Southport, Formby, Ainsdale and Birkdale: the Sefton coast is a favourite summer ride, and a long way from the motorway. We recover bikes along the coast and inland to Ormskirk.
Where riders get stuck around Southport
- A565 coast road to Formby and Crosby: Fast dual carriageway, then busy town roads.
- A570 to the M58 at junction 3: The main road in from the motorway.
- Lord Street and the promenade: Slow traffic, pedestrians and summer crowds.
- A565 north through Banks to Tarleton: Flat, open roads across the mosses.
Local knowledge
Sand and salt from the beach get into chains, brakes and electrics. Bikes kept near the coast over winter often have seized calipers or corroded connectors by spring. If yours won’t start after standing, a clean and a charge may be all it needs, but if not, we’ll get it to a garage.
On a busy summer day the roads into Southport and down to the beach car parks are slow. If the bike gives up in the queue, get it onto the pavement side and tell us the nearest junction or landmark, such as the pier or the Marine Lake.
