Latest News and Events from Cycling 2000

In the mean time until we are able to reopen, for those customers with “Key Worker” status we will continue to help wherever we can with essential servicing and purchases. If you need help please email us at info@cycling2000.co.uk and we will do whatever we can to help.

Our other focus now for the coming weeks will be our on-line business for people wanting to purchase bikes, and we are adding more products every day. All bikes can be ordered on-line and delivered direct to your door. You can still apply for Finance on line although Click and Collect will not be available during this time.

We hope you understand the decision we have made and look forward to seeing you all when we are able to reopen.

There are now very strict instructions for people not to travel and only shop for the every essential items. Along with a number of essential shops, bike shops are allowed to stay open, at least for now.

Based on this we have decided to revert back to the decision we made yesterday morning which is to remain open but with a strict “Closed Door” policy in both Lichfield and Burton. This will enable us to continue to complete bikes we currently have in the workshop and also prepare new bikes that have already been ordered so that they can be collected.

Following Government guidelines we have decided to stay “open” in order to continue to offer sales and servicing support to those people that consider their bike to be essential transport for their work, however we will be reviewing this daily.

If you need to visit either Lichfield or Burton shop to have a bike repaired or make a purchase please first ask youself if it absolutely essential or could be avoided. We are staying open for now to help those who really need it but encourage everybody to stay at home. Only 1 person will be allowed in the shops at any time and where possible we will deal with your enquiry outside.

As we have seen in the last 48 hours the advice can change quickly and we will be constantly reviewing our own policy to ensure all of our staff and customers are safe. Please take all the advice very seriously so that essential services and shops can remain open.

Following the latest strict instructions issued by the Government this evening, both Burton and Lichfield stores will close with immediate effect until further notice. Our website and on-line purchases (with the exception of “Click and Collect”) will continue to be available.

We currently have a number of customer bikes in our service department, we will make contact with each customer directly to discuss the options available.

We also have a number of sold bikes that customers are expecting to collect over the next week or so, again we will be in touch directly with those customers to discuss how they can be collected.

At this stage we are not able to take bikes in for service and repair.

Whilst both shops are closed please use info@cycling2000.co.uk to get in touch if you have any questions or queries.

Events We held various events during the year including a Cannondale Test evening during the summer and an Elite/Zwift demo evening in November.
