Cycling Steps Up a Notch in Cheddar
For some years Cycle Hire in Cheddar died, and yet it can be the nicest , dan greenest, way to see the area. Of course we freely loan a pair of sturdy bikes to guests, but these are only really good for flatter routes such as the Strawberry Line.
But now a wonderful new option has arrived with Cheddar Bikes (https://www.cheddarbikes.co.uk) launching at the beginning of the year. They hire a good range of mountain bikes, but more exciting is the news that they hire e-bikes too. This means that the less-than-fit can cycle longer and up and down the Mendips, with now worries about running out of puff.
This now means you can get to Weston-Super-Mare (or the coast at Brean) and back on a single charge. You can cycle to and from Wells and visit the cathedral. Or across the Somerset Levels to Glastonbury. Going up the steep Gorge road is a doddle. And if you want to go off-road they have e-bikes for that too.
And if you are bringing your own bike but need some maintenance then they have a bicycle workshop to fix you up.
Lots of information and inspiring stuff to be found on their page and blog https://www.facebook.com/cheddarbikes.
