ACT Shop of the Month

Posted on in Cycles News

Each month the ACT recognises one cycle retailer as the Shop of the month.

The Shop of the month benefits from appearing on the home page of The Cycling Experts and the ACT websites, accessible by up to 600,000 web visitors a month.

The Cycling Experts benefits from traffic directly from British Cycling, Why Cycle, Bike Hub, Sustrans, Bike Week and Bikesoup, which all utilise or link directly to the Experts Business Listings. The combined traffic from all of these sites exceeds 4 million unique visitors a year.

To be considered as a future Shop of the Month, make sure your promotional listing is up to date. All cycle retailers have a basic entry with the option of creating their own extended, unique, promotional listing, click here to find out more.

ACT Shop of the Month | April | Arrow Cycles

Since 1988 ACT members, Arrow Cycles have been selecting and selling quality cycle products from good solid commuting bikes to top of the range racing and mountain bikes from the major manufacturers, including all the extras.

The Lincoln based bike shop pride themselves on their belief in "you get what you pay for", only offering the highest quality products, but giving the best value for money along with useful advice and customer service.

As well as offering the best products, Arrow Cycles are proud to offer all aspects of cycle maintenance and repair with Cytech Two and Three qualified mechanics on hand to ensure every bike is serviced to the highest quality.

Every employee of Arrow Cycles rides as a hobby from mountain biking (trail, natural and racing), to leisure road riding, road racing and time trailing. Enthusiastic staff who enjoy what they do is key to delivering the best service.

Outside the retail environment, Arrow Cycles are an active part of the cycling community. 2013 saw the birth of Arrow Cycles Cycling Club. Now, with over 70 active members the club has been taking the road and off road races by storm with regular club riders and plenty of racing throughout the UK.

In 2014 Arrow Cycles even introduced Team Arrow - a contract team with six carefully selected riders with an aim to make Team Arrow a serious contender in selected race events throughout the UK.
