Why Beardyman Bike Repairs?

Two reasons, firstly I have a beard, but the main reason I have called my business Beardyman Bike Repairs is because when competing in a 24-hour cycling event at Le Mans in France a spectator every time I cycled past the Dunlop Bridge shouted “Hey Beardyman”, fair enough I have a beard, but the name stuck as the next day in a supermarket about 40 miles away a young man at the checkout who had also been competing at the event said, “Hello Beardyman”.

​

Why do I repair bikes?

I like my bikes and I like them to run right so have maintained my own bikes for a long time. This has led to many a request to help to sort other people’s bikes out, so I decided that I was going to take the plunge and gain a qualification and set up a business repairing bikes. I trained and attained a level 3 diploma in Bike Mechanics at The Bike Inn, Cumbria. So after running a Carpentry business for over 30 years I have now turned my passion into my profession.

​

So, what is my aim?

To offer a fast-friendly bike repair service and to get as many bikes out and about running safely and smoothly. Old bikes, new bikes any type of bike! No work is undertaken without discussion and your approval. All prices are quoted prior to work starting so you know what your getting and what it is going to cost.
