It’s coming up to fifteen years since we first opened our doors in Dorking, and ten years since we knocked through into next door, so it’s time for another change.
It seems like a lifetime ago when we posted at the beginning of the lockdown to say that as a bike shop we had been allowed to stay open, for which we were very grateful. Since then, we have seen an unprecedented demand for bikes, for which we are obviously also very grateful, but unfortunately this has left us and Trek very low on stock, with some models temporarily sold out.
As a bike shop we have been allowed to stay open, which we are very grateful for. In the spirit of what we’re all being asked to do though, we would ask that you please only visit us if you need to.
Now more than ever it’s important we get our dose of fresh air and exercise to maintain our health and sanity. So we’re open as usual, with our workshop working hard repairing bikes to keep our customers pedalling, and there are a couple of extra things we’re doing...
This is a question we’re getting asked more and more frequently. People are often surprised by our answer, and even sometimes a bit uncomfortable when asking, so we thought we ought to make it clear – yes we do, and don’t feel uncomfortable asking!
Hello to all our customers, we hope you managed to make the most of all the lovely hot, dry riding this summer, and are still getting out in it now the dust has settled, and turned to mud. Never mind, embrace the changes, and only a week until the days get longer again, so on that optimistic note, here’s a quick round-up of what’s been keeping us busy in the shop this year…
Make sure you give yourself some time on your bike this Christmas, and we're open across most of the period to look after you - the workshop will be open too if you need us. Here are our opening times...
It’s been a belter of a summer, but the clocks are going back next week, and winter is on the way, so time to take advantage of our workshop’s reduced labour rate Winter Makeover.
It’s that time of year again, the 2019 bikes have already started arriving, so we need to make some space.
Nick is heading off to Dundee to continue his studies, so we wish him the best of luck with that, and we're now looking for a new Nick.
Happy Easter everyone! Make sure you get time to go for a ride and burn off the chocolate. And if you need us, we'll be open...
After 10 years of service, the time has come for me to hang up my pedal spanner and move on from Head for the Hills
Trek have recently launched a new electric bike range, the Super Commuter, and for a limited time, we’ve got a range-topping Super Commuter 9+ in the shop, available to test ride.
Mountain bikes are lots of fun. Not a particularly surprising statement from a bike shop, so to expand on this a bit more...
As we head towards the end of another year, and our thoughts might be turning from pedalling to eating, drinking and sitting on the sofa, we thought it would be an opportune time to offer a bit of inspiration with a round up everything we’ve been up to recently...
The first door of the advent calendar was opened this morning, so it’s time to start thinking about Christmas. And what’s the hardest thing for your nearest and dearest at this time of year? Trying to think of present ideas for you.
I signed up to Strava back on March 4, 2013. Up until that date, I had heard friends talk of Strava, boast of their achievements, regale me with distance/climbing/speed stats. Up until that date, my riding consisted of just that. Riding.

We can’t quite believe it, but this month it’s our 10th birthday, so firstly, a great big thank you to all our customers, as obviously, we couldn’t have got this far without you.
Firstly, Happy New Year to all our customers. Have you made your cycling resolutions for the year ahead yet? A big event or trip, cycling a little further or faster, or maybe just to get out as much as you can and enjoy your bike?
It's that time of year again, the 2016 bikes are starting to arrive, and we need to make some space for them.

For those of you that received our newsletter yesterday, we pondered on how many varieties of humous the new Waitrose, as apparently the largest in the South East, might have.
Here's a bike we've been really looking forward to arriving. A Project One Trek Emonda SLR, in vapour coat orange, a matt finish with subtle gloss decals.
With what felt like an endless summer finally coming to a close, it seems like a good time to update you on everything we’ve been up to in the shop…
