  • Pendle ErgoRack

    I've been using a Pendle Ergo Rack for a year now to transport my E-Mountain Bike quickly & easily on the roof of my car. I can honestly say it's a revelation! Saves me getting the towbar & cycle carrier mounted on the back for quick rides by myself & it's certified for use up to 23kg. If I'm honest mine is over 26kg & I drove to the French Alps with it on the roof with wheel attached with no problems at all.....Great Product. I even got some axle adapters to carry my quick release gravel bike!

  • Morzine, Portes du Soleil, France

    2022 Annual trip to the Alps with my boys.....I'm the fat one!!

    This was the best prepared year we've had with barely any mechanicals to speak of.

    I put that one down to good preparation before the trip.

    The bikes all needed a good overhaul when they came back home after being battered daily for 2 weeks in the driest contions I've ever ridden in!

  • Calling all Mountain Bikers!

    If you're new to the sport. Unfamiliar with the area or simply want to ride some new trails or want to ride with company. I ride out from Glossop on a regular basis. I also travel over to the Ladybower & Castleton areas regularly to ride numerous trails. Just give me a shout if you want to join us on a ride. I'm happy to ride with any level of ability, we've all got to start somewhere.....my boys will tell you that as they all started at about 8 years old!
