Mud Dock Cycleworks<\/a><\/h2>\n

After 32 years of serving Bristol’s cycling community, Mud Dock Cycleworks is set to close its doors. Founded in 1994 by husband-and-wife duo Jerry and Beverly Arron, the shop has sold over 15,000 bicycles, becoming a cherished fixture in the city’s cycling scene. The decision to close comes as the Arrons look forward to spending more time riding bikes themselves. Notably, the Mud Dock caf\u00e9, located above the bicycle shop, will remain operational and continue to serve patrons.<\/p>\n

Jerry, 70, reflects on the journey: \u201cWe’re fortunate to have worked with some of the best people and brands in the industry. Back in the \u201990s, this was just a dream of two 20-something bike-loving design escapees from London!\u201d He adds, \u201cOur then-unique take on how bicycle retail could change, coupled with the new sport of mountain biking and its speed of innovation, produced the most exciting times. For more than 30 years we\u2019ve been helping Bristolians enjoy life on two wheels \u2013 something that\u2019s been good for them, good for Bristol and good for the planet. I\u2019m happy with that legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beverly, 60, shares her sentiments: \u201cIt’s been an incredible, enjoyable and massively fulfilling journey. As well as numerous new faces, we’ve seen countless repeat customers over the years \u2013 people who’ve come back for second, third and fourth bikes for themselves \u2013 or to buy bikes for spouses and then their children. And the best bit is the number of staff and customers who have become friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mud Dock Cycleworks will continue trading until the end of August, offering “extraordinary deals” on its remaining stock, including road bikes and electric bikes. For those interested in visiting, the shop is located at 40 The Grove, Bristol BS1 4RB. The caf\u00e9 remains a vibrant part of the community, offering a relaxed atmosphere and stunning views of Bristol\u2019s harbourside. (mud-dock.co.uk<\/a>)<\/p>\n
