Independent electric bike specialists, Eden-e-Motion is celebrating Local Bike Shop Day in Hartley, Kirkby Stephen.
Local Bike Shop Day gives specialist, independent bike shops the chance to exhibit what makes their shop stand out, why consumers should shop local and what sets them apart from bigger national retailers – specifically the passion, knowledge and individual service IBDs provide to help customers get the most out of cycling.
Local Bike Shop Day welcomes the more experienced riders but its objective is to open up the door to everyone, including first-timers, experienced cyclists, females.
Paul and Kat Clow, owners of Eden-e-Motion have already gained Female Friendly Bike Shop status, and are launching two new services as part of their Local Bike Shop Day celebrations.
Paul said: “Our Local Bike Shop Day is so popular all our hire e-bikes are booked out for the day, however we will have plenty of electric bikes on display, and we will be here to explain more.
Kat said: “You will be able to find out more about our new services. You can now rent an e-bike from Eden-e-Motion and get your fee back when you buy any e-bike from us within 31 days or sign up for our new Instruction Hour ride, to give new or returning riders more confidence.”
Local Bike Shop Day was established in 2018, by Random Adventure, in order to celebrate independent cycle stores in the same way that the hugely successful Record Shop Day acknowledges local music stores. Local Bike Shop Day is supported by the Association of Cycle Traders (ACT). In its first year 90 stores took part in Local Bike Shop Day.
Paul said: “We are so pleased to be able to take part in Local Bike Shop Day. Your local bike shop is here to provide a bespoke service to each customers, helping you find the right bike for your needs. And our dedication to you doesn’t stop when you make your order with us.
“We deliver and build your bike, provide advice on care and riding your bike.
