Times are pretty tough for independent retailers, especially at this time of year. We can’t ‘slash’ our prices to rock bottom, or magic products to doorsteps in less than 24hrs. To do so would ruin us.
That’s why every purchase, every service appointment, every kind word shared about our shop means so much to us.
When you choose to shop local, you’re not just buying a product. You’re supporting our mechanics who remember your bike by name, the young riders getting their first set of wheels, the community rides we organise, and the belief that small businesses help keep our towns vibrant and connected.
This Black Friday, we invite you to support small businesses—ours or any of the wonderful shops in our community—that pour their passion into what they do.
Sale-wise, we have some moderately discounted stock (because we like you!), with the added value of our exceptional customer service (which is not just for Christmas, we pride ourselves on this year-round). If you’re shopping for a bike, please view our stock here: www.rootscycles.co.uk/bike/
As always, we have our talented mechanics, CT and Grant, fuelled by coffee and questionable playlists; we have Martin, his bike fitting skills, banter and encyclopaedic knowledge of bikes; festive chocolate by the till for you to enjoy (hopefully, if we’ve not eaten it all); and buckets of enthusiasm for you and your bike.
Thank you for keeping us rolling.
Thank you for choosing local.
And thank you for being part of our cycling family.
The Roots Team
