Exciting news is on the horizon as we unveil the 'Keep The Lights On' Bicycle sale —a heartfelt initiative to celebrate our 8th birthday, kick-off 2024, and champion sustainable living through cycling. It's not just about celebrating another year; it's a symbol of our resilience as a community, a nod to overcoming the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, and a commitment to creating a vibrant future with your support.

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

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.
