What's Different About Walkers Cycling?

We ride bikes - racing bikes, mountain bikes, touring bikes. Between us we've done most kinds of cycling and we love it!

We Understand Cycling

Bike Sales:
We stock new bicycles by Bumper, Claud Butler, Cove, CUBE, Dawes, Falcon, Giant, Haro, Marin and Massi.

All new bikes sold by Walkers are fully assembled, given a 21-point safety and adjustment check by experienced mechanics and qualify for a free service after around 4 to 6 weeks of use.

We also have a small selection of reconditioned bikes. Please call for details as these bikes are not normally on display in our shop.

Servicing & Repairs:
From puncture repairs to complete rebuilds - trust our Weldtech Platinum qualified mechanics to care for your bike as if it were our own.

Parts & Accessories:
All the extras that make cycling safer and more enjoyable. From spare tubes to tool kits, from helmets to waterproof socks, we've got cycling covered.

Training & Tuition:
Our qualified instructors can teach cycling skills - from beginners (aged 7 or over - no upper limit!) to commuting or off-road skills. One-to-One lessons, group sessions and after school clubs can be arranged.

Bike Hire:
We have adults' and childrens' mountain bikes and tandems available for group or individual hire at competitive daily or weekly rates.

Corporate Days Out:
A different sort of 'away day' - we can provide transport, bikes, leaders - everything you need to give your team an away day they will remember.

Event Management:
This is where Walkers Cycling started - we can plan, organise and administer your cycling event. From an international race to a local charity ride - we have the experience to make sure everything is taken care of.

Consultancy:
We provide a comprehensive consultancy service to private and public sector organisations. With our knowledge of relevant legislation, funding sources and best practice we can help - whether you're an employer introducing a cycling-friendly policy or a local authority developing a network of cycle routes.

Train and Race in Virtual Reality with Tacx


Walkers Cycling is an accredited Tacx Test Centre

Above: the Tacx i-Magic Trainer

It used to be that if you couldn't get out on the bike, for whatever reason, you had two choices - skip training and let your schedule slip, or take 'the road to nowhere' on a stationary home trainer.

Well, wave goodbye to 'turbo trainer boredom'! Home training has been brought up-to-date with the Virtual Reality (VR) training system from Tacx.

Tacx has long been known as the name in stationary trainers but the Tacx Virtual Reality system takes the concept to an entirely new level.

In Tacx VR worlds you can be a 'trackie' in a virtual velodrome or go off-road in cross country or downhill MTB. Fancy road racing in the Milan - San Remo or Tour of Flanders? You can with Tacx Real Life Video.*

There are three Tacx VR trainers in the range - choose from the Fortius Multiplayer, Fortius and i-Magic - which differ in colour, software interface, braking system and price.

Load the Tacx VR software on your computer, connect it to your Tacx VR trainer - and you can experience the magic of cycling in virtual worlds. **

The basic software for the three trainers is identical and comprises:
  • 3 Virtual Reality terrains with computer animated images. Real Life Video software with a 6km demo of the Majorca Tour. Catalyst training programmes aimed at power, heart rate and gradient which you use to conduct professional fitness testing. Analyzer software to display training sessions you have carried out with charts and tables.
  • 4 free weeks of Fortius Multiplayer software (online web racing)
Above: fans cheer as you lead the Amstel Gold road race
We can't really do justice to this amazing system in the space available here so, to find out more, visit the Tacx Virtual Reality web site or come on down to the shop where you can try our i-Magic demo system.

We also stock Tacx trainer accessories including the floor mat, steering frame, sweat covers, and hard wearing trainer tyres.


See other Tacx products at: www.tacx.com

* A Real Life Video demo is included with the basic software. Over 20 other titles are available to purchase on dual layer DVD.
** Windows PCs only. See recommended system resources on the
Tacx VR web site.
