Big news, big news everybody....
If I were Cliff Richard in Summer Holiday right now I'd be singing that irritating "Have You Heard The News" song. I know some of our bestest customers love musicals....... :)
Here at Oxford Cycle Workshop we never fancy standing still much, and now that the students are all suited and booted for the current Academic year we have been working hard to extend what we offer to you folks, and what we have is a product as yet unavailable in Oxford, made in Northern Spain in a fellow Worker's Cooperative.
We think Orbea bikes are flippin hot this year and we've got 'em :) The first bikes will be hitting the shop next week.

Sooo if you're curious check out their web site at: www.orbea.com or drop by and pick up a catalogue !!

MEMBERS NIGHTS
Members night are an opportuntiy for our members to come and use the workshop in an environment free from the chaos of the day to day runnings of our little workshop. They will take place on Tuesday nights between 6.30 and 9pm from March 27th. Our staff will be on hand to give you a helping hand where required.

Oxford Cycle Workshop is a bike shop and workshop space with an environmental and a social consience. We are an organisation that recycles bikes destined for landfill and offers them as a sustainable, green transport solution to our local community. 2007 will be the year when we undergo the changes necessary to become a fully fledged workers co-operative.

We will continue to offer membership: with wide ranging benefits including workshop tuition, discount rates and regular social events, though due to the changing landscape that comes with a change of control, we are hard at work making you an unbeatable new membership package.
