Mark O Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Guys/Girls, While frequenting our favoured watering hole with the main bunch in Largs at the weekend, Mr Bagel Basket (Dennis) advised me that he has placed a couple of inner tubes, tyre levers and pump behind the counter at the cafe for club members' use, should anyone get caught out with more flats than they can handle. I think this is a fabulous gesture by Dennis and one we as a club should acknowledge by continuing to drink his coffee, eat his cakes and leave his fixtures and floor soaking wet when we leave. Dennis has mentioned on more than one occaision that he, Laura and the staff do enjoy our custom and give the place a real buzz when we turn up. It's good to know we are most welcome at the Bagel Basket, whatever condition we turn up in, and the club's general friendliness is appreciated beyond the cycling world.

Richie Cross Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Nice. Yeah, I was looking at the puddles we were leaving on Sunday and wondered what they were thinking. Would it be too much to ask for our own drying room Thomsonscycles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted April 8, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Truly outstanding gesture by the management. So long as Largs is on our route, I will always go in for tea and carrot cake. And of course, to drip on their nice wooden floor.

Paul C Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 A great gesture! A couple of months ago I got a puncture as I rolled up at the BB. Dennis came out and mentioned that his brother/brother in law has a bike shop in Ayr or somewhere down there. He mentioned having a few bits behind the counter and I said it would be good idea.

Members Iain67 Posted April 8, 2014 Members Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Good shout Mark, nice to support local business. We bypassed on Sunday as did not think the drowned rat look would go down to well with the locals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted April 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Iain, Dennis and Laura have no problems whatsoever with us turning up in the guise of droont rats. They reckon we add something to the ambience of the place and they get some custom out of us. All good. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
