As part of a regular monthly feature supported by 2XU (www.2xu.co.uk), Tri247 is going to be going up and down the country introducing you to the shops and staff that work hard to give you access to lots of triathlon goodies! So, if you haven’t been to your local shop this is the ideal opportunity to find out a bit more about them and pop in and say hello!

This month we are in Edinburgh meeting the boys at Bicycleworks.

Andrew Davies and John Anderson started Scotland's first triathlon centre four years ago, knowing that triathlon was a fast growing sport. The tri shop is in the basement of a nutritional supplements store, ISO, in Edinburgh and has rapidly become a focus for the sport in Scotland.
