Ride Before you Buy: Pretoria
Don't miss our next extremely popular Ride Before you Buy event.
Come and test a wide range of mountain bikes at our next Ride Before you Buy event in Pretoria.
We all know buying a new bike is an expensive business. These events are a great way to test ride your next bike, and make 100% sure it's the one you want before you buy it.
Even if you are not in the market for a new bike, why not just come and take a look (read: drool) at what new bikes are on the market. You can really put the bikes to the test and ride as many as you like all day on our specially marked out trail, designed with a bit of everything to give you a good idea of how the bikes handle on the different terrain.

Hi guys,

When is the next event taking place?
When you say pedals, what do you mean - do i have to get those sepately at a bike shop? - I'm a complete novice.
Why do the suppliers not offer this brilliant idea for road bikes as well?
