United Learning’s ‘Ride ABC' Sports Relief
Cycle Tech UK • February 7, 2018
Mechanical support for every leg for Shaun Dowling and Bruce Wilson on a 600 mile journey.
Cycle Tech UK co-operative of bicycle mechanics are
very proud to be supporting this very worthwhile cause by providing mechanical support for every leg for Shaun Dowling and Bruce Wilson on a 600 mile
journey. Starting in Ashford to Bournemouth to Carlisle.
United Learning is extremely grateful to Cycle Tech UK, the largest co-operative of mobile bike repair specialists, who are supporting throughout the ride and providing mechanical support for this project.
Whether you're a newly qualified bicycle mechanic or have recently set up your own workshop, this is your chance to boost your confidence, refresh your knowledge, and gain real-world insights alongside an experienced Cycle Technician.
And What Comes Next? 'Lifecycle aftercare' Added Value — More Than Just a Repair
As independent mobile mechanics, we have something valuable to offer that goes beyond fixing a bike.
The bicycle was one of the last affordable forms of transport that ordinary people could maintain and repair themselves. We need to recognise what's happening in the bike trade and be honest about the forces driving it.
The jobs that keep our communities moving, provide a valuable service and require real skills don't always pay what there worth.
You buy a bike or an e-bike, and you expect the service to go with it.
But who is going to look after it?
That may be one of the biggest questions facing cycling over the next few years.
A Bike Business for All Walks of Life.
At Cycle Tech UK, we've created a platform that helps independent cycle technicians get found by customers and generate work in their local area.
We are here for greater things. Cycling is not about money, it’s having a proper interest in
life. Being fixated on making wealth is what will kill your bike business fast.
A reflection on 2025 — a positive year for the cycling season, quality bike repairs, e-Bike servicing, and the strength of local cycling communities across the UK.
Over time I’ve seen more walkers, which is ok - good for your health requiring only a pair of walking boots and that's about it. But where are the cyclists? Or should I say the increase in cycling numbers, especially with e-bikes?
The key to successful business; to deliver above and beyond customers expectations. We know this as aftercare. Our network established itself by offering a premium personal service. The delivery of this means CTUK is known for excellent values and customer service, including the industry standard and ‘M-Check’ - Going the extra mile.
