New store pedals its wares

A MAJOR cycling retailer has opened its first store in the Capital.

Evans Cycles’ latest outlet is based at Exchange Place retail and leisure space, and offers a range of bikes which can be test-run in a “try before you buy” deal.

Matthew Atkinson, Evans Cycles north regional manger, “We’re delighted to be opening up in Edinburgh, a place where cycling has a strong presence and a burgeoning, active community.”

A number of special launch offers and promotions will be available in-store, including a free safety bike check.
