Looking at the name of the business, It’s the question that first comes to mind. What exactly is a pannekoek? So, literally speaking, pannekoek is the Dutch word for pancake. In pro cycling however it is used to refer to weak or foolish cyclists. It’ become a bit of an in-joke in our household as fans of The Move podcast and because of my occasional pancake behaviour.

How can you avoid becoming a pannekoek you ask? Well, a bike fit and a coffee is a good place to start.

‘If you’re out racing or Everesting at 40, then you’re a pannekoek. Fact,’ - Lance Armstrong.

Pannekoek bike fitting and cafe gives a fair idea of the offering, but not a huge amount of detail.

More details are provided in each sub-section, but in more broad terms Pannekoek consists of a horse-box providing high quality hot drinks as well as a range of divine pastries and cakes and is located outside of Summertown Cycles on Banbury Road.

But that’s not all……. Pannekoek also offers road, time trial, mountain bike and triathlon bike fits just a stones throw (if you have a good arm) from the horse box. All aspects of your fit and set up can be discussed and reviewed in line with your unique bike-related aims.
