A BIKE rack firm has reported a surge in tricycle rack sales amid National Bike Week.
The week runs from May 30 to June 5 with Nelson based Pendle Bike Racks reporting the people of all age and abilities have flocked to buying trike bike racks, with the three wheeled option proving increasingly popular.
Pendle Bike Racks managing director Chris Smith believes that trikes are particularly popular with newer, what he calls 'born again', cyclists who are using them to overcome impaired balance or physical limitations that can make cycling on two wheels more difficult.
He said: “We’re delighted that Britain’s love affair with cycling is showing no signs of slowing after lockdown. Whatever their age or existing medical conditions, it’s heart-warming to see our customers reaping the physical and mental health benefits that cycling offers.
