Cycle Republic is experiencing increased demand for its ‘Mobile Bike Servicing’ just over 12 months ago after it was launched across central London.
Working in partnership with the team at Rozone, it has developed a fully equipped cargo bike, carrying essential parts and an integrated parts washer. The qualified mobile mechanic travels across the city providing same-day servicing where all work is guaranteed and free bike safety checks are carried out at commercial buildings.
The retailer has developed relationships with facility managers of several buildings within central London and is experiencing increased demand for this service. The team currently supports over 20 buildings where hundreds of businesses are located and several thousand employees ride to work.
Alan Mann, general manager at Rozone, said: “Rozone are delighted to grow our relationship with Cycle Republic by supporting the mobile bike workshop with the provision of parts washers and Ozzy Juice. The unique formulation of Ozzy Juice is ideal for a mobile operation as it’s both a highly efficient degreaser, saving time for mechanics and is kinder to the environment with no odour.
“Cycle Republic is the only operator of a mobile bike workshop to use Ozzy Juice and we are excited to see this partnership develop.”
Sam Robson, sponsorship and events manager at HSBC, added: “Feedback from cyclists has been positive and the service levels offered by the team ensure that every bike is looked after with care and attention, whether it be a free bike check or a full service.
“The ability to offer an on-site bike workshop on a regular basis is a real boost for our cyclists as it allows them to ensure their bike is safe for their commute without the hassle of leaving their desk.”
The retailer is now looking at further opportunities to enhance the service proposition as it continues to expand its team across London.
