Cookson Cycles

Although I am just beginning my forays into this part of Greater Manchester, there seems to be a cluster of more upmarket independent businesses in Whitefield, which is definitely not what nearby Cheetham Hill or probably even Bury are about.
Cookson Cycles is a well-​stocked cycle shop of a decent size, and quite busy even on a rainy weekday afternoon. On my one visit, I bought some fingerless cycle gloves for summer wear, and they had several options at different prices. The lady sales assistant also talked me through the GoPro action video camera range for which Cookson are stockists.
I don’t know what else to say other than there is a friendly, unpressurised feel about the place which is characteristic of out-​of-​town family businesses. But the stock is up to scratch and the lady I spoke to seemed to have both adequate technical knowledge and also first hand experience out on the bike. If this is your local bike shop, I think you are in safe hands.
