Phil Corley opened his first store in 1979 in Great Linford. In 1981 he moved to larger premises on Neath Hill, where Dick Hooper became his business partner. After 5 years they opened a second shop in Stacey Bushes and kept both stores running before closing the Neath Hill store. Everything was moved over to the shop in Stacey Bushes where they have been trading ever since. Then at the end of 2010 the shop went through a refit to give it a fresh and bright appearance.
The shop boasts helpful and experienced staff, who share a passion for all things cycling. Our staff will help you with anything from choosing the right energy food and tyres, right through to choosing a bike and ensuring that it fits you properly. The workshop offers 3 full-time qualified mechanics, so you can be happy in the knowledge that your bike is in safe hands.
Please come and visit us and test the staff with all your cycling queries at your friendly and local cycle store.
