Cyclists in Chorley have one last chance to give their bikes a service before the winter. If a bike is a bit poorly they can call on the Chorley bike doctor for a free expert diagnosis.
The surgery was due to close for the winter season in September, however, due to its popularity, an extra date has been added and the last one this year will be on Tuesday, October 20.
The surgery especially for bikes is held on Chorley’s Flat Iron market on the third Tuesday of each month for people to take their wheels for a free health check.
Adjustments and minor repairs can be made on site to ensure a bike is fit for the road. More serious ailments are referred on for specialist treatment.
The Bike Doctor, run by the Chorley and South Ribble-based Out and About Project, has been a huge success since being launched last summer. After the last date this month it will be taking a break for the winter but the service will resume next summer.
The Big Lottery-funded Out and About Project is part of the national charity Cycling Projects, which aims to get people of all ages and abilities onto their bikes.
The Bike Doctor also promotes all the other activities the project does, including led cycle rides and led walks throughout Chorley and South Ribble, and bike training for adults at Tatton Rec. There is also a range of maps for people showing on-road and off-road cycling routes in the area.
The Out and About Project is about to launch its winter programme of activities, for more details telephone 01772 643182.

Radar tells me their closing speed, if they are slowing and how far away. Then I decide to say a prayer. The change of light pattern is incidental.
Quite so, which is why our village 20mph zone covers the whole residential extent. Of course, enforcement is another thing..

No, that's very doubtful while proper testing would be fully destructive.

The relatives might of course disagree, but in general I'd countenance a relatively light sentence* if only we could fix it so that those who...
Id forgotten that I got a second hand set of project two's for my getting to work bike over twenty years back.
My bet is that all these tires popping off are from people with bad pressure gauges or they're simply just putting too much air in on purpose. ...
