Making Active Travel Easier
If you fancy a chance of having your name immortalised in stone then this is a competition you should enter. Parkwood Springs Trail needs a corner naming and the good guys at Sheffield City Council in association with Over-ride Cycles, Ride Sheffield and me are offering you the chance to name the corner.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
You are sat in an office gazing out of the window; the glorious sunshine is now beating down on the road outside. And, that itch just needs scratching. You know the one? It is telling you that you should be out there on your bike. A ride in countryside with the wind on your face is relief you need, it's only real soothing ointment to office life.
Then bang, the phone rings or a college fakes a cough hello; it's back to reality.
After a long cold, wet and windy winter like we've just had, I bet, we've all got that itchy feeling.
Well the weekend is going to great, so lets all get out there and ride!
I know I will be.
A brace of Marin bikes, already for the streets of Sheffield.
We had sat down and discussed the options, front suspension v rigid frame, gearing, frame sizes and even the colour. Finally settling on a Silver Marin San Rafael and a Blue Marin San Anselmo. Both great entry level hybrids and just perfect for riding some the trails and road.
So after recieving the bikes at my workshop and setting them up we took some time making sure our customers were comfortable riding them, a few laps around the car park, a few tweaks here, a few more laps and everyone was happy. Learning the gears would take a little time but after a few trips they would get the knack of choosing the right one for the terrain.
Off they went on their shiny new steads. Some new cyclists for Sheffield.
