The staff at Amici and Bici have advised us that from now on you will be asked to show your CTC/Cycling UK membership card when ordering a hot drink before the start of a ride, otherwise you won’t be offered the discounted price. This is to make sure that only those entitled to it get the benefit. To be fair, this is the basis of the agreement that we originally struck – it’s just that we’ve got a bit lax on both sides at putting it into practice.

So remember, no membership card = no £1 drink.
