Howard invites you to “Share your cycling journey with us.”
Based at Ken Hill Farm, this new independent bike repair and cycle shop can be found just off the main road between Heacham and Snettisham.
Previously with Fatbirds and Pedal Revolution, Howard Cholerton’s business is the first to open at the site that has glorious views across poppy filled fields that are currently under conversion to organic land.
His plans include outdoor seating areas for cyclists and shoppers and a shop with a range of clothes, accessories, parts, tools and gifts. Howard says: “We will be stocking a range of grit, road, hybrid, mountain, electric and kid bikes as supply chains recover, due to Covid-19.
“Our mission is to make cycling better and more enjoyable for all people who use bicycles, regardless of what bike they ride and how much knowledge they have so don't be afraid to step inside.”
Additionally the business is offering a fixed price collection and drop-off service for any repairs operating within a five mile radius of the base with appointments available between 8am-10am and 5pm-6pm.
The website has full details of pricing: https://www.openskycycles.co.uk/
