Halfords Southport joins up with Big Bike Revival and offers FREE bike servicing
HALFORDS Southport is calling on customers to dust off
forgotten bikes and bring them in store for a free service, worth £15*, and £5
off parts and accessories, to call for more people to take summer journeys on
their bikes and rediscover a love of cycling.
On Tuesday, 26 May and Thursday, 28 May 2015, your local Halfords store is supporting the
Big Bike Revival, a national campaign brought to you by the CTC, the national
cycling charity, aimed at getting thousands of forgotten bikes out of garden
sheds and back on the roads.
Halfords' Community and CSR Manager, Emma Thomas, said:- "There are lots
of forgotten bikes hidden away that, with a service and some TLC, will give a
summer of great cycling, helping make memories and inspiring a love of cycling
for years to come."
Halfords YouGov Journeys Report has shown that the cycling trend is set to
increase this summer, with 14% of people cycling more than they did 12 months
ago, and 18% cycling more than once a month.**
Olympic Cycling Champion Chris Boardman MBE, said:- "With summer almost
upon us, there's really no better time to put a new lease of life into an old,
dusty bike and get out into the fresh air on two wheels. Whether you're aiming
to get fit and shed a few pounds, fancy a new commute to work or are looking for
new, active outings your family can do together, this initiative is sure to
reignite our nation's passion for cycling."
Halfords is also encouraging more children and adults to get back on their bikes
with its free kids bike workshops, which have been attended by 58,000 children
and parents, plus 12,000 pupils in their final year of primary school have been
taught bike maintenance and safety at schools across the country.
To book your free service contact your local participating store (this can be
