BIKE DOCTOR RIDES AGAIN 20.08.09
THE
PMB BIKE DOCTOR WAS A GREAT SUCCESS AT THE UMBRELLA FAIR
LAST WEEKEND. CHRIS
AND GINGE
WERE INUNDATED WITH BROKEN BIKES FROM 11AM ALL THE WAY
THROUGH TO 6PM! KAISER'S
TALL
BIKE TRAINING WAS ALSO A BIG HIT WITH THE CROWDS,
EVEN GETTING THE LEADER OF THE LOCAL COUNCIL TO GIVE IT
A WHIRL. |
THE BOYS HAVE BEEN ASKED TO SET UP STALL AGAIN THIS WEEKEND,
THIS TIME AT THE NORTHAMPTON TOWN SHOW AT DELAPRE.
THEY'LL BE THERE FROM MIDDAY ON BOTH THE SATURDAY AND
THE SUNDAY, SO IF YOUR BIKE NEEDS A BIT OF TLC, OR YOU'D
LIKE TO HAVE A GO ON A TALL BIKE, COME DOWN TO THE SHOW! |
IF YOU'D LIKE THE PMB TEAM TO COME TO YOUR EVENT, WHETHER
IT'S IN FULL ON BIKE PIMPING CAPACITY,
BIKE DOCTOR, OR JUST LETTING PEOPLE RIDE CUSTOM AND TALL
BIKES, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH. |
