Friends of Restrap, Dirk and Linda, had promised to divert from their most recent tour down the east coast of the UK – between Newcastle and London – and pop in to see us. It was a bit of a surprise when they showed up at the factory a week earlier than planned.
Dirk had crashed near Middlesborough and snapped his derailleur. The pair diverted off route to get his bike repaired at Restrap dealer, Woodrup Cycles – a Leeds institution. Fortunately, there was no other damage to bike or rider and the pair were able to rejoin their route after a couple of days of exploring our home city.
The pair have shared these lovely photos of their trip. If you would like to follow their future adventures, check out their website and instagram.
