Cycling enthusiasts in Shrewsbury and Warrington being treated to new cycle shops.

Rob Buckley

In Shrewsbury, ACT member Rob Buckley Cycles has opened in The Darwin shopping centre. The new store is Rob’s seventh shop in Shrewsbury, following 35 years in the retail industry, and he is still selling a lot of the brands he started selling from his very first store.

The new store sells Claud Butler and Raleigh bikes and all their necessary accessories. The store also sells superlight Squish Bikes.

They also maintain bikes, and offer a full range of cleaning products, inner tube pumps and wheels plus WD40 products. Cycle helmets, locks, touring bags and other accessories will also be sold at the store.

Rob said: "This new unit has exceeded my expectations, and I am beyond thrilled to be in such a prime location, opposite an iconic brand like M&S. This will make it even easier for my current customers to visit, and hopefully make our brand more visible to future customers. A big thanks to the management team who really helped me with this move and offered me invaluable support.”

Meanwhile, 65 miles north in Warrington, the team from Cheshire Cycles, which says staff have more than 40 years of experience in the trade, are opening the new Warrington Cycle Hub. Funding has been provided by Warrington Borough Council through the Town Deal Fund and the Hub says that, working with Warrington Borough Council, it has been designed to promote all things cycling in the town.
