A bike restoration business in Penylan is helping to make Cardiff a cool and inexpensive cycling destination.<\/p>\n

Rollquick Bicycles<\/b><\/a>\u00a0takes the disused parts from classic British models and recycles them to create retro wonders that are as safe and reliable as most modern bikes.<\/p>\n

The colour scheme for this lightning quick racer was inspired by a similarly swift Jamaican runner<\/a><\/p>\n

Dan Bradshaw runs the thriving business from a small garage below his home in Doe Close. The 25-year-old recently sold his hundredth bike, allowing him to quit his retail job and focus on his real passion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re all quirky and different,\u201d enthuses Dan, gesturing towards the assortment of wheels and frames in his workshop. \u201cI\u2019ve never sold two bikes that look the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

His unique and attractive bicycles are also reasonably priced; the cheapest go for just \u00a380.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
