Alex Bennett, director of Thistle and cycleGuard said: "We are really pleased to be linking up with our neighbours at the Gloucestershire Bike Project who do an amazing job supporting grass roots cycling projects alongside their new and refurbished bike. By teaming up we are able to help their customer access to specialist cycle insurance which we are offering a 10% discount on."
