organize an event with BIKEINN
Events
Our key staff members here at the Bike Inn have a vast collective experience of planning, organising, attending, competing in, and supporting cycling events, sportives and charity rides.
We can offer you a comprehensive Event Planning and Support Service to help you create the event you are visualising.
Running an event smoothly
Ensuring your event runs safely, smoothly and seamlessly takes a whole lot more than just turning up on the day to provide mechanical support. Routes need to be planned, ridden, risk assessed and submitted for local approval; athletes need to be catered for in terms of medical as well as mechanical support, feed stations and sweeper vehicles; venues need to be selected, spectator control implemented, routes marked… there are countless things to organise!
Not only do we train the best mechanics in the industry, we also keep an informal network of Bike Inn graduates that we can call on to assist us when we provide support services at various events and locations. This enables us to offer year round support services, knowing that our event clients are professionally looked after, whilst the school continues to run with our top trainers still available to teach.
Event Support
Here at the Bike Inn we are able to offer you our combined experience and skill in the planning and organising of your sportive event. Our staff members are all experienced providers of cyclist support services, and fully understand the needs and requirements of cyclists and organisers alike.
We can arrange everything or any of the following elements for your event:
- Route planning – including multiple distances in a single event if required
- Route marking
- Feed stations
- Sweeper vehicles
- Mechanical support
- First aid support
- On-the-day logistics
- Pre event and rider administration
- Online booking services
- Provision of way markers, banners and other visual materials
- Event promotion and marketing – including press releases and articles
- Integrated social media, website and email blast services
We tailor our services to your needs.
As no two events are ever the same we do this on a bespoke basis – we tailor our services to your needs and remit. Pricing is dependent upon resources required, and we work to your budget.
The first step is to get in contact with a brief outline of the services you are looking for and we can arrange a (free of charge) consultation session so that we can discuss the proposed event in more detail and both get an understanding of what is expected. This can be virtual, face to face or by telephone.
Following this we will prepare an event specification and broad estimate of costs – if you like what we can offer you then we can move forward with more detailed planning.

What our clients say
I am enjoying the Bike Inn course. The work is taught very well by Jon on the videos and he makes sure that all the key points and correct techniques are shown which is brilliant for a mostly virtual course.
The course is laid out so that I can compete for units in order of my choosing, so as I progress with my training at work and through the study materials provided by the Bike Inn, I can compete for the units in order of the training scheme in my place of work. The tutors are also very easily contacted and are very fast to respond if I need to contact them for any help.
