Him off Brookside is a keen cyclist so he bought a hotel in France somewhere for cyclists. A B&B or something. How cool would that be, a few acres to grow veg, cyclists as guests, cyclists are usually pretty decent. But then you'd get nutters posting bile on tripadvisor "The mountains were too far away and the sausages were rubbish".
Think you're talking about Simon O'Brien. He used to have a cafe in Liverpool called 'The Hub' that also had a bike shop attached. Way ahead of its time, this was 1992ish, they had showers for commuters. Located near the Black horse and rainbow pub near the bombed out church. The salt and pepper pots were modified hope MTB hubs.
The Hub in Newcastle city centre is all kinds of brilliant. They have pub style quizzes before showing Spring Classics which I'm looking forward to.
Do cylists need "cycling specific" cafes? Is some kind of apartheid what we wish for?
Mmm, I've only been to The Hub during the day, it doesn't quite cut it for me.

Amici & Bici is a cafe near me that has a cycling theme. They provide locks for bikes, have a big screen showing races. They provided refreshments free of charge on the space 4 cycling ride in the summer.
Probably the best coffee in Sheffield too.

By that logic the human race must also "need" nail bars, tattoo parlours and a constant supply of mediocre coffee served in disposable 'sippy cups'It seems so. New one's seem to be opening at a fairly fast rate.

I'm grumpy this morning.
