Cycle 360 has chosen Manx Telecom as its telecoms partner.

It means the business is now benefitting from a fibre broadband and wireless network solution.

The cycle hub – which includes a bike shop, cafe, and fitness club – believes that it is now one of the most technologically advanced businesses in the Island’s fitness and retail sectors.

Mark Horsthuis, Managing Director at Cycle 360, said: "At Cycle 360 we embrace technology, and we know that our customers do too.

"We wanted a comprehensive, reliable, resilient and cost-effective IT and broadband solution – and when we looked at the options available, Manx Telecom was the obvious choice to be our official telecoms partner.

"The software we use in our bike shop, cafe and in our fitness club is cloud-based, therefore superfast broadband is an absolute must.

"We are very happy with the broadband solution Manx Telecom have provided, as are our customers!

"We've worked closely with Manx Telecom over the past 12 months, and look forward to an on-going relationship working together in the community.

"We love what they have done in the past in regard to cycling, and we believe their corporate social responsibility strategy is a great fit with our own business goals."

Gary Lamb, CEO at Manx Telecom said: "Cycle 360 is a fantastic concept bringing together many components of a cycle centre under one roof.

"We're delighted to be providing our Optimal Fibre broadband which will deliver the best WiFi experience available on the Island.

"Everyone who visits Cycle 360 will have access to superfast free WiFi powered by our Optimal Fibre broadband, and transactions will be made easier and faster thanks to a cloud-based payment solution supported by Guest and Corporate fibre broadband networks providing speeds up to 1Gbps and 500Mbps respectively.

"An extra layer of broadband resilience is provided by a VDSL service.

"To complete the comprehensive solution, Cycle 360 is also using Manx Telecom mobile and fixed line phone services, the latter being delivered by our Intelligent Voice IP-based solution."

Cycle 360's brand new bike shop, cafe and fitness club is located at the Isle of Man Business Park.

On the first floor of its unique building is a fitness facility comprising a gym, spin studio, fitness studio, changing rooms, and a physiotherapy treatment room run by Optimum Physio.
