RUTLAND CYCLING

Established in 1981, Rutland Cycling is an independent, family-run bike retailer with fourteen stores across central England. Five of those are located here in Cambridge, with branches at the Grand Arcade, Cambridge Station, Barnwell Road and Histon – plus Rutland’s Giant Store on Hills Road – all are open seven days a week. Much has changed in the world of cycling since 1981, but Rutland’s core values remain the same: to offer excellent customer service, sell the world’s best cycling products and inspire local communities with its passion for cycling. In the company’s award-winning stores, you’ll find the perfect cycling gifts for Christmas: bikes for all ages, clothing, parts and accessories – everything you need to help keep family and friends cycling through the winter. Pop in-store and the Rutland team can help make your Christmas a cycling one to remember! For those looking for some new wheels this Christmas, the Gazelle CityGo Hybrid Trapeze bike (£598.99) is built to withstand everything an urban environment might throw at it. Its robust frame can get you to and from work, the gym and everywhere in between. And not forgetting – safety first! The Lazer Compact helmet (£29.99) is perfect for commuting to work as well as general leisure cycling, and is available in an array of contemporary colours.

Podarok is a proudly independent, award-winning gift boutique based in Cambridge’s arts quarter, packed to the rafters with beautiful gifts for you and your loved ones. Podarok (the Russian word for gift) came to life in 2012 and, in early 2019, a local Cambridge couple took the reins. The shop is full of unique gifting ideas, a fab team of staff and has the cheeky Podarok Bear out the front. “We’re especially known in Cambridge for our quirky shop front and book-themed handbags, along with our wide range of jewellery handmade in the UK,” says Carrie Pluck, manager at Podarok. “Many of our customers have adorned their houses over the years with our funky screen-printed lampshades, and snuggled down with our sumptuous vegan suede cushions – all printed in the UK, celebrating the work of British artists. From pocket-money pieces to some more extravagant one-offs, our fabulous team are always happy to help you find the perfect gift for that special someone. We’ll even gift wrap it for you for free!” If you’d like to beat the queues this Christmas, you can shop online on Podarok’s website, and if you’re a local, you can collect in-store free of charge.
