Location

Bradford - BikeRight Workshop

We’re around a 15 minute walk from Bradford Interchange and Bradford Forster Square Train Station. Our workshop is at Accent Business Centre on Barkerend Rd, we are based half way down the site on the left hand side in an industrual unit - opposite the entrance to the site is 'S H Dad Solicitors' it has a purple shop front and is a good landmark to lookout for. When on Barkerend Road heading away from the city centre, please note that if you have made it to the handcar wash or roundabout then you have gone too far.
