Pauline Quirkes pops into Ridelow!

Recently, Emmerdale actress Pauline Quirkes has been busy promoting the diet she followed to lose stone's in weight taking her from 20stone down to 13stone.

She insists she is shedding the pounds without any surgical help as she didn’t like the look of ­“liposuction or gastric bands” and since she recently dropped by into the Ridelow Store to pick up Classic Cruiser Bike, we believe shes doing it by herself and will lose the last 2 stone in no time with the help of a Electra Cruiser Bike from us!

Brightons Paddle Round The Pier Event

Last weekend Brighton’s beach front was packed with extreme sports exhibitions, demonstrations and markets all wrapped around two days worth of music enticing those seeking thrills, activities and fun in the sun.

And the Ridelow team were set on their way to the event with a van full of Electra & Shwinn bikes, Volkon clothing, Nixon watches and the perfect accessory to accompany the warmest weekend in the Summer so far; Rayban's and Oakley glasses!

And yes, the van did break down several times out of bad luck but that could only mean things get better and they eventually made their way to Brightons beach front, set up the rather large stall and welcome the sand, sun and a rather large amount of people (which reportedly expected around 50,000 people to show up).

It was the best year Ridelow has had so far as well as the most charitable! Giving away a £350 bike to the Paddle in the Pier charity!

The next event Ridelow are attending is the Bug Jam festival at Santa Pod in Northamptonshire on 22nd-25th July which is celebrating it's 25th year. Bug Jam is said to have Drag Racing, RWYB, 4 Music Arenas, show & Shine, Comedy, Traders, Stunt Displays, Jet Car, Autojumble, Funfair and much, much more, Ridelow hope see you there !

More Happy Customers

We just keep doing it....every time. Customers buy their bikes from Ridelow and we like to photograph them as they ride away to enjoy their purchase. It is always a pleasure to see a happy, smiling face and these two recent visitors to store are no exception. You can even see our master bike technician, Mark, in the background. He builds all of our bikes and puts as much care and attention into making every single one of them just right as he does into looking after his own bike.

First off is George Albion on his brand new Electra Coastal Cruiser. Great Bike George.....and a big beaming smile.

Next, Sharon bought her bike a few days ago and rode in to say hello. Its a magnificent Pashley Britannia Blue and Mark was on hand to see how happy our customers are with their purchase.

With a spanner in hand at all times, Mark looked over the bike, checked out his work, and then had time to pose for a photograph. An excellent choice of bike too, that wicker basket looks cool. All it needs now is a rear rack......and guess what......Mark will fit it for you.

Quirke Goes For Electra

Emmerdale actress, Pauline Quirke, dropped into the shop yesterday to buy an Electra Huli Huli Ladies Cruiser Bike. This classy cruiser bike has been showcased in the shop and often wins the admiration of visitors for its sheer beauty and elegant style. Pauline told us that this is the first bike she has bought for many years and that as the premier stockist of Electra bikes, she had no hesitation in popping over to the shop in central Manchester, taking time out from her busy schedule to nab a bargain. As you can imagine, normal shop life was suspended whilst Pauline was in the shop. She was delighted with her purchase, and we were delighted to meet such a lovely lady. Just look at the smile on Steven's face.
