Go Outdoors... Go Cycling... but No Go for cycle parking

With 30+ stores across the UK you may well have visited one of the Go Outdoor shops - particularly given the range of sports and leisure equipment and clothing available in the stores and online.

 The website for the Go Outdoors store on Great Ancoats Street, Manchester, M4 6DE provides an impressive list of store facilities:

• Baby changing facilities 
• Wheelchair Access
• Climbing Wall
• Cycle servicing
• Public Toilets
• In Store Hamilton’s Eat Drink Relax Café
• Tent Display Area (indoor)
• Calor Gas Stockist
• Changing Rooms
• Tent Repair (for tents sold by ourselves within warranty)
• Boot Fitting Area
• Gait Analysis Machine 

But one facility you will not find at the Gt Ancoats Street store is any cycle parking stands, should you choose to cycle to the store. Although the company seems very keen to let you know that they will not take any responsibility for loss or damage to cars, bikes or any other vehicles parked in the car park - should you find anything to lock your bike too!

So whilst the marketing banners invite people to:


GO Camping
GO Climbing
GO Running
GO Riding
GO Walking
GO Cycling
GO Travelling
GO Caravanning
GO Fishing
GO Skiing



Just don't try to GO cycle parking!



If you are a customer of GO Outdoors and would like to securely park your bicycle when giving them your money why not drop them an email via enquiries@gooutdoors.co.uk or call them on 0114 2796368.

Mind you, no cycle parking facilities at all may be better those on offer at the Go Outdoors store in Swindon.  See photo on right!
