About Pedal and Chain Bicycle Works
As a lifelong cyclist, commuter and two‑wheel enthusiast, I’ve spent years immersed in the world of bikes — from early road racing to later mountain bike instruction at UK activity centres. Now, as a father to a budding BMX racer, keeping bikes running smoothly is part of everyday life.Pedal & Chain Bicycle Works brings that passion and experience directly to riders across Southampton, Hampshire and The New Forest. I come to you — whether you’re at home, at work or stuck with a mechanical issue mid‑week. If you work long shifts or irregular hours, I also offer out‑of‑hours assistance and can collect or drop off your bike by arrangement.My aim is simple: to keep Hampshire rolling. Book a collection or mobile visit and get your steed out of the stable, safety‑checked, tuned and ready for the miles ahead.
