For the second consecutive year Chain Reaction Cycles was the number one website in the Sports – Cycling industry based on market share of UK Internet visits during 2012, according to Experian Hitwise.

The awards, compiled by the world's leading online competitive intelligence service are based on market share of visits among all the UK websites in the Hitwise Sports-Cycling industry throughout 2012. Using a sample of more than eight million UK internet users, Hitwise take usage data from a wide range of ISP networks and opt-in panels from users in the home, work, educational establishments and public access terminals in order to produce results that are unmatched in timeliness, depth and breadth.

Marketing Manager Damien Duggan was honoured to receive the number one ranking again, saying: "To hold the top spot as the UK’s highest ranked cycling website for two years in a row is a huge privilege. Cycling’s on a roll at the moment – Bradley Wiggins’ success at the Tour de France followed by the London 2012 Olympics gave the sport a huge boost and we’re seeing increasing uptake throughout the world, whether people are riding to work, hitting the road in a local sportive or heading for the hills on their mountain bikes.

“We’re always working hard to enhance our customer’s shopping experience and we really appreciate that they’re visiting CRC as their site of choice. We look forward to another great year ahead, and we’d like to thank all our customers for their support.

To win this award once again is another proud moment in our company's history."
