Centraal Cycle

Business Description

At Centraal, our emphasis is on first-rate bicycle service with an eye to ensuring rider comfort, safety, and fit. We strive to provide excellent service while working in a framework of sustainability and community development.

As cycling promotes clean living as a lifestyle, Centraal Cycle is committed to using sustainable products and practices in its shop environment. We try to minimize our waste output, recycle materials, and use green products.

The following is a quick list of the initiatives we take advantage of:

Recycled Packaging - Everything in the bicycling industry arrives on our doorstep packaged in cardboard. On any given week the shop can have up to 400 pounds of cardboard pass through its doors. We collect this cardboard and all other paper products and take it to North Shore Recycled Fibers in Salem, MA. Our plastic is also collected and recycled with the help of the municipality of Beverly.
Recycled Parts - All of the metal that we strip off of the bikes in our Repair stands is also collected and taken to be recycled.
Eco-Friendly Shop Supplies - When we work on your bicycle in our shop we choose to use Pedro's line of lubes and cleaners, which are fully biodegradable. Our in-store parts cleaner also operates apart from the water supply in a closed system; we only need to replace the water in it every six months.
