We're now closed for the Christmas break - we'll re-open on the 2nd January. Please feel free to continue to place orders via the online shop but please note we won't be able to process any orders until the new year.

Pumphaus fest
Leicester organisation Cyclemagic have posted details of their latest festival on Facebook. 'Pumphaus Fest' will be music and cycling, and they say "The festival will be the first in Europe to be almost entirely pedal powered, including the music stages and cinema.
