How to book - OPENS 18/02/2018!!!
Please note that you are not buying the bikes, you are booking a time slot to ride that specific bike FREE. However, you can talk to us on the day if you want to buy one of our demo bikes, of course they will be at a discounted price, due to being demo’d.
Still not sure how to go about booking; just give us a call and we'll help 01228 792497.
What we suggest you bring with you on the demo day:
- Yourself.
- Identification (Drivers License/Passport): This is essential, no ID, no riding shiny bikes. We also ask you to complete a British Cycling Form as the event is registered with British Cycling and the Forestry Commission.
- Appropriate Clothing: It may be wet, it may be dry, we don’t know, it is the Borders after all.
- Your own pedal and shoes (if you want to try bikes with your own cycling footwear) otherwise standard flat pedals will be on all bikes.
- Your own cycling gear: A helmet, we wont give you a bike without one. Also, we won’t have enough multi-tools and puncture repair kits to go round, we will help out where we can but otherwise bring your own.
- You will have to fill in a few forms on the day, so bring your writing hands as well
- A Parent. If you are under 16, you will need parental consent to ride.
So if you have any questions or know which bikes you would like to Demo and what time slot you would like, please do not hesitate to call us on 01228 792497 or email us on info@bikeseven.co.uk.
