COVID19 \u2013 SITUATION UPDATE FOR CHRIS\u2019S CYCLES 2026
\n<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS IF YOU INTEND TO VISIT<\/span>
\n<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

We have taken the decision to carry on with Covid precautions \/ restrictions so we would ask all visitors to adhere to these requirements in the interest of everyone’s safety. We will still be wearing masks due to health concerns \/ medical conditions and being in a vulnerable category that requires ongoing shielding, so we would prefer that visitors do likewise, or as a minimum maintaining suitable social distancing.<\/p>\n

NO CASUAL VISITORS PLEASE, WE STILL PREFER TO OPERATE ON BOOKED APPOINTMENTS
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Please phone before visiting so we can give you a day and time. It is important that you try and stick to the time given as we can only deal with one visitor at a time. Please arrive as close as possible to the time given.<\/strong> If you arrive early or late and there is already someone here, please wait in your vehicle until you are called. If you cannot make the time given, let us know and we will need to\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 re-book the appointment for another time. NB – if you have any of the symptoms of the virus please do not visit!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Service or repairs<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Please ensure the bikes (or parts) for service\/repair are CLEAN <\/strong>(dirty bikes or parts caked in oil, mud….or worse\u2026.. will be rejected). You will also need to remove any luggage or personal items from the bike<\/strong> before dropping off.<\/li>\n
  2. Drop the bikes\/parts off at the pre-arranged time and hand them over or leave them in the metal bicycle rack by the trailer. Please DO NOT enter any buildings. We would prefer than only one person is out of the vehicle and please do not allow children or pets to run around.
    \n<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Leave a note securely attached to the bike (unless those details have already been taken) explaining exactly<\/em> what needs doing (with your name and contact details). If you require a quote before work is done, let us know.<\/li>\n
  4. Bikes or parts will be handled with clean disposable gloves at all times whilst with us.<\/li>\n
  5. When work is completed, payment will be required before collection \u2013 either by cash or bank transfer (we will text you bank details if required). Please phone and let us know when you have done this so we can confirm receipt of funds before releasing bikes. If you want to pay with cash on collection that is quite acceptable. Sorry but we are unable to process card payments and we do not accept cheques.<\/li>\n
  6. The bikes\/parts can collected at a pre-arranged time. Again, please stick as close as possible to the time given. We may not come out to you when bikes are dropped off or collected, in accordance with our social distancing policy, but if you need to speak to us, we will do so.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Bike Sales<\/u><\/h4>\n

    As we do not have a showroom or inside viewing area, there is no access possible into buildings, so you will need to select bikes from our website that you wish to view\/ride and let us know what they are, then an appointment can be made to come and visit (on a dry day preferably as we will be outside). If you arrive without an appointment but know which bike(s) you want to see and there is nobody else booked in, we will try to accommodate you. Please note that if it is wet on the ground or raining, test rides will not be possible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    This may not be ideal, but we regret that it is the only way we can operate safely at the moment, so please bear with us.<\/p>\n

    WE ONLY ACCEPT PAYMENT BY CASH OR BANK TRANSFER, SORRY NO CARDS OR CHEQUES<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
