New Bikebug owners settling in at Falconers Lane


I had to go over to the cycle shop recently with a couple of problems and they were promptly sorted out by David Brownless who introduced me to the couple that will be taking over from him and Alison shortly, that's Steve and Alyson Beales.    


Steve told the Gurn: “We originate from Suffolk in England but have travelled widely and have already spent 15 years living and working in Scotland.


We are lifelong cyclists, both leisure and competitive although now only the former, and have previously owned cycle shops in Wick and Thurso.

Our love of the great outdoors took us to live in Northern Sweden where we could also enjoy cross country skiing, kayaking and a relaxed lifestyle closer to nature.

We have now returned to the best part of the UK and look forward to continuing the fine service and maintaining the excellent reputation which the departing owners David and Alison have built up over their 20 years in Nairn.

We look forward to meeting both new and existing customers and helping them with all their cycling needs.”

I asked Steve for a couple of pictures so gurnites would know who the newcomers are. Best of luck with the shop  Steve, it's a good asset for Nairn and it's nice not to have to travel out of town to get your bike fixed.

Apparently David and Alison are having great fun at the moment doing a stock take.

Steve and Alyson take over first thing Monday morning

"The bicycle is the most civilized conveyance known to man. Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish.Only the bicycle remains pure in heart."

Good luck to Steve & Alyson , and many thanks to David and Alison for keeping the wheels turning for so many years.

Why don't you chew your MP's ears?

Government give £8000 grants for people to buy electric cars. For each electric car they could have given 16 x £500 grants to people to buy electric bikes.

Then you £1000 bike would only be £500 !

An electric car apparently saves on overall emissions over conventional cars but an electric bike instead of a push bike, would increase emissions? Don't think you would get far chewing MPs' ears...

Many of the people I know who own electric bikes use them rather than a car, so set about the ear chewing again......
