We create the in-store display maps for the bikeshop chain 'cycle republic'. Behind the counter in every one of their branches in the UK there is a wall map of the relevant town or city, with the store's location marked at the book-centre. Each map is bespoke but the same colour scheme, symbols and scale is used across the range to maintain an identity - only the dimensions change, but reach from ceiling to floor and sometimes span over four metres wide. Obstructions like returns in the wall or ceiling-level ducts need to be taken into account so as not to obscure the title panel or key.
​
Typically, the maps illustrate the store's location centrally on the map with the National Cycle Network and other useful traffic-free paths shown in relation to it. Green spaces, railway stations, hospital, schools and other important sites are also shown.
​
Store locations for which we have provided the mapping include Liverpool, Gateshead, Derby, Reading, Canary Wharf, Bristol, Glasgow, Birmingham, Cheltenham, Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, Nottingham and Southampton.
