Established in 1945 by Charles Lambert, the Company began operations as a retail store. Its particular focus for top quality service and attention to the true needs of the retail cycling industry can be traced back to its beginnings.

A merchant at heart, Mr. Lambert quickly initiated joint purchasing with other local retailers to obtain appreciable volume discounts on their cost of goods by directly importing bike parts and accessories.

Due to the success of this area of the business, Cycles Lambert Inc. decided to abandon all retail activities in 1984 and concentrate all Company resources onto the distribution side. Tremendous growth was enjoyed as a direct result of this decision.

In 1985, Mister Lambert gave the reins to his daughter Céline, supervising administration since 1977, her husband Doris Roy, handling accounting since 1973 and Gilles Nadeau, a loyal associate since 1976. This new ownership team brought about a unified partnership between customers, manufacturers and the distributor whose objective was to offer the best worldwide cycling products to Canadian retailers.

Since then, the Company has become the leader in cycling parts and accessories by highlighting the excellent value of all brands it chooses to distribute. Cycles Lambert's expertise and commitment to excellence in servicing its customers has been rewarded by being voted as #1 in service for ten consecutive years. (as per Jim Rennies report)

Cycles Lambert Inc. is proud to employ over 100 dedicated people who share the same passion in meeting the needs of over 1200 loyal customers. The Company is continuing to progress as the sales, operations, administration, purchasing and marketing departments work as a team on an everyday basis to achieve this goal.
