Openbikeshops.uk surpasses 1,000 shops

Posted on in Business News , Cycles News

The online map and postcode search facility at openbikeshops.uk was recently set up by the Bicycle Association and the Association of Cycle Traders to highlight bicycle shops remaining open during the COVID-19 outbreak.

The map now has over 1,000 open bike shops listed on it that are all providing services during COVID-19 to support people and key workers with transport and exercise needs.

Services provided by open retailers can range from appointment only, or workshop-only, or perhaps on a deliveries-only basis. The exact extent of opening is indicated, so that customers are fully informed.

The map is completely free for both users and all retailers, irrespective of ACT or BA membership.

Retailers are encouraged to confirm their opening status ASAP at: openbikeshops.uk/trade

This process is very quick and easy: most shops will find their contact details etc. are auto-completed when they enter their postcode. Then all they need to do is answer one multiple-choice question to confirm their opening arrangements. Opening status can be easily revised later if circumstances change.

Consumers can simply enter their postcode to see the contact details of confirmed open bike shops in their area.
