Evans Cycles is closing down its West End store on Mortimer Street in May, leaving just one cycle store and workshop in Fitzrovia.

Earlier this month, Frasers Group — which owns Evans — bought online discount cycle retailer Wiggle CRC.

The closure of the Mortimer Street store comes only months after independent cycle shop Velorution also called time nearby at Great Portland Street along with the shutting down of all its other shops.

In 2019 there were five cycle shops operating in the neighbourhood.

After the closure of Evans, Cycle Fit at Store Street will be the only shop in Fitzrovia offering sales and repairs of cycles.

Good 3rd place today at the #northwestcyclocross!
Battled hard, could have finished 2nd had he realised he had another gear!

Loves his #Hoybikes and we're glad it's still helping him to the podium every race 😊
