Winners Time!

Well it's been a busy few months at Freewheelin HQ and it's getting busier, with phase 2 of updating the shop soon to take place. More on that soon. Meantime Summer's here, time to get riding!

The Tour de France has just finished it's 2 week tour and you may have possibly heard our very own Bradley Wiggins took a historic first place!! GB's whole team did an incredible job: get over to team sky.com to read interviews, see photos and watch vids all about it.

And now the Olympic Games are kicking off, hopefully inspiring even more of us Brits into sports, particularly cycling: There's categories like Road (120km through Surrey, 4 Royal parks and 6 London Boroughs, with time-trials at Hampton Court), Track (in the awesome new Velodrome), Mountainbike (on the bespoke course at Hadleigh Farm, Essex), and BMX: one of the highlights of Beijing '08.

 And just check out the London bmx track!  :-O



Yes we're looking forward to some great wheeled action... Good luck to all our athletes :)

If you're interested in all the events going on, check out the official site of London 2012, and some of it may just be on the telly too, so watch it, get inspired, come down to freewheelin' and get on yer bike!

Woodland Downhill

Here at Freewheelin' we love the multiple purposes of the humble bicycle. The practical, getting to work and keeping fit side, pushing yourself with endurance on the roads, as well as the escapist fun of playing in the woods or skatepark. There's always the right tool for the job, whatever you want to do.

If you're into your downhilling or just want to be inspired by some beautiful footage of tearing it up in the woods, check out this cracking vid...

We're lucky to have great local riding trails in the beech woods surrounding High Wycombe, or you can get the full bikepark experience at places like Aston Hill and Chick Sands, both within half hour of Wycombe. Lucky us.

 This time of year is great in the woods; getting muddy is just good for the soul :)
Enjoy the vid.
