High-end bike fit company Cyclefit to open Manchester store
Having established its Covent Garden store in London, Cyclefit is opening at a new premesis in Manchester's Northern Quarter
Cyclists in Manchester will be able experience a state-of-the-art bike fit as high-end cycle company Cyclefit prepares to open for business in the city’s Northern Quarter.
With a store already trading in London’s Covent Garden, Cyclefit will open its store Manchester this spring, offering bike fits, consultations and a workshop.
The company introduced bike fitting to the UK market, with cyclists able to tweak riding positions to avoid injury or simply maximize their efforts in the saddle.

Cyclefit co-founder, Phil Cavell, said: “When we started thinking about Cyclefit beyond Central London, there was only really one place: Manchester – The home of British Cycling.
“We already loved its vibrancy and originality and, while searching for a site in The Northern Quarter, we got immersed in the city’s history and architecture.
“Eventually we found our dream home in an old yarn mill in The Northern Quarter.
