"Are you pedal ready for the summer holidays? Have you found parasols that need mending during the heatwave? Let's see if we can help you repair rather than replace those items.

"Of course, our brilliant team of volunteers will be on hand, in between eating cake, to help you fix things.

"Remember if you can carry it in or pedal it, we'll certainly have a look at it."
