ACT Shop of the Month
Posted on in Business News , 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 newly redesigned The
Cycling Experts and the Independent Retailers Confederation (IRC) website, 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 and Bike Week, which all
utilise or link directly to the Experts Business Listings.
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 | July | Nicholson's Cycles
Nicholson's Cycles is an independent family owned retail cycle shop located in Dundee, Scotland.
The original business was opened in 1949 by Jack and Irene Nicholson. Jack was a member of the Dundee Thistle Cycling Club and a good amateur rider. The site of the original shop was No. 15 Arbroath Road, Dundee.
The shop was a "Mecca" for all level of cyclists during the 1950's and 1960's. Brands such as The Flying Scot, Holdsworth, Bob Jackson, Falcon and Raleigh were much sought after bikes.
Into the 1970's, the business re-located to the current site at No. 2 Forfar Road, Dundee. Jack and Irene retired and the Nicholson name continued to flourish throughout the 1980's under the guidance of Jack's son-in-law Bryn Williams and Jack's daughter Margaret.
The brand names have changed but the family tradition continues. As the shop moves into the 67th year of trading, Bryn and Margaret are making way for their son-in-law Colin, ably assisted by Mark, 30 years service and Billy, 27 years service.
The shop stocks an excellent range of quality products with all technicians Cytech trained.
