🌿🚴‍♂️ **That’s all folks — the end of another great season!** 🚴‍♀️🍂

Today I close the doors for the end of the season, and what a season it’s been! Lots of hires, lovely customers, and so many smiles along the Camel Trail. 😊

With a bit of luck, the hire will reopen in March under new ownership — but for me, this marks the end of an amazing chapter.

Eight years ago, I started this business from nothing — just a handful of bikes in a box, in a car park. It hasn’t been easy (Covid certainly tested that!), but it’s been incredibly rewarding. I’ve built up 5⭐ reviews, grown the fleet, and finally found the perfect hire location.

I’ve worked 7 days a week for months on end, and spent winters with no income — but every ride, every happy customer, and every friendly chat made it worth it. 💚

I couldn’t have done it without the support of my family, friends, and all of you who chose to explore Cornwall with me.

I *might* open for a few days in November if the weather behaves, but otherwise — that’s my last season done.

**Huge thanks to everyone who’s supported me over the years.**

You’ve made this journey unforgettable.
