A great day of cycling thanks to @FaringdonCycle @farcycles of #Faringdon, and their annual Tour de Farcycles.
A great 80-mile route, good company, and excellent food stops.

Honestly, there are fewer better feelings…
This is Alex. Alex is a towering 6'2" 13 yo who's only ever ridden a tricycle before today. Due to his autism, he's never master a pedal bike, so he spent 30 minutes on our pink adult's balance bike.
35 minutes into his first lesson, Alex is riding his own blue pedal bike. 🩷🩷

Today's Bank Holiday cycling related fun included picking up a lovely 20" bike donated to our shop for recycling, driving out to repair a chain for stranded cyclist which had snapped mid ride, and taking my favourite 10 yo for her first 10 mile bike ride!
Watching an #Eclipse online is like watching Pornhub.
Just not the same. 😬😂

Does your child or anyone you know feel they could benefit from time with a kind and patient trainer?
Our volunteers have many years of experience taking both enthusiastic and nervous children through to riding a bike for the first time. Book online!

The Farcycles Sportive gets underway in Faringdon with over 230 participants! What a fantastic turnout, and thanks to all our helpers. #follyfest 🚲🚲☀️
Thanks to Harry from @ZyroFisher/ SRAM Technical UK for his support today. We had a real pain of a problem with a Code R disc brake. His patience and help were greatly appreciated.

There you are, replacing cables and trying to true the impossible on a bike from @Halfords_uk, and someone pops in with a “@canyon_bikes I just bought online that just isn’t working!”
Turns out is it’s a 13 spd 1x @campagnolosrl!
Some applied logic and @YouTube saved the day!
Sometimes it’s worth checking when the apprentice decides to fit a new chain when your back is turned. 😬
Today's 1-1 lesson at the Park was very special.
7-year-old 'H' cldn't ride and cldn't master a balance bike. At the sight of one, she ran. We removed the pedals from her bike and started simply walking while seated.
45 minutes later she was pedalling for the first time.
Watchfield Beavers enjoying a cycle lesson at the Cycle Park with volunteers from Farcycles. The group have been learning about how to perform an ‘M’ Safety Check, how to ride on the correct side of the road and how to ride safely near a Zebra Crossing!

Incredibly, we’ve sold out the first weekends in 24 hours!
We wish everyone who wants their child to learn to ride knew about these courses.
Guaranteed goosebumps when they first pedal. ❤️
