Cycling shop rides off around corner

Masterton's Lambert Cycles will soon shift around the corner as work on a new shop continues.

Masterton Trust Lands Trust is building the shop on Chapel St, between The Professionals and Burger King.

Lambert Cycles owner Brian Lambert said they had been tenants of the trust for 24 years and were approached to make the move.

Mr Lambert said the business was given the option of moving when the lease ran out, or going elsewhere.

He said they were planning to shift the store during Labour weekend.

"The building is well under way now," he said "I think we got the best option."

Mr Lambert said the new building was quite "skinny" but would be highly visible from the street.
