*********Learn2Ride at the Abbey***********

Working with Delapré Abbey it occurred to us that Santa's little stocking filler with two wheels maybe a bit tricky for its new owner to get to grips with.

Good News!! we are running Learn2Ride sessions at the Abbey on 2nd and 3rd of January, with all the usual discounts to the cafe in place.

We will also be on hand to ensure bike and rider fit perfectly, so don't miss out, book on the link below

*****Access2Bikes Schools Programme******

If your children are lucky enough to be trading up this Christmas with a new bike, please think of us.

We are desperate for 18" and 20" bikes that we can refurbish and get to kids via their school, who nominate the kids based on greatest need.

Your child's Christmas present could be the gift that keeps on giving, if we can get their old one to a child, who otherwise would not own a bike.

We can collect if within a 5 mile radius of the Abbey

*******Christmas Workshop Hours*******

This year we will be closing at 13:00 on Wednesday 24th December and reopening at 10:00 on Friday 2nd January 2026.

Could we take the opportunity to thank all of our customers that supported us through 2025 and wish all a prosperous and happy new year

As we near the end of this year I'd like to highlight what DDelapré Abbeyand Freeride coaching and ourselves have achieved with recycled bikes and getting kids riding bikes.
Within the grounds of the Abbey over 150 children that could not ride a bike now can through the Learn2Ride scheme, this is an amazing lifeskill that these young people now have. Does this mean that more children were taught to ride a bike than any other venue in the county?
In addition, through our Access2Bikes scheme we have gifted 63 bikes + new helmets to Primary School children. While we are at the schools we also provide a skills coaching session.
We have also continued our work with the Childrens Trust in Northampton delivering 54 bikes to young people coming out of care system and needing transport to volunteering opportunities, job interviews and places of work.
A lot of lives positively impacted at very little cost.
The Access2Bikes scheme is only possible with the the support we have received particularly from Cummins Europe in Daventry and Cushing at WWest Northamptonshire Counciland anyone that donates a bike, for which we, and the kids are most grateful

******Early Closing Notice******
