  • The training room was a first rate manufacturer style workshop with every required tool to hand with their place on the wall. It gave me inspiration for my own dream garage set up.

Our heartfelt thanks to the Association of Cycle Traders, whose unwavering support has helped our charity fulfil its objective of educating the public on the safe use and repair of bicycles.
