Rutland Cycling, which last year bought Cambridge chain Station Cycles, has opened its fifth store in the city, located in the new CyclePoint bike park adjacent to the railway station. The store will provide a full sales and maintenance service, as well as cycle hire.
Open seven days a week, brands stocked include Brompton, Specialized, Trek, Brompton, Pashley and Whyte, and the shop will also provide a click-and-collect service for orders purchased through rutlandcycling.com.
Station operators Abellio, who commissioned the 3,000 space CyclePoint, said: “We're pleased to welcome Rutland Cycling on board to provide the important retail element at the UK's largest and most prestigious station cycle park.
“We always envisaged a strong link with a local cycle retailer at Cambridge CyclePoint, and we are sure that Rutland's knowledge of the local market and commitment to high standards of service will be a real benefit to our customers."
Rutland cycling directors David and Sally Middlemiss both graduated from the University of Cambridge. They said: “We feel privileged and very proud to be part of this great cycling city once again.
“As an independent, family-run business, it’s really important to maintain a physical retail presence. We believe passionately in going the extra mile for our customers, whether that’s offering them a free courtesy bike while we’re carrying out repairs; fitting their car rack while they wait; putting on regular maintenance classes; or inviting folk to join us on our free led rides.
“These are exciting times for cycling and we’re looking forward to being part of the Cambridge cycling scene, helping inspire even greater participation,” they added.
One of Rutland Cycling’s other branches in the city, The Giant Store, was in the news earlier this month when a thief tried to make off with an £8,000 bike – but was unable to pedal away on it since it wasn’t fitted with pedals.

Hmmm - robotic squirrels. I can't see any problem with them inevitably turning against their creators....
I had been disappointed not to find Giro highlights on Quest, just seen an ad for it on DMax. Happy now.
What's that crap on the left, been in auckland. Really makes those white lines and foldable plastic wands look like a 3 year thought of the idea
She will not get many votes for her pledges or policies. Most of the votes will be simply because she wears a blue rosette. The bollocks she spouts...

And if I tried to inspire you that critical thinking isn't just about finding problems with someone else's logic?...
