And while there will be many who will not be showing disloyalty to their local bike shop just yet, the step into the cycling world from one of the UK's largest car maintenance names remains significant.reports the initial focus will be on supporting fleets using e-bikes and cargo bikes, with it also suggested that the partnership could eventually see Fettle collection and delivery service from more than just the initial three Kwik Fit centres, with currently 600 in total around the UK.
"However, the fragmented nature of the industry's current network of largely independent bike shops makes it hard for manufacturers and fleet operators to secure reliable and consistent high quality servicing across their operations. "Fettle has learnt a great deal over the last three years on the processes and skills required to tackle these trends, and a partnership between the businesses is a unique way to address this demand."
