Being free to enjoy all the excitements of a capital city, but to do so in public spaces that felt so relaxed was a revelation to him. It it was clear at the time that there was one standout factor: the people of Copenhagen were not car-dependent - they got about on foot, by bicycle and by public transport. It was self-evident that this has had a massive impact on their quality of life and that everyone in that city was the beneficiary of this. Seeing the city from the saddle of a bicycle, begged the question - why can't everywhere be like this?" He become an instant convert, so the road to Cycle Heaven began in Copehhagen.* To this day Cycle Heaven has been very advocacy-driven and we are strong supporters of the York Cycle Campaign. So one thing that you will find at Cycle Heaven is decent city bikes. But, as a shop we are also committed to a diverse culture of cycling. The depth and breadth of our staff's cycling experience inform the kind of products and advice that we offer and as we all ride lots of different bikes we have no time for the artificial boundaries between your cycling 'types' or 'tribes'. At Cycle Heaven there's something for everyone: for the real 'bikies' among us, who might only want to buy the frame and self-build; to the everyday rider who cares nothing about the components - as long as it works and comes in the right colour.
