IT WILL no longer be difficult to get a bike repaired in Chandler s Ford and the surrounding areas. Residents have endured lengthy journeys and long wait times when trying to get their bikes fixed following the closures of Peter Hansford, The Bike Centre and Cycle World. But local entrepreneurs Will, Matt and Emily recognised the difficulties this caused cyclists, and set up Wessex Bike Repairs to get people quickly back on their wheels. They said: It’s not unusual to be told there is a wait time of 4, 6 or even 10 weeks to get your bike looked at in other workshops. We know that people rely on their bikes to get to work or to keep fit. So we set up our business with a focus of getting people back out there as soon as possible’ said Will Rayden, from their facility on Bournemouth Road, Chandler’s Ford.

Traveller Letters, March 20) I don t think it would worry me if I lost my Qantas frequent flyer membership card. These days I earn FF points in many ways and places such as credit card purchases, transactions at service stations, pharmacies, non-card financial services and even a health app just for walking day in, day out.
I know where my card is, however, I can t recall when I last had to produce it. There s an image of it on my phone if really needed. The days of having to produce a plastic card are fading fast.
