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.
