Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring

September 1, 2026

The winter blues are nearly behind us, and what better way to welcome spring than by dusting off our bikes and getting back on the road! Yes, whilst I can give some of you a pat on the back for sticking it out during the grueling cold spells of winter, some of us have not been as…diligent in getting out there.

Well, it’s time to reset, refresh and restart. Spring is the perfect excuse to get back on the saddle, shake off the winter cobwebs and remind ourselves why we love riding in the first place. You don’t have to jump straight back into 50km rides or chase your old personal bests. Start small, find your rhythm and let the warmer days do the rest.

Whether you’re getting back into training, planning your next weekend adventure, or simply looking for an excuse to ride somewhere you haven’t been before, there’s no better time to get moving. The days are getting longer, the weather is getting friendlier, and the roads are calling.

So, consider this your official spring riding reset. Pump up those tyres, dust off the kit and let’s get back out there!

Here at Action Cycles, we’re here to support you every step of the way when it comes to getting back on the bike. From bike fits and bike fixes to kits, equipment and accessories, we’ve got you covered. Whatever your cycling needs may be, we’re here to help you get back out there feeling confident, comfortable and ready to ride.

Looking for a morning ride group? We can point you in the right direction.

Need to give your bike some TLC before hitting the road again? Our workshop has got you covered.

And if you’re looking for a delicious breakfast bun and a good cup of coffee at an affordable price? Look no further than The Grind!

Whether you’re getting back into the saddle, gearing up for your next big ride, or simply looking for a reason to get out and ride, we’re here for you.

In other news, our lovely ladies got together to celebrate Women’s Day with a belated Women’s Day Ride last month! Organised by our wonderful Meg Sansom, the ride brought together a great group of women who enjoyed a morning of riding, chatting and having fun together.

After the ride, everyone settled in for some well-deserved coffee and breakfast buns, followed by a lucky draw for those who took part in the ride. It was a lovely morning filled with good company, good food and, of course, plenty of bikes!
