What our customers say.....

'Fantastically organised holiday. Everything is taken care of (including bike transport) and its great value. Huge mix of cycling abilities and there is no regimented plan which allows everyone fully enjoy the cycling. Richard, Andy and Caroline were very accommodating and nothing was too much hassle, food is of great quality and plentiful, accommodation is super. I would highly recommend and will be going next year.' PM

'I've twice travelled to the Pyrenees with the Cycling Brakes , both times stayed at Les Dix Arches. I cannot recommend this trip enough, having travelled extensively with my bike the idea of dropping at the shop and being reunited in France is genius. Andy and Caroline of both times looked after us tremendously. Cycling is great with something for everyone from a quite bimble to epic days, I've done both. Get booked on, you won’t regret it.' SH

'Overall the trip was excellent value for money, superb cycling and great fun and I would recommend to anybody.'
PA

"As an (old) first-timer, I was a little apprehensive but was immediately included within the group and received lots of encouragement. I said at the time I have not had so many laughs in a week for a long time. I hope to be back."ES

'Would I recommend?......YES, the way Cycling Brakes do it, it’s a must do trip for all cyclists.' IR
