About

Chez Cyclo sportif G.M. Bertrand, le vélo est une passion et une histoire de générations. Fort de ses quarante ans d’expérience,l'entreprise se spécialise dans dans la vente, le positionnement, l’entretien et la réparation de vélos.

Story

L’entreprise de la rue Wellington a d’abord pris racines à quelques pâtés de maisons de son site actuel. Le premier magasin familial a en effet été érigé par Rodolphe Bertrand en 1962 sur la rue Eddy. Ses fils, Michel et Gilles, respectivement le père et l’oncle de Sébastien, ont fait leurs débuts dans le commerce en 1965.

À l’époque, l’entreprise vendait de tout : des raquettes de tennis aux fusils de chasse, en passant par des articles de pêche. Puis, dans les années 1970, les Bertrand ont recentré leurs activités sur le vélo.

Au fil du temps, le père et ses deux fils se sont spécialisés dans la fabrication de vélos sur mesure. Les vélos Bertrand ont connu énormément de succès au cours des années 1970 et 1980, au Canada et aux États-Unis. Leur renommée s’est davantage propagée lorsqu’ils ont mis sur pied une équipe de coureurs cyclistes dont chaque membre enfourchait, bien entendu, un vélo Bertrand.

En 1997, en raison d’un conflit avec leur père, Michel et Gilles démarrent leur propre boutique de vélos sur la rue Wellington. C’est à ce moment qu’entre en scène Sébastien, fraîchement diplômé de l’école secondaire. Pendant huit ans, il y travaille comme vendeur, tout en poursuivant ses études en ressources humaines, en management et en marketing.

En 2005, Michel et Gilles proposent à Sébastien et deux collègues de longue date, Yan Théorêt et Jean-Jacques Vantongelen,de prendre la relève de l’entreprise. Ces derniers prennent alors la décision de s’associer et deviennent copropriétaires de Cyclo sportif G.M. Bertrand.

Dans le processus de transfert vers la nouvelle génération, la firme gatinoise Humaprise a prêté conseil aux entrepreneurs. « Ils ont été à nos côtés sur une longue période afin de favoriser le transfert de connaissances. Ils nous ont aussi préparés à intégrer les nouvelles technologies dans le commerce», explique M. Bertrand.

Very friendly staff and very good service. They have all the major components covered for fair prices (same goes with the service).

I came in to buy a pair of cycling shoes, and a helmet. The staff was friendly and really helped me find everything I needed. The atmosphere in the business is quiet and friendly, not nearly as busy as some of the other places I have been to, and the staff don't push you to buy something. It also helped that they let me put a little bit of money down and buy the items over a few weeks because my cash flow wasn't readily available. I look forward to shopping here again.

Got the least interested person to help me on the phone, went there and no one would serve me, their excuse, they thought I worked there. talk about not knowing who works with you.
