ACT Shop of the Month

Posted on 31 Aug 2016

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

http://www.actsmart.biz/uploaded_images/shop-of-the-month/act_sotm.pngThe 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 | September | Langsett Cycles

Langsett Cycles is one of the oldest cycle shops in the country. It began trading around 1890 on Langsett Road and moved to the present Infirmary Road premises in 1930 and has been an integral part of cycling in the Yorkshire/Derbyshire area ever since.

During the 1980's Langsett Cycles were at the forefront of the BMX revolution. In more recent times Langsett Cycles were again at the forefront of the sport with a combination of top brands and riders.

Langsett Cycles have a very friendly and loyal workforce that have all worked in the shop for over 15 years. Whether it be a bolt for your kids stabilisers or help setting up the suspension on your new mountain bike, they'll be able to assist you.

The large shop means they are able to stock and display all kinds of bikes for all ages and needs.

They also have a large display of clothing and accessories including a new ladies only department.

Langsett Cycles are a Shimano Service Centre and have a fully equipped workshop with fully trained Cytech mechanics that can carry out any repair you have, including work on suspension units, disc brake systems, wheel building and truing all at very reasonable prices.
