Cycle store closure is the end of an era
3:30pm Tuesday 1st July 2008
IT was the end of an era on Saturday as the only independent cycling shop in Redditch shut its doors for the last time.
Michael Davis, owner of the popular Michaels Cycles on Evesham Road, Headless Cross, closed the shop at the weekend after 15 years of him owning it and nearly 30 years of the shop existing.
Michael said: "I am very disappointed that with my retirement, a shop which has been in Headless Cross for 29 years will be closing, which will mean no independent cycle shop left in the town."
He said that he plans to spend his retirement touring the UK and Europe with his wife and was looking forward to getting out and about on his own bike.
