Halfords says Britain's cycling success at the Tour de France and the Olympics
has resulted in strong summer trading.

Store sales rose 5-point-6 per cent in the second quarter - clawing back some
of the loss earlier in the year and resulting in a fall of 0-point-1 per cent
for the 26 weeks to September.

It compares with a first quarter decline of 5-point-6 per cent and a profit
warning that prompted the departure of then CEO David Wild.
