Club
The Complete Cyclist club is an extension of our retail stores in every facet. We cater for novice riders just starting out, recreational cyclists and competitive cyclists across all disciplines. As with our retail stores our goal is to create a warm, friendly and fun environment where any level of cyclist is welcome and made to feel comfortable.
We strive to go beyond the tradition club standard to create more of a lifestyle where people know they can belong; a comfortable atmosphere where you can share your passion with like-minded people.
Just by word of mouth, the club has grown steadily and is now well recognized in South Africa. The areas where the club rides are based are in the hub of cycling activity, making it a great environment to enjoy cycling.
We are continuously making improvements to our club so we can offer our members more value for their money and for their time, from recreational and competitive road and MTB riding to events and the basic club socials as well as many product discounts - we have it all.
