The Movement - Dubai

Recently I got myself a new bike! A Linus bike from a wonderful little bicycle shop called The Movement in Dubai.




Linus are inspired by French bicycle designs of the 50s and 60s. They preserve the simple elegance and pure form of that golden era, but have all the benefits of modern comfort and reliability. It's a city bike and will be great for my endless journey's to the store and running errands. Its simple and reliable with a personality and style that makes you feel like you’re in an old French movie, not crazy busy Dubai! 



Please bear in mind I have not ridden a bike since my childhood but the saying 'its like riding a bike, you never forget' is very true!



I honestly didn't know this bike shop existed but was very happy to discover this local independent bicycle shop as I am now the proud owner of a gorgeous urban bike with a duck egg colour frame Linus! Its very vintage looking and so pretty that I have literally fell in love with it. The Linus bikes are available in so many beautiful colours, its hard to choose! They also have a great kids selection to choose from.




The quality of the bike is outstanding and they have searched for the best accessories and brands that share their philosophy on quality and craftmanship.

Using only biodegradable, non-toxic cleanser and lubricants at the workshop for all maintenance and repair work. Your bicycle should always be given a little bit of love and be kept well maintained.

The service I received when I collected my bike was wonderful, the staff was very knowledgable and checked the bike over, including the brakes, hight of the seat and adjusted it for my height as well as ensuring the wheels were fully inflated, etc.....



Riding it is just a dream. I been out for a few 10km cycle rides and its very smooth and comfortable. I especially like the fact that it has a slanted frame so I can climb on in a ladylike manor rather than hiking my leg across... and I must go back to buy a wooden crate like basket for the backside.





The Movement is buried in Al Quoz Industrial Estate so I would never had found it, although I was pretty impressed with the space it was in. A cute place called The Collective at The Courtyard, surrounded by art boutiques and cute little arty shops, you literally forget that you are in Dubai!



For more information, The Movement can be found at The Collective at The Courtyard, 6A Street, Al Quoz, Dubai (Tel: 00971 55 953 2144) or you can check their website: www.themovement.ae and Facebook Page: The Movement Dubai.


Bye for now.... happy cycling!!

Love💗
