Autoparts UK is gearing up for spring and summer by becoming an official distributor of a range of bicycles – with initial sales already ahead of expectations.
The motor factor is stocking high profile brands such as Claud Butler, Barracuda, Raleigh, Whistle and Tiger in a range of models and sizes. Autoparts is also selling Coyote Fat Tyre Bikes, which feature a high-impact steel frame, 4-inch tyres and sti shimano gears.
According to Cycling Weekly magazine, Governing body Scottish Cycling has reported a 10 percent increase in membership, with participation rising since the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow last year.
To support the launch of the new range of bikes, Autoparts is offering numerous special offers for independent garages to take advantage of.
Craig McCracken said: “Many motor factors have struggled with selling bikes, but we have gone about making a high quality product as accessible as possible for customers. We’ve researched the market thoroughly and steadily built an impressive range of bicycles that suits all requirements and budgets.”
