Award-Winning Spokes Bikes To Open New Store In Greenock

Spokes Bikes, an award-winning Renfrewshire-based business known for its dedication to quality and personal service, is opening its second store directly across from Battery Park in Greenock.

The new shop is opening at 315 Eldon Street following the end of the lease for the previous tenant, Kip McGrath who has since relocated to larger premises on Union Street in Greenock.

The first retail shop opened in the village of Bridge of Weir in November 2021, expanding into adjacent premises in March 2022.

“We found the perfect location across from Battery Park (ideal for a shop with e-bikes!).

“Over the last few months we have invested in various areas of the business including our click and collect service and e-commerce as well as strengthening our team of expert mechanics who have experience working on all makes and models of bikes.

“We also now stock Cube and Merida bikes adding to our existing Ridgeback, Frog and Cinelli offerings.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming the public from 6 April onwards, bringing our ethos
