Gutted we missed this! And you’re all booked up for Earby today. Are there any plans to do this again? I’d be happy to pay for the service and it’s ideal at these locations as I don’t have a carrier for the car x
Phil Honeyman
Connor Davy Ashley Smith
Are you fully booked for Earby tomorrow?
Polite, professional service with quality components @ good prices. James serviced two of our boys' bikes - gears & brakes checked, cables replaced, bottom brackets replaced (both very necessary - see one example below, which required huge effort to remove), suspension forks repressured, headset tightened to correct torque, derailleurs adjusted (one removed, straightened & restored), seat tube greased for a stuck seat post, and more. Incredibly patient and friendly guy, especially considering the weather today, thank you!
Due to government advice during the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of people in Lancashire are returning to cycling as an alternative to public transport. As the country starts to return to a new normal, and people are returning to work, Go Velo want to help businesses and their employees who wish to use bicycles as an alternative method of transport.
This is a free service, to businesses in the East Lancashire area, which will not only boost staff moral in these uncertain times, but also ensure that those employees that are dusting off old bicycles from their sheds and outhouses are safe out on the roads.
For more information please send us a private message or take a look at our website www.govelo.co.uk

Thank you. Highly recommend Leon. Top job!
Here’s Lily and her Dad David Mortimer talking about gears, something we spend lots of time explaining here at Go Velo.

Thinking about commuting by bike? Here’s some useful information for when the weather turns.
NHS workers - sign up for your FREE basic bike service below:
Joanne Cooper, Critical Care Worker from Blackburn Royal Hospital received her service today and here what she said...
" As a nurse on the front line, I took advantage of the kind Go Velo offer of servicing bikes of NHS workers. The service was extremely easy to book online and local too. James contacted me regarding the service and continued to do so until I dropped my unused bike of 3 years off to him. He was friendly but professional and he had brought my bike back to life within an hour. I would certainly use this service again. I would also recommend it to family and friends. Going out on a bike in these stressful times will be great for anyone’s wellbeing....especially a front line critical care nurse like myself. Well done NHS/Go Velo 👏🏼"
