Back in the 90s, this was just a dream of two 20-something bike-loving design escapees from London!Our 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 weve been helping Bristolians enjoy life on two wheels something thats been good for them, good for Bristol and good for the planet. Im happy with that legacy.Beverly, 60, says: It's been an incredible, enjoyable and massively fulfilling journey. As well as numerous new faces, we've seen countless repeat customers over the years people who've come back for second, third and fourth bikes for themselves 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. The Mud Dock cafe will continue trading. Mud Dock Mud Dock Cycleworks will continue trading until the end of August while the shop offers extraordinary deals on its remaining stock, including on road bikes and electric bikes.
