Home of the Chester Fabulous Ladies cycling club. Meet one Saturday morning a month for easy cycle ride. We will always wait for riders, and may have a few different levels of ride available. Photos and opinions are usually my own, but photos taken by others are sometimes shared with their permission.

How to fix a puncture and other useful tips
Informative blog entry - Spokeswoman
Cyclescheme is a website for people who have acquired their bike through work, with a tax free agreement. They have some helpful tips, such as how to fix a puncture and changing an inner tube.
Chester Fabulous Ladies in conjunction with Harlequin, a Chester University based student outfit, compiled a film on how to fix a puncture - or rather change your tube. It does use the front wheel,but a back is not much harder once you have disentangled the gears and chain!
Unfortunately, it seems to have been removed from 'Vimeo' :-(
Also,specialized have a rather whizzy film- How to fix a flat tyre
They also have two other information videos -
How to lube your chain (oil in this country!)
How to fix your dropped chain (ie if your chain jumps off)
Please let me know if you come across other useful tips and links, and I can add them to this page.

I have lived in Chester all my life, and cycled here for over 25 years. It goes someway to explaining how I know my way locally without referring to a map all the time, a fact which amazes my ladies. There is a wealth of accessible lanes, tracks and routes within 10 miles of Chester, easily reached in a mornings ride. Not to mention more cafe's than you can shake a bicycle pump at! That is what the fabulous ladies is all about!
Oh, and cake!
