Evans Cycles has announced their latest store opening in Preston, Lancashire, appearing as a concession as part of the new Sports Direct store. 

The retailer said it hopes to support the needs of the growing number of cyclists in and around Preston, and promote cycling generally as an active form of transport.  

Preston has long been a hub of cycling with hundreds of miles of quiet country lanes ready to explore throughout the county and a variety designated cycling routes, on and off-road. It’s a perfect location for cyclists of all disciplines seeking a touch of adventure.  

Covering 1,509 square feet, the new store will stock bikes across multiple disciplines, including road, MTB, hybrid, electric and kids bikes, clothing and accessories. The store will also include a workshop with staff on hand to help. 

Founded in 1921, Evans Cycles has over 1,000 employees, 250 fully qualified mechanics, over 70 stores and a large e-commerce website.
