The brand new shop is equipped with a dedicated workshop where the team will provide same day bike servicing and repairs, whilst customers seeking more extensive repairs can use a courtesy bike free of charge.

Commenting on the opening, Cycle Republic managing director Peter Kimberley said: “To have found such an excellent site in Reading alongside the central station is fantastic, the team have worked really hard to deliver a great looking shop, with an incredible range of award winning bike brands, and the very latest in cycling tech and an unparalleled workshop experience.”
