Llandudno venture that combines cycling and coffee

Three firms have joined forces to create a ‘Coffee and Cycle Lifestyle Centre’ in Llandudno.

Retailers We Cycles and Beics Betws have established a bike hire and cycle shop to the rear of Providero's café on Upper Mostyn Street.

They hope bringing together the twin passions of cycling and coffee will prove a winning formula.

There are also plans for an exercise studio to be available for hire for classes and groups.

Louise Jowett, from Beics Betws, said: “When fully open the new venture aims to become a ‘Coffee and Cycle Lifestyle Centre’ offering retail cycle and hire services and a café.

“This model of business collaboration is quite unique locally with three business working together to create a venture which will attract both the local community and visitors to the town.

“With the growth in popularity of cycling and coffee then we're hoping bringing them together in one venue will prove a winner in Llandudno.”

As an established bike hire business located in Betws y Coed, Beics Betws recognised a gap in the market for bike hire facilities in Llandudno and Conwy coastal areas.

Likewise We Cycles, who are based in Llandudno Junction, identified a demand for cycle retail and repair facilities in Llandudno town centre.

Gareth Ffowcs Williams, owner of We Cycles, said joining forces with Beics Betws and working with Provideros café is an “obvious collaboration” that should help provide an excellent base for the local cycling community and visitors alike.

He added: “Everyone knows that cycling and coffee go together.

“Hopefully being able to enjoy a great coffee whilst perusing our store will make the shopping experience even better.”
