Our full list of servicing, repair and fitting options is shown above, along with the prices for
each. 2) the existing retail car park is presumably manageable for the highways when working at capacity, so will not be worse when Brompton are using it. 28,000 parking spaces and you have to take a taxi from the nearest hotel as you can’t walk. I don’t hear many people complaining about the frankly kent bayside cruiser awful state of our pavements, road crossings and the fact that in so many areas you cannot get a wheelchair/pushchain along the pavement because people have parked their cars so far onto them. Eg for employees they could be allowed to park but charged each time they do, perhaps with premium prices if they do it a lot. If they car share it should be priced to be reasonable if there’s 3 or more.
Pack extra water and a sandwich in case things go right and you’re having
too much damn fun to head home. The Kentfield is under Marin’s hybrid category in their flat-bar group of bikes. They describe it as a “retro-modern, stylish, yet affordable bike that can do it all, the new Kentfield is ready to take you to school, the bike path, or through the back alleys to B-line to a coffee date.” We provide three service packages to suit all types of cyclists. If you’ve enjoyed this article, then please consider subscribing to road.cc from as little as £1.99. Our mission is to bring you all the news that’s relevant to you as a cyclist, independent reviews, impartial buying advice and more.
This enables us to give you updates as your job flows through the repair process and notify you of updates, if we need to speak with you and confirming when your bike is ready to collect. We will also confirm if the extra work can be completed straight away or if the bike needs to be booked back e.g. sometimes we need to ensure one of our trained mechanics is in place and / or order in the required parts. If they recommend safety repairs or servicing they will give kent electric bike you a no obligation estimate for the cost. If it was other way around and only a token effort to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists, this would have been approved ages ago. I speak as someone who worked on a business park where the cycle lane was only ever used to park cars in, and nothing was ever done to stop this. A new build estate near us has a cycle lane and pedestrian lane on the pavement and shock shock horror, the bike lane is just used as parking.
There are mounts for bottle cages, mudguards and a kickstand – all you could possible need to attach to the bike. This makes it even more practical and ready for comfortable dry riding. The brakes a mechanical disc brakes which work absolutely fine. My only concern would be the ability for the average at-home mechanic to service and fix these should they go wrong, or to perform some basic maintenance along the way.
If I were advising them, I’d be looking to give them the evidence to allay concerns about the network, while highlighting a clear narrative about any car-centric biases within the planning system. It was Kent County Council’s highways department that said they must make provision for people who have no choice but to drive. Ive stayed in that hotel and while its odd, you definitely wont want to leave on foot. On game days though they provide shuttles etc. so its no different to a park and ride, only you can sleep and eat there too. “There has been a global realisation post-pandemic that we need to change how we live in our cities, to design them around the people that live in them, not the automobile. Brompton has a large part to play in supporting that transition, but we need to have more space to innovate and create the products of the future.
It’s an example of planning and masterplanning failure, in a society that has designed out non-motor vehicle options. I swear that most people who cry “won’t you think of disabled people” are the very last people who actually think or care about disabled people. Its just a really nice way to take the moral high ground when they don’t want something to happen. I have parking challenges for work etc. I generally think it needs to be priced to allow when “needed” but to discourage.
We also cover all other components on the bike for 1 year unless the
manufacturer states otherwise. You will not be charged labour for the fitting of a part
which has been approved under our Guarantee. I can think of quite a few businesses in industrial parks with access only by roads that are unsafe for cyclists, have no sidewalks for pedestrians, and very poor access by public transport yet nobody bats an eye. I get the arguments around illegal parking etc, but that can be fixed by enforcing rules about illegal parking. If an employer doesn’t want to use the finite space on its premises for (non-disabled) car parking, I don’t see that’s any business of a state agency.
Yes, although our bike mechanics may not be able to see you straight away if they’re got
other appointments booked in. We’d therefore recommend booking an appointment online
first. The full details of each level of service are shown in section 2 above, and we offer bundles which
include adding Puncture Protection to your wheels which can offer great value. We can all think of plenty of locations that do not consider those who have ‘no choice’ but to cycle or walk.
If you wish to have any work completed we will be book you in at the earliest available opportunity, but this may not be the same-day. Yes, however we are unable to work on any non-Halfords electric bike where we need to complete electrical work, as this is due to access to spare parts and often voiding the manufactures warranty. We can still complete mechanical work on non-Halfords electric bikes. I hope that they have really switched-on transport consultants on board, who can help resolve the outstanding concerns.
