Homebuilder Taylor Wimpey is giving away vouchers redeemable against bicycles to residents at a housing development at Crown Fields, Saighton, near Chester, in an initiative designed to get families there cycling.
Launched in partnership with local cycle shop the Bike Factory, the vouchers, worth £170, can be redeemed against a Barossa Havana bicycle, which costs the convenient sum of £169.99, or can be used as part payment towards a more expensive bike.
Elaine Smith, regional sales manager for Taylor Wimpey North West, explained the reasons behind the promotion: “Cycling is a fun form of exercise that the whole family can enjoy! Not only does it allow cyclists to get healthy by having fun, it also offers residents at Crown Fields the ideal opportunity to meet their neighbours by forming cycling groups to explore Saighton’s picturesque countryside.”
She continued: “Cyclists can enjoy the rural lanes surrounding Crown Fields while soaking up the picturesque views before stopping to rest with a refreshing drink at one of the country pubs nearby. This scheme is sure to have residents at the development jumping on their bikes and making the most of the summer months while working towards a healthier lifestyle together.”
Dave Quinn, managing director of The Bike Factory,which is also giving a 15% discount off a range of cycling accessories before 23rd June to people using their vouchers, added: “As well as being an entertaining and enjoyable way of improving your health, cycling is an eco-friendly way of getting around. Not only does it reduce residents’ carbon footprints but it also saves money as bikes are free to use. These are just a few of the reasons why we are happy to support Taylor Wimpey’s bike initiative.”
The price of the four- and five-bedroomed homes currently available at the development, which Taylor Wimpey says provides easy access to Cheshire city centre, start at £459,950.
Thanks for that, I hadn't realised 🙄
Are those paramilitary types who go around fining tourists for littering also responsible for other civil matters? Like, say, pavement parking and...
I was interested in getting one until the final sentence!
Surely it's a pig's bladder?
Or just Vengeance?
I like the look of the Chronos for Road bike TT but they don't seem to offer a Campag compatible hub, unless I'm mistaken?
Don't tow cows (or dogs) while riding your bike. And keep your cow on a short leash when walking it on a shared path.
That's literally just 'riding with toe clips' (which I've been doing for decades and have only recently started dipping a toe (?) into flat 😀...
Think she did some kind of check, not sure... the problem is that this junction is effectively a fall-back to the standard UK "cycle infra gives up...
