We've teamed up with Planet X bikes & Snugg wetsuits to offer you our Travelite Training concept. In an effort to take the hassle out of travelling with bulky luggage, incurring extra - dare we say hidden - charges, the worry of damage to your prized possessions or the uncertainty of whether or not your bike will arrive at the same time & place as you do, we can now offer a cycle & wetsuit hire service second to none. We have the latest 2010 range of Snugg Slipstream wetsuits and PlanetX triathlon, road & sportive bikes; a full range of sizes and in the case of the bikes kitted out to the highest standard with Dura-Ace & SRAM Red components. All you need to do is bring your bike shoes & pedals. Numbers are limited, but we aim to provide the closest possible fit to perfect as possible.
