Boost for cyclists as Trinity Leeds launches free on-site bike store

The new secure bike store is located opposite Superdry on Albion Street and is now open and free to use, with space for 75 bikes.

The facility is manned and ticketed but cyclists are encouraged to take a bike lock with them.

David Maddison, centre director at Trinity Leeds, said: “Whether you’re back at work and cycling in to the city centre for your commute, or you’re wanting to pop in and browse some of our stores or grab some food at Trinity Kitchen, our bike store is available for you to use, free of charge.”

The bike store is open from 8.30am to 7.30pm, Monday to Friday​.

Trinity Leeds was recently the subject of a unique competition, run in partnership with the Yorkshire Evening Post, for one lucky business owner to take over a unit in centre for six months, free of charge.

Judging will now commence after the deadline for the 'Made in Yorkshire' contest was reached on Monday August 15.

Entries will be judged on elements including: details of products to be sold in the shop unit, background information on the brand, business plans and goals for the next five years, as well as how the owner will transform the space into an engaging store and offer a great experience for customers.

The winner will also benefit from media and marketing support from Trinity Leeds and have the opportunity to feature on the centre’s digital screens.

The competition aims to support local up and coming businesses in the city during these challenging times, with the winning brand able to host the pop-up shop between October 1 2020 to March 31 2021.
