History
Cycle Surgery was founded in 1992, and started as a bicycle workshop in a basement in Horsell Road, Islington, London N7.[5]
Following the announcement of their King's Cross store closure [7] on 13 February 2020, on 30 April Cycle Surgery indicated to their mailing list that they were closing down entirely.
″Since 1992, we've worked hard to provide you, our customers, with the best brands in cycling and unrivalled expert service to help keep you in the saddle. Sadly, it's almost time for us to say goodbye but whilst we might be winding down, we’re committed to offering the best service possible, right until the very end. For now, you can still shop your favourite brands online with up to 70% off in our closing down sale and gear up for your next ride, wherever it takes you.″
No further details were given.
The company announced on their website that due to effects of COVID-19 some of their stores would not be opening again. On 19 August 19 2020 Cycle Surgery closed.
