Blanca Bikes now have a cafe, workshop and rental centre in Parcent. I've been to the cafe a couple of times and the food is excellent as is the coffee.
I was there again today and arrived in need of help as I had just crashed off my bike and was bleeding, sore, and with a rather broken bike.
The staff were phenomenal, I didn't need to ask for help, they came to the rescue as soon as they saw my state (which wasn't terrible). A first Aid kit was quickly made available as was a comfortable place to recover. Coffee was brought to me, more staff came to offer assistance.
The mechanic, who was about to finish for the day came to check over my bike. The rear mech had been pushed into the spokes and neither wheel was spinning properly. He quickly fixed all these issues.
I had arranged for my partner to come pick me up and when the mechanic saw us starting to dismantle the bike to get it in the car, he rushed over to help us again, neatly packing it in for us.
Sometimes it takes a little crisis to realise and remember there are some wonderful people in this world, today I was reminded of this. A very big thank you to all at Blanca Bikes :-)
