Chandigarh is fast becoming a cycle-friendlv city with the UT administration going whole hog to encourage cycling and walking. Green corridors are being worked on keeping in mind the 2031 masterplan for Chandigarh.
The city already boasts of a professionally equipped multi-brand premium cycle store, cycleworx.in, the only one of its kind in north India with stores in Gurugram and Delhi as well, which also has the facility of cycle servicing, workshop for wear and tear, cycles on rent plus a Cyclist Cafe, which is the best add-on to the entire package.
“Apart from the multiple services we provide, the ambience of the store along with the café is what sets us apart, We have tandem bikes ( bicycles driven by more than one person). We regularly hold cycling adventures to Shimla, Rohtang Pass, Kashmir through our club,” says owner Vikrant Sharma.
Speaking to CityWoofer, on how the idea of a complete cycle store come about, he says, “In 2015, I suffered an injury, I was bed-ridden there was no work-out, no physical activity and after I recuperated , I started going hiking, I participated in four full marathons and that is how the journey started.”
“We have trained certified professionals, components, spares, everything and anything to do with premium cycles. We also offer a mobile service station and ride support vehicles for cycling expeditions,” he says.
