    Tomorrow 10.30 we'll be cycling down from Laid Back Bikes to Beach House Boardwalk cafe area to do some demos + try outs.

    Very pleased to have ICE* trikes from Falmouth offer to join us at our Ligfiets Zondag EdFoC event. They'll be bringing up a selection of reclined trikes including the VTX for you to try out. (They are at York Rally too so we're already a long way from home)

    Also expect to have two Nazca tandems there. If you want to find out what riding two or three wheels is like on something very unique then you know where to come.
    Ride leaves shop at 28 Marchmont Crescent at 10.30 (assemble before but please don't block pavement too much))

    Or meet us down at prom from noon - 3.30 ish.

    No booking required. This is last ride from our shop at Marchmont Crescent. 5 year lease runs out in a month and rental costs have risen 23% against an inflation rate of 0.5% (+Euroref vs pound variations).
    New base for us on Viewforth close to canal soon. Co-businesses Sector (Storck and Enigma) and Bike Fitting will make own announcement.

    Rats! I'm otherwise engaged, and I did want to try out a recumbent!

    Very welcome another time. For a two wheeler the area near shop works well.

    Cheers - I really will try to stop by before you move, since at the minute you're close to the office.

    Had a great time two weeks ago with LaidBack on this very run which resulted in the order of a Nazca Fuego for me! I can confirm the scones are excellent. Trike was also great fun to ride. Would have loved to come too but we're off to visit friends for the day. Hope it's a good one for you all.

    Yes. Smaller crowd than last year but good enough. Had the ICE van to run some extras down for us. It had 600 miles on it's journey as went via York yesterday.

    Hankchief came by from family bike event on Helios tandem / road train.
    Darkerside cycled over from Glasgow on his MetaBike.
    I gave Boardwalk cafe owner Eddie a wee tour round the prom on our Nazca tandem. He also went on a trike.

    So it was all good but rain came on. Went back via Crags but that was winding down but by all accounts had been a massive success.
