The business operates as an established cycle retailer with a supporting e-commerce platform. It offers a broad product range including new bikes, electric bikes, parts, accessories, clothing and related cycling products, together with workshop servicing and repairs.

The UK operation was developed following the acquisition of an established cycle shop business and has since operated through a combination of physical retail and online sales. The operation also supports website sales and online fulfilment capability.

The business has material revenue scale for the independent cycle retail market and provides a buyer with an established operational platform, stock profile, retail infrastructure, customer reach and online sales capability.
