Cycle 360 isn’t just a spot on the map – it’s a full-blown adventure, a heart-warming community, and an absolute Manx legend!

As Cycle 360 celebrates its five-year anniversary like total dons this summer, Gef has taken a look to see just how it went from what seemed like a far-fetched concept to a Manx institution.
With its HQ on the Isle of Man Business Park, inspired by East-London bike shop-cafes and New York’s cafe and cycling culture, Cycle 360 has become the go to place for all your cycling needs.Cycle 360’s cafe provides a wide range of wholesome food that offers everything from comfort food pancake stacks, massive breakfasts to amazing salads and delicious wraps to some simply stunning homemade soups.
While the bike shop and cafe are the core of the business, Cycle 360 is more than that, it is an idea and a brand. Not only does it continue to reinvest into the island’s cycling community, it sponsors local athletes andruns free monthly coffee club social rides and organises non-profit events like the Cycle 360 MTB Series, which is in its fourth year.
Behind all of this success are Cycle 360’s people. Owners, Sacha and Mark Horsthuis lead a 30-strong team with Teddy Games as General Manager, Anna Karczmarz as Cafe and Events Manager and Carl Woods as Bike Shop/Workshop Team Leader.
Not content with being the trendiest hangout in Braddan, the team want to improve their business and grow it, with plans for a second base on the island in the near future – watch this space!
Mark, Cycle 360’s founder is working on a business side hustle called ‘Rox Coffee’, which will see the specialtyand Manx roasted coffee used in Cycle 360 retailed within the cafe, and at local shops like Robinsons (apparently they’re well in with the owners).
Cycle 360’s General Manager, Teddy is looking to implement a loyalty and reward system that works for bike shop AND cafe customers, with the vision of it working like a Boots points system (how good would that be!).
Not only that, we’re told its bike shop and workshop team are working on implementing an outdoor state of the art muc-off branded bike wash station!
Cycle 360 isn’t just a spot on the map – it’s a full-blown adventure, a heart-warming community, and an absolute Manx legend!
