping in, nutrition, turbo trainers, new bikes and clothing. Also fantastic that another 7 people signed up for the club on the night, great to see the club we sponsor growing....

We were happy to supply and deliver 6 New Cube Touring bikes to West Dumbartonshire Community & Volunteering Services, now the team can look forward to miles of active travel.

Cracking bike and another great win for Marianne Vos on her Liv Langma. We have models of this available to view in store...

Encouraging words for Scottish kids.....
Girls cycling to school number triples following Sustrans Scotland project
A decade-long project run by Sustrans Scotland has proved a significant success, growing the number of girls cycling to school three-fold, in participating schools.
... 7.9% of girls at schools supported through Sustrans’ I Bike programme reported cycling to school in 2018, compared to 2.8% in 2008.
Girls are less likely to meet the recommended physical activity levels than boys, according to the Scottish Government’s Scottish Health Survey.
The Scottish Government funded the I Bike project, which carried out 6,200 activities aimed at girls in the past three years alone. Across the genders, I Bike Schools saw greater numbers of pupils travelling to school by bike (7.1% compared to the national average of 3.7%).
Since 2009, I Bike has worked in a total of 375 schools across Scotland, engaging with more than 75,000 pupils.

Glasgow Gals Open Evening....

Here is a list of the Led Rides that our sponsored club the Glasgow Gals have for April.

We have a Storck Durnario Platinum FRAME ONLY for sale, RRP £4699 Dales Special Price £2350, you could build an amazing light sportive endurance bike at a bargain price. The frame is size Medium, here is what Road.cc said when they tested the bike :-
Storck's Durnario Platinum is the German company's lightweight endurance bike, and at 6.4kg and with a buttery smooth ride it delivers on both fronts. The first thing that strikes you about the Durnario Platinum is how smooth and refined the ride is. It's outstandingly supple, soaking up all the ripples and imperfections of even the most badly surfaced British roads. There are no gimmicks or tricks here, no decoupled seat tubes, rubber inserts or suspension dampers, instead just a simple reliance on wide tyres and cleverly shaped tube profiles and carbon fibre layup.
