News: Cycle Lab continues to expand it’s retail footprint
I remember the early days of Cycle Lab, when I used to frequent that first proper store in Johannesburg and, as a regular visitor back then nobody really imagined just how far the brand would grow. To see how successful this retail chain has become – and now to see Cycle Lab opening a new store in George – is genuinely incredible. It’s a wonderful reminder of how a passion for the sport, coupled with vision and a strong sense of community (their club rides are legendary) can grow into something truly remarkable. Here’s the official press release from them.
Cycle Lab Opens New George Store
Cycle Lab, South Africa’s largest cycling retailer, opened the first Garden Route store in George on Tuesday, 1 September 2026. Cycle Lab George is located at Shop 56, Eden Meander Lifestyle Centre. It provides an extensive range of bicycles across road, gravel, mountain bike, youth, and eBike disciplines, as well as components, apparel, and sports nutrition products. A world-class workshop forms the heartbeat of the store, where riders of any bicycle will receive expert service and knowledgeable advice.
Cycle Lab’s retail ethos is based on six promises to cyclists, namely a Price Match Guarantee, 30 Day Satisfaction, the Widest Product Range, World-Class Bike Fitting, Unbeatable Bike Finance, and Best Trade-In Prices. At Cycle Lab George, bicycles, components, and accessories from brands including Giant, Liv, Marvel, Merida, Orbea, SCOTT, Silverback, Titan Racing, Ciovita, Wattz, Santini, Assos, First Ascent, PRO, Fizik, Sella Italia, MET, SCOTT, Leatt, Giro, and Oakley are on display. The range on offer is intended to provide cyclists with an extensive choice and enable them to make the best possible purchasing decision.
The first day of trading saw hundreds of Garden Route cyclists stopping by to take advantage of this range, browse for future purchases, and take advantage of the spot prizes awarded by the Cycle Lab George team. “It was amazing to meet customers and to start building the foundations of what we hope to grow into an active and engaged community,” Maartin van Rensburg, the Cycle Lab George store manager, said. “I’m looking forward to continuing to support cycling in the Garden Route and building this store into a cornerstone of local cycling. Regardless of what bike you ride, or what level you ride at, I’d like you to feel at home at Cycle Lab George. We’re here to provide mechanical servicing, sales and after-sales support, or simply to talk about bikes and riding.”
Cycle Lab George is open from 09h00 – 18h00 on weekdays, 09h00 – 17h00 on Saturdays, and 09h00 – 15h00 on Sundays and Public Holidays. To find out more, visit the store at Shop 56, Eden Meander Lifestyle Centre or online at www.cyclelab.com //
