It's really quite simple. Try before you buy!
Some shops allow you to test ride a bike around the block. If that’s all you want to do, that’s fine.
We encourage you to spend more time with the bike you’re considering, exploring the beautiful countryside around the Ironbridge Gorge. This allows you to make a well-informed decision about what suits you best.
How it works.
When you book your Ride Before You Buy in advance, we can discuss which bikes you’d like to try. Although we might not have bikes in all sizes, we should have something suitable for you. The time allowed for your Ride Before You Buy is up to 2 hours and we make no charge for this other than the deposit details below.
Please understand this is not a hire service.
Should you choose to buy a bike of similar value, we will refund your entire test ride fee when you place your order.
