Ooh - exciting! Love Decathlon and Sheffield is such a treck from where I live

 

[Moodyman]

Good news. Always wondered why they weren't in Leeds, considering the city's size and big cycling culture.

A bit of competition for Evans in the centre of Leeds then as they have the monopoly at the moment (still prefer woodrups though)

Yes! Looking forward to this! I am regularly in Leeds for study and loved going to Evans and cycle surgery at break and having a mooch.

They’ve just closed one about 15mins ride from my house so I have to cycle about 10 km to the other one in Accra .

it's been a quiet announcement, I wouldn't have known if I hadn't caught a glimpse of the posters in the window as I rode past the Scarborough Taps this morning, had to check online as I was keeping a beady eye on traffic whilst on the Inner Loop Road at the Railway Station/Queens Hotel.

Quite frankly, I've been expecting one in Leeds for quite a while, but thought it'd probably be on the Crown Point Trading Estate, or in Holbeck

The Sheffield branch is a bit of a pain, for those of us in West Yorkshire

I think size wise the old Toys R Us store at Birstall, next to Ikea, would have been ideal for a Decathlon to move into, they could have had a lot of stock In there, it would have been like some of the huge ones in France.
