Askew Cycles — 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00

New for 2009 is the Ridley range. Ridley Bicycles was started by the innovative spirit of one man, Jochim Aerts. A highly-skilled frame builder and painter, Jochim founded Ridley in 1996 and in a few short years, Ridley became a market leader in Belgium for racing bikes. It was Jochim's partnerships with racing clubs and a good eye for advanced racing technology that created Ridley's early success. In 1997 Ridley signed it's first professional team, Spar, and then went on to work with Palmans-Colstrop in 1999. After much race testing, Ridley released the first full-carbon version of the now famous Damocles.

Team Kit Launch

Administrator — 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00

Due to popular demand we have launched our own team strip. It has been designed in-house and is available from mid-september onwards. It is a project we have taken some considerable time and energy over. We didn't want to provide the usual uncomfortable team kit, so we have been looking for the right clothing manufacturer to use. We didnt want to use a manufacturer which compromised its product. And we have found it!

The kit has been designed with great looks in-mind without compromising on safety, durability and comfort. The shorts are great and come with features such as Gel inserts, mesh straps and silicon leg grippers.

Great Rides...

Administrator — 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00

We organise a group cycle-ride every Sunday from 9am till 12pm'ish. It leaves from the rear of the Askew Cycles shop. Rides average 16~18mph depending upon the time of year. Everyone is welcome so come for a ride and meet with other enthusiastic, friendly cyclists.
