A Look Back on 2022

Cycle 360 is proud to be an independent, small business and as a team we feel even prouder looking back on 2022 that we achieved so much as a 35-strong team.

Despite the reluctant decision to say farewell to Fitness 360 in September 2022, we’ve still managed to invest more than ever in our infrastructure, people and partnerships, proving our commitment to investing in the future of cycling here on the Isle of Man.

We made a considerable investment into our brand new garden patio that provides our customers with a year-round cosy outdoor escapism with candles, soft lighting and apres-ski vibes, creating an intimate yet uncrowded setting.  We hosted multiple FREE events such as our women’s bike maintenance evening and women’s cycling Q&A, as well as our monthly coffee club social rides.

Within the bikeshop, we welcomed Cannondale to our brand portfolio, as well as Restrap – a technical bike packing brand and other smaller boutique brands, like Supass.  All brands and products adding another level of excellence and quality to our Manx, independent bikeshop offering.

Cycle 360, still for another year, has kept its doors open seven days a week – meaning its the only bikeshop on Island to be open on a Sunday.  With a customer-centric approach, sitting still isn’t our style, so investment into our online bike shop has meant we’re competitive in the online market and our customers now have an even better overall customer journey – we’ve heard it from you personally!

We’re so excited for what’s in store in 2023: not least with our brand new air stream trailor (we’re calling her Stella!) and our first floor having a refirb.

We can’t thank you, our customers, enough for your continued support.  The pure fact that Cycle 360’s coffee is a daily staple to so many, means the world because we love serving you.
