Any pub names with a cycling connection?
I’m taking a trip to East Sussex this weekend and by chance saw that there used to be a pub called “The Bicycle Arms” near Crowborough. That got me thinking, I don’t know any pub names that have a cycling connection. This would be unusual considering the great variety of subjects covered.
Anyone know of any?

That would have been the Bicycle Arms at Argos Hill. I've certainly had a pint or more there in days of yore.
Once upon a time there was the Railway and Bicycle in Sevenoaks, now gone.

Until about 20 years ago there was the 'Cyclist's Rest' at Shieldhill south of Falkirk, appropriately at the top of a very long hill.
I believe there is another pub of the same name somewhere in Northern Ireland.

There are quite a few - lots of Penny Farthings, a Goat and Tricycle, Stokers, and even a Three Jolly Wheelers...
Haven't found a Puncture Fairy though
I am aiming to visit 't Velootje in Gent this November.
Does anyone know if it is still open?

And of course while drinking in these pubs we should be asking for a pint of Village Bike

Not my choice of hostelry though, just the name that caught my eye

Re: Any pub names with a cycling connection?
Just back from the weekend trip. Thanks for replies - some good pub names around - I've also discovered "The Wobbly Wheel" near Banbury, tho' I suppose that is not specific to cycling. Sowing the seeds of an idea for a cycle tour. Keep 'em coming.

The Cycle Tavern in Auchtermuchty, Fife

The Crown Nottingham - it's on Raleigh Island and right outside where the factory used to be ...

This is my Royal Enfield Revelation outside The Royal Enfield in Redditch:
Cycled 800 miles to get there and no free pint!
There is a Raleghs Cross inn at Raleighs cross on Exmoor, I do wonder why the Pub has a different spelling to the place, especially as its only a pub and a crossroads that make up Raleighs Cross

It is in Fahan in Co Donegal, Which is the province of Ulster but is part of the South just over the Border from Derry/Londonderry
WE used to have a pub called the Cavendish in Felixstowe, but it was knocked down whilst Mark was still in nappies.
