Bike Resources in Loughborough
Loughborough is one of those places that's well located for other places (such as Nottingham and Leicester), and as a consequence seems to have no status of its own. However, it is fortunate to be in the heart of rolling hills. This has boosted the popularity of cycling, and probably boosted the strength of local riders as well.
