Riding Through Energy Challenges
We've faced quite a ride with our energy bills skyrocketing by over 330% in the last year. October alone saw us paying out over £3,000 for electricity. Like many other small businesses, we haven't received government support. So, we're turning to our incredible community for assistance.
We're offering hefty discounts on our new bikes to help us keep the lights on, and we're offering you a free 1-1 workshop, free coffee Wednesdays and 2 free bicycle services with your new bike purchase.
We want all of our customers to make our cafe your second home; we've got cosy corners for your makeshift office and delicious coffee to keep you fuelled.
Pedalling Through Post Look Mum No Hands Closure
We're not alone in our struggles. The recent closure of the iconic Look Mum No Hands Cycle Cafe and Workshop hit us hard, just like many independent hospitality businesses. But here we are, navigating the challenges, recovering from COVID restrictions, and still standing strong thanks to you.

Our Unique Position
Contrary to the narrative of widespread bike shop prosperity during the pandemic, we, as a small cycle cafe business, faced unique hurdles: adapting to the constantly changing hospitality restrictions and ensuring our team stayed employed. On top of this, we struggled to secure stock without the buying power of larger businesses, particularly those operating exclusively online.
Now, facing challenges similar to those of the big players, we're committed to offering you the best deals on the bike brands we believe in. Forget the online giants; when you buy from us, you're supporting a community-driven business focused on encouraging everyone to enjoy cycling. By supporting our bicycle sale, you’re ensuring the future of the community events and groups we support, including our annual Cranksgiving food bank ride, the New Forest Off Road Club talks, summer Pizza Runs, weekly social group rides and charity festival fundraising rides.
Supporting Sustainable Transportation
With the 'Keep The Lights On,' bicycle sale, we're not just selling bikes but championing a greener future. Cycling isn't just good for the environment, it's a fantastic way to save money on transportation. Cargo and electric bikes, in particular, are excellent options for reducing your car usage.

Empowering Smaller, Customer-Focused Brands
We're all about quality and value. That's why we take pride in collaborating with smaller, customer-focused cycling brands. When you buy from us, you're not just getting a bike, you're getting a product we stand firmly behind.
Celebrating Resilience and Future Plans
As we hit the 8-year mark, we're raising a toast to resilience. 'Keep The Lights On' is more than a bicycle sale: it celebrates weathering storms and a kickstart into 2024 and beyond. We're not closing our doors; we're opening them wider, ready for more growth and community engagement.

In Stock: LARGE
Basso are one of the only long standing European bike manufacturers who still produce their bikes completely in house. From their frames to the majority of their finishing kit, Basso bikes are made in Dueville, Italy. For such incredibly high quality finish, we believe Basso to be extremely good value when looking at mid to high end road and gravel bikes.
The Tera is the perfect balance of agility, speed and comfort, being the first bi-material gravel bike on the market with a rear triangle suspension system. The hydraulic Apex 1x11 groupset is extremely capable for any gravel adventures. Plenty of clearance (700x45mm) and carbon forks make this a versatile option for road and offroad riding.
Basso:
‘The first mixed-material, semi-suspension, performance-oriented gravel solution on the market. Taking the best properties of not one, but two materials and constructing a better way to explore new horizons. A stunning raw aluminium frame is complimented by a carbon fork and a unique carbon rear triangle suspension system.
The Tera is the ultimate trekking and gravel bike. The internally routed cables provide not only clean aesthetics but protection from the elements. It’s compatible with both 1x and 2x groupsets so you can use it for the long commutes as well as the wildest of gravel rides.
4 bottle cage mounting positions mean you can personalise and customise your adventure and bike ride to your exact specifications. Thanks to the specifically designed frame shape, it can also carry multiple bags throughout the frame, on the seat post and across the handlebars meaning you can be out all day and carry everything you need.
The carbon rear triangle on the Tera is truly the focal point of this frame. Providing a unique, fixed-pivot suspension solution. The carbon layup has been studied to ensure an extremely reliable structure that is both vertically compliant yet laterally efficient and reactive when riding providing maximum power output at full pace. The forks on the front have also been given this high level of attention to detail. The forks work with the rear triangle of the bike to provide a certain level of suspension and comfort while creating stiffness to prevent power loss associated with suspension forks.
The Tera has been built to be as versatile as possible, ready for anything you throw at it. It’s ideal for a rider looking for bike designed for versatility and all-day comfort. Whether riding through the city or taking on the most demanding of gravel and trekking adventures, the unique suspension design but can handle it all.’

SIZING Guide:
XXS = 44
XS = 48
S = 51
M = 53/54
L = 56XL = 58
XXL = 60/61
**Be aware that geometry doesn't necessarily dictate the riding a bike aims at (though it is obviously a pretty good guide) - the Astra and Diamante SV are good examples. Always remember a geometry that fits you will make you faster than a geometry that doesn't - if the bike is a top-of-the-line race bike but doesn't fit, it is unlikely to make you fast - more likely uncomfortable, distracted and slower as a result!**
