Wheres the snow then?

Here at Bikegoo HQ we like to tune in on the trusty old wireless to listen to whats going in the wider world. And what do we hear? This morning it was reports of snow everywhere across the UK. Here in Hartfield in East Sussex the sun is shining, its lovely. In fact its one of the most beautiful days we've had since we started business, and certainly not a trace of snow anywhere.

Anyway, whenever snow appears people tend to put their bikes to one side and activity in the bike industry quietens down a little bit.

So I thought I'd take this opportunity to update people on our activities since we last posted on here.

Crank Bros and Ultimate Support come on board
Well, first bit of news is we've included the amazing Crank Brothers Pumps and Multi tools into our range. We've been big fans of theirs for a long while. In fact I have a Multi-19 crank bros tool in my camelbak at the moment. Its been a trusty ally for years. Never let me down.

Add to that the superb Ultimate Support workstands. These are pretty much the finest workstands money can buy. And a large amount of people agree with us. They are the workstand of choice for Shimano... need we say more! We've got a range of their stands available now so please check them out.

Moore Large trade event
Moore Large (UK distributors of brands like Weldtite, Slime, Kenda, Michelin and loads more) had a trade event last weekend at their HQ in Derby. I wandered down there to see what was going on. It was all a bit quiet but we got a chance to see a few new items that tickled our fancy (including the new range of zefal mini and track pumps). The event signalled the opening of Moore Large's long awaited new webpage that will go live very soon!

What else have we been up to? Well we're still putting together our plans for 24 hour events over the summer months where bikegoo will be in attendance. But we're getting there... More to follow.

And finally for now, if anyone hasn't seen it the amazing BBC Adventure Show with all the coverage of the Strathpuffer (with a couple of shots of the Bikegoo team steaming round) have a quick look on BBC Iplayer. You've only got 5 more days mind before its removed so you'll have to be quick!

All the best! And we'll post some more juicy info soon!
