A Cockermouth shop has been voted one of the best bikes shops in the North West.

4Play Cycles, on Market Place, came second in the region in a national competition run by Cycling Weekly.

Owner Adam Stitt said: "It's brilliant. We were gobsmacked and so grateful to everyone who voted for us after a customer entered us into the competition.

"We were up against lots of other big shops, including ones in Manchester and Liverpool."

The North West region winner was Arragon's Cycle Centre in Penrith.

Working alongside Adam in the shop is Stephen Vear and Jack Norris helps out on Saturdays.

Adam opened the shop 16 years ago.
