Our story:
A Family Business
Inspired by the cycling scene in London, Austin, Minneapolis and Brooklyn, Cycle 360 is the brainchild of husband and wife Mark and Sacha Horsthuis, who started their journey to creating a unique concept in a purpose-built building back in 2014.
A keen cyclist and coffee enthusiast, Mark has worked in the sporting industry for all of his life, starting his career as a Level 3 BASI Ski Instructor, moving over to the cycling scene as a bike mechanic and working in London independent cafés as a top barista.
Mark explored the opportunity of opening his own café and bikeshop back in his homeland, the Isle of Man, and quickly gained the backing from family to help his dream come true.
While Sacha’s background in advertising, marketing, PR and events brought her to relocate to the Isle of Man following university, Mark and Sacha’s stars aligned one Christmas when Mark’s business idea, coupled with Sacha’s passion, expertise and enthusiasm, plus her prominent family history in the Isle of Man’s cycling culture, was the perfect match for making Cycle 360 happen!
Originally a ‘pop-up’ shop out of a storage unit, Cycle 360 launched as a quirky bikeshop selling coffees, and quickly made a name for itself.
Now, based in a purpose-built 5,000sqft building across two floors and located in the accessible Isle of Man Business Park, Cycle 360 attracts an average of 500 people a day visiting its café and bikeshop offering.
Much more than merely bricks and mortar, the Cycle 360 brand is recognised all over for its Coffee Club social rides, Isle of Man cross-country mountain bike race series and for its partnerships with mass-participation events like Gran Fondo and Lighthouses Challenge.
Cycle 360 is a staple to hundreds daily attracting serious coffee drinkers, bike enthusiasts and families everywhere.
