The Société d'aide au développement de la collectivité (SADC) Matawinie is proud to announce the creation of a which opened its doors last June. The Saint-Donat-based boutique Cyclo LR Sports inc. offers bicycle repairs, rentals and sales. It also offers a wide selection of outdoor clothing for men, women and children.
Daniel Rochon, an electrical contractor for the past 13 years, has decided to open his own outdoor boutique, a dream he's cherished for many years. The new business, located in Saint-Donat, will offer sales, rentals and repairs of bicycles and electric bikes, as well as the sale of accessories and outdoor clothing. Cyclo LR Sports Inc. will also offer ice skate, snowshoe and cross-country ski rentals, as well as ice skate sharpening and cross-country ski waxing. The store will also offer Fat Bikea bike for winter.
A lifelong bike enthusiast who worked from an early age for his father, who owned a bike store, Mr. Rochon acquired a house in Saint-Donat and converted it into a commercial space. Located at the beginning of the bicycle path, at 400 rue Allard, it's a strategic site that will give him greater visibility. Mr. Rochon says he is "very happy" with the opening of his store, and is already looking forward to the winter season. The former sports store having burned down in the past, he emphasizes the popularity and demand for this type of business.
With the sport of cycling on the rise, a number of circuits are available throughout the municipality of Saint-Donat. Maps of these routes are available from the tourist information office, the bike store or directly from the municipality's website.
SADC Matawinie is proud to have supported Mr. Rochon in the development of his outdoor project. The coaching (consulting services) and financing offered through the Fonds d'investissement enabled him to get his business project off the ground.
