But first: Who is Cycles United?
Cycles United is Africa’s cycling franchise group. Why would a bicycle shop join the cycles united franchise? Because of bulk buying power. And to be part of a national dealer network. With digital marketing and brand advertising. Plus, their own financing. Have a look at who they are and what they do on cyclesunited.co.za/
QUESTION: There are 17 bicycle shops under cycles united. Do you think we have sent bicycles to/from each one of them?
I had a quick look, and it is very close, but not 100% just yet. 15 out of 17 is pretty darn good either way. We are still to send bicycle to/from Mannie in Windhoek. However, we have sent to his Swakop store. And PD cycles does ring a bell, but I can’t remember if/when so leave that for now. And even though we have sent bicycle to Cyco cycles on Thesen island before, I cannot remember seeing that store when we were in Knysna for karoo2coast a fortnight ago. As for the rest, YES indeed we have been there to either collect or deliver someone’s boxed bicycle with bicycle couriers.
