George Halls Cycle Centre started out life as St Mary’s Motors around 1897. Somewhere in the 1950’s the manager at the time Fred Stanley bought the business and changed the name to Fred Stanley Cycles. When he wanted to retire in 1975, ex professional cyclist George Halls bought the business.
Neil Holman, the current owner started working for George on Tuesday 2nd June 1985 and bought the business from him when he wanted to retire, on May 2nd 2004.
The business expanded from No12 Northampton Road to No10 & 12 in 1993 to cope with the ever changing cycle industry and the ever expanding choice of bicycles.
As well as running the business, Neil Holman also runs CATS Mountain Bike Club, co-ordinates the Friday Night Summer Series (FNSS) and organises events for the Midlands MBO (MMBO)
We have an onsite workshop that can cope with most of today’s cycling repair needs from replacing a punctured tube to setting up gears, from bespoke wheel building to suspension servicing and as we do not use a booking in or appointments systems you can drop your bicycle off at your own convenience.
As well as all the spares on this website that we stock, this is just a small portion of what we do. We stock bicycles from Claud Butler, Dawes, Hoy, Pashley, Raleigh, Scott & Squish to suit all the family and all are supplied fully built and ready to ride, we never supply bikes in boxes.
