WEDS 13 JAN 10 - SEVERE WEATHER - SHOP CLOSE

So, so sorry, but we can't get in to open the shop today. Loads of snow has fallen and is still coming down, so we've taken the decision to shut as driving conditions are lethal.

I had to take my wife into the local school she teaches at today and cars were spinning all over the place with lots of roads blocked already by cars not being able to go anywhere...so my advice would be to stay in, keep warm and wait for another day.

The good news is that we've had loads of new items in the store, the latest stuff from Fly and Odyssey - together with some top ups of Proper gear...we're bursting with NEW goodies!

Come and have a look as soon as we re-open, it'll be worth it!!

Many thanks for your support, keep it RAD

Cheers
Dave

SAT 9 DEC - WE ARE OPEN!

Managed to dig the car out of the snow yesterday, and the expected snow didn't fall last night, so we're good to go! THE SHOP IS OPEN AGAIN!

I can't wait to get back now and apparently couriers will be running again on Monday, so things (hopefully) will get back to normal.

We are expecting a BIG Odyssey, Fly & Proper delivery on Monday, so those who are waiting for the latest JC plastic pedals, Fly 2010 range and Twisted Root Beer/Ocean Blue/Sea Green pedals - the wait is over!

Thanks for your support.

Keep it RAD.

SHOP CLOSED - SEVERE WEATHER - TUE 6 JAN

Woke up this morning to over 10" of snow, so the shop is most definately closed today as it's just not worth the risk of trying to get in for either the staff or our customers.

Enjoy the snow today, don't try and travel anywhere unless you really have too. Stay safe.

Keep checking back for updates both here and on our homepage...oh, and on Twitter too (radbmxshop).

Thanks all.

Keep it RAD.

Dave

WED 23 DEC - THE SHOP IS OPEN

Okay, it looks like I'll be able to get through to the shop today! We'll be open from 9am til 2.30pm - so get yourself down to the shop for those last-minute gifts!

So sorry for any delays with deliveries, we dispatched everything before the snow set in, but the couriers were then stopped in their tracks by the huge amount of snow we had. It was impossible for the lorries to get through.

Over 2000 cars were abandoned in High Wycombe on Monday night and even John Lewis allowed customers stranded at the store to bed down for the night, making up beds and letting the kids run riot in the toy dept! Brilliant. I wish I had gone there instead of trying to sleep at the shop on a cold floor!

Okay, the Christmas Cheer is officially back. See you the other side!

Weather Update

Well...the sun is shining and the snow is melting...we've still got about 12 inches deep outside the house and my wifes car is completely cocooned in snow! Never seen it like this before in the UK.

If there is no more snow, I'll be opening the shop at 9.30am tomorrow (wednesday) and plan to close at 2pm so as not to get stuck again so close to Christmas.

Sorry for any inconvienience, but having had an accident in the snow before, I really don't want to risk it.

Keep an eye out here and on the homepage (www.radbmxshop.co.uk) for latest updates.

Cheers RADsters!

Braved the weather...

...gave up trying to sleep at the shop last night, despite the heating being on full blast as soon as I laid down on the floor it was freezing!

So, after keeping an eye on the traffic cams I decided just past midnight to tackle the 18 miles home. Even with a 4x4 I could barely get out of Basepoint, but eventually made it home by 2.15am, much to the relief of my family.

The number of abandonned cars was unbelivable, it was like threading through a post-war zone, very strange.

Anyhow, safely at home and not going back in to open the shop today...it's just too dangerous.

I will try to open the shop tomorrow for a brief time, please keep an eye on the website and blog if you are wanting to pick anything up...as the Highways Agency is expecting another 12cm today.

I'm really hoping that everything we sent out gets to our customers, I would hate the weather to hold things up. But as long as everyone is safe at home and with loved ones, does it really matter?

In the words of the Home Office; Keep Calm. Carry on.
