The company started as a mobile cycle repair service covering Renfrewshire and the north of Inverclyde back in 2020, opening the Bridge of Weir shop in 2021 and expanding into the shop next door in 2022.

The business scooped the 'most promising new business' title at the Renfrewshire ROCCO awards in 2023.

Owners Ian and Julie Stokes say they're looking forward to welcoming Inverclyde customers.

Julie says: "As we already had a number of loyal customers in Inverclyde using our services, we thought there may be demand for an independent bike shop to be based there.

"We’ll be bringing our ethos of great customer service to Greenock, along with a good range of bikes for all ages and abilities."

The store will also offer repairs service, cycle advice, demo rides, and bike rentals.
